It allows attendees to treat event tickets as virtual products, enabling them to add multiple tickets for various events to a single WooCommerce cart and checkout alongside other products on your website. ## **Initial Setup** Before you begin, ensure you have the following requirements: * **MEC Pro**: This addon utilizes the booking feature exclusive to the Pro version and is unavailable in MEC Lite. * **Installation**: Ensure both MEC and the WooCommerce Integration Addon are installed and activated.

Map your WooCommerce statuses to the three MEC categories using these placeholders: * **Pending Statuses**: Select statuses like **Pending payment**, **Failed**, **On hold**, or **Draft**. * **Confirmed Statuses**: Select statuses like **Processing** or **Completed**. * **Rejected Statuses**: Select statuses like **Cancelled** or **Refunded**. ## **Taxes and Fees Management** You can choose how to handle financial details between the two systems: [![](https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/image10.png "image10 - WooCommerce Integration Addon")](https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/image10.png) **Add MEC Ticket Taxes/Fees to Cart**: Applies tax settings from **MEC Settings > Booking > Taxes / Fees** to the WooCommerce cart.

MEC booking notifications follow your **Booking and Notifications** configurations, while WooCommerce handles order-specific status emails. ## **Use Cases (When This Addon is Useful)** * **Unified Shopping Experience**: Perfect for sites selling merchandise (like t-shirts or books) alongside event tickets in one transaction. * **Standardized Payment Management**: Ideal for businesses that want to use a familiar WooCommerce checkout flow and existing payment gateways. * **Complex Tax Compliance**: Useful for international sellers needing to apply specific tax rules supported by the WooCommerce tax engine. ## **Situations This Addon May Not Be Ideal** * **MEC Lite Users**: This addon requires MEC Pro to function. * **Pre-filled Forms**: It cannot currently use WooCommerce customer data to pre-fill participant registration fields. * **Dynamic Cart Edits**: Users cannot change the *quantity* of tickets on the WooCommerce Cart page; they must delete the item and restart the selection. * **Protected Content**: It does not inherently hide page elements (like videos) based on whether a user has purchased a ticket. ## **Troubleshooting for Beginners** * **“Add to Cart” Option Missing**: Ensure the gateway is enabled under **MEC Settings > Booking > Payment Gateways**. * **500 Errors at Checkout**: This is typically a server-side error; check your server logs or follow standard WordPress troubleshooting for internal server errors. ## FAQ **1- I use the WooCommerce Integration Addon but don’t see the Add to Cart option.
