Features for Simplero Events
David B. Alexander
Two basic things that should be possible for Events:
1) For free events, allow a more flexible registration. Specifically, it would be good if the creator of the event could make First Name a mandatory field, as well as Last Name. Currently, email is always mandatory but name fields are optional and the creator has no control over that.
2) For paid events, if the same order form that works for Products could also work for Events, then the event creator could charge for events without needing to use a Product.
An alternative is to combine the above two items: the current order from (1.x or 2.x) is much too complicated for a free event or product. The flexibility in the Landing Page registration process is suitable for free items. So if order forms could be simplified for free items, and attached to events, that would make the Simplero Event feature much more flexibile, as well as making the registration process for free products and events simpler (when they are not being added via trigger).

Agree with requests 1) and 2) as it would be a good feature to be able to make the name of the registrant mandatory and it would be a fantastic feature if Simplero made it easy for us to charge for our events as a person registers.
Currently when someone registers for a paid event, we have to follow up with an email link to a product order form, and cross our fingers that 1) the email made it to their inbox and 2) the registrant will follow up and pay. And then...we have to approve their registration.
Why not make it simpler to help us increase revenue without making the registrant (and business owner using Simplero) jump through hoops?
Every feature designed should be approached with the point of view of "How will this help a Simplero user generate revenue?".
Events are not there yet, but there's potential!
