Drupal 7 Commerce Module Tutorial #9: How to Set Up Event Registrations

In the 9th tutorial on Drupal Commerce, I show you how you can create event registrations with Commerce. In doing so, we download and enable the registration and commerce_registration modules, set up a registration type, configure a new product type and then configure a work shop content type. Along the way, we create our workshop and workshop products as well as configure the proper permissions for anonymous users to register.

Thanks for putting together this tutorial. Yeah, it's almost 5 years old, but still very relevant and helpful. I've been able to bolt on paid event registrations to my existing Drupal 7 Commerce site.

The entire Drupal 7 Commerce Module series has helped us out big time with a sorority site. This tutorial comes just in the nick of time to help us build out there yearly convention registration! Thanks so much!

Dude Pete, you're the man. This couldn't have been better timing. Looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks! Totally useful tutorial that helped setting up a conference website for a client

Great tutorial! Allowed me to configure this quickly (especially when I followed your directions rather than "innovate"). Thanks for taking the time and effort on this!

Great video on how to setup registrations with registration entity and commerce registration. Thanks. I have done this on my site and it's working but I can't see anywhere that the admin can see what the registrant's lunch preference is? I'm sure I'm missing something - can you help me out?

Thanks for all your tutorials, Pete, they're life savers!
I'm trying to set up a store that sells bicycle tours. The customer should be able to make a pre-reservation with no charge (choosing any date they want), and then we should confirm the reservation (or not), and then somehow notify the customer so they can go to the website again and, this time, buy the definitive reservation, paying for it. Any ideas about which would be the best approach for this? Event Registration seems it could be useful. I've been trying different things and I'm kind of lost. Any hint you could give me would me great. Thanks!!!

Ok, i see it now - go into the content page and then click on the workshop content item and then the tab "manage registrations" and they click on "view" and there it is. Thanks

Thanks for the video! I have a question, what if there are sub events with defferent prices inside an event? whatI mean is that I want users to register to a paid event and they can register too to other piad events inside the main event.

Jordi Llobet I can't seem to reply to your comment so just throwing this out there for you... I'm not entirely sure the best way to go about that, what comes to mind immediately is two products, a prereservation and an actual reservation. However, I don't think that is the way to go. I think you're better off using some type of flag, like the flag module itself, to do the request. If you end up scaling - no idea how big your site will be / traffic - having orders at $0 for prereservations and then reservations could get painful. Additionally - unrelated to drupal - you may see more sales by eliminating the extra step between actually charging a person. I'd be interested to know what drop off you see by making a person return to actually purchase the reservation. You might be better off looking at refunds for reservations you can't fulfill but that's just my two cents.

Have you resolved the original issue with the rule not working? I setup just as you did and it works great if I have just one event. I am finding that I have to toggle between "completed" and "processing" and back to "completed" if I have more than one item. I am using the event registration for a tournament of Rugby teams and they have different brackets so I have each bracket setup as a different Product and it is only toggling ONE of the events when it completes them. Thus my having to edit it more than once. Otherwise seems to work. I also set it to cancel but have the same issue there.

Hi! After following the steps till 8:36, when I click checkout, I'm not redirected to the registration form but directly to the checkout form whit billing info. Any idea why?
