Hello all, I'm trying the trial version and have a quick question. We'd like to use amember to sign up people for events (in addition to other membership type use). I've created a 'product' for an event, but we need to have the visitor be able to 'buy' more than one registration. For example, a manager might be purchasing 6 registrations for his whole group. How do I let them buy multiple quantities in one transaction? Thanks, Chris
I think what you are looking for is more of a shopping cart than subscription management- unless you are plaaing on rebilling them? David
This gets a little tricky, even with a shopping cart, as what userids and passwords are set for the various IDs purchased, etc.
We're doing something very similar for a client. We had the amember guys make a (premium) customization to allow for the quantity to be changed. Also, we made ourselves a simple shopping cart with PHP sessions that sent all the info to amember when the user clicks checkout, then amember takes over. We're currently working on making it so you can register other people through this method, not sure how complicated this will be. All I can really say is that it has been complicated. It took us weeks of development, mainly because SMARTY isn't the best of frameworks (in my opinion). It makes it very difficult for someone else to come and edit preexisting code. So, it is possible but you'll need to do some customization. Amember isn't build to do this stuff, that's important to understand before you start the project.
Did you ever have any luck with this? I need the same exact functionality. So when a member visits they can purchase X amount of the same product. Then X amount of accounts are created. One for each purchase. Just saves the members time from having to sign up 10-15 people individually.
