How to make events free for members, and paid for non-members?
To offer free event access to members and charge non-members, you can set up discounts on members' subscriptions. Simply go to the Community section, select the member or company, and configure a 100% discount for events in their subscription. Then, when creating a new event or selecting an existing one, set the regular price for non-members.
Can members add events to the app?
Can members add events to the app?
In your app, only administrators can create events. However, a process for members to submit event requests can be set up through the Shop page. To do this, create a new product on the Shop page with specified rules, a questionnaire, and event hosting guidelines (you can name it "Request Hosting Your Event", for example). Members interested in hosting an event can apply, leave event details in the "Comment" section and then administrators will reach out to them, create an event in the app, and add the user as a host.
