Caz Event Manager Pro is a WordPress event booking and management plugin built for WooCommerce. It allows businesses to turn WooCommerce products into bookable events, workshops, classes, sessions and other scheduled activities while continuing to use their existing WooCommerce store and checkout.
Caz Event Manager brings event bookings, capacity management, attendee records, payments, cancellations, wait lists and event-day check-in into the WordPress dashboard, without requiring a separate third-party event booking platform.
What is Caz Event Manager?
Caz Event Manager is designed for businesses that sell places at events through a WooCommerce website.
Instead of treating an event as a separate booking system, Caz Event Manager connects event management directly with WooCommerce. Businesses can create and manage events from WordPress while customers book through the familiar WooCommerce purchasing process.
The plugin is suitable for a wide range of event-based businesses, including:
- Workshops
- Classes
- Training sessions
- Courses
- Creative and craft activities
- Demonstrations
- Community events
- Scheduled experiences
- Small-group sessions
- Other capacity-limited events
How Caz Event Manager Works
Caz Event Manager uses WooCommerce as the underlying commerce system while adding the functionality required to manage event attendance.
An event can have a defined capacity, allowing the system to track available places as bookings are made. When an event reaches capacity, bookings can automatically close and customers can be offered a place on the waitlist.
Customers complete their booking through the existing WooCommerce checkout. Once booked, attendee information is available to event organisers through the WordPress administration area.
Each attendee can receive a QR-code ticket by email. On the day of the event, staff can use the built-in mobile-friendly scanner to scan the attendee’s QR code and record their check-in.
This creates a continuous workflow:
Event → Booking → WooCommerce checkout → Attendee → QR ticket → Check-in → Attendance record
Event Capacity and Stock Synchronisation
Caz Event Manager provides capacity management for bookable events.
Event capacity can be used to control how many customers can book a session. The Stock Sync functionality in the Caz Event Manager Pro 3.0 development line connects event availability with WooCommerce stock management, allowing available places to be synchronised with the associated WooCommerce product.
This helps prevent an event from accepting more bookings than the available capacity.
Attendee Management
Caz Event Manager provides a dedicated attendee management system for event organisers.
The attendee view can display information such as:
- Customer name
- Contact details
- Booking information
- Ticket status
- Check-in status
Organisers can also manage attendees directly from the event administration interface.
Walk-in bookings can be added on the day of an event, allowing staff to record attendees who did not complete the normal online checkout process.
QR Code Check-in
Each attendee can receive a QR-code ticket associated with their booking.
At the event, staff can use the built-in camera scanner to scan attendee QR codes and record attendance.
The check-in system is designed for use on mobile devices and can provide an optional audio alert when a ticket is scanned.
This gives event organisers a simple event-day workflow without requiring a separate ticket-scanning service.
Waitlist Management
When an event reaches its available capacity, Caz Event Manager can provide a waitlist option for customers who still want to attend.
This allows businesses to continue collecting potential bookings rather than simply displaying an unavailable event.
The waitlist can be used alongside event capacity management to help organisers manage demand for limited-capacity events.
Cancellations and Refunds
Bookings can be cancelled from the attendee management interface.
Where appropriate, the organiser can also process a refund through WooCommerce and send a cancellation notification to the customer.
This keeps booking administration and WooCommerce payment management connected rather than requiring separate systems.
Event Communications
Caz Event Manager includes event communication functionality for contacting attendees.
Organisers can send bulk reminder emails to attendees of an event from the WordPress administration area.
This can be used to communicate important event information before the scheduled session.
Mobile Staff Dashboard
Caz Event Manager includes a mobile-optimised staff dashboard designed for use during an event.
The dashboard provides staff with access to relevant event-day functions without requiring them to work through the full WordPress administration interface.
This is particularly useful for staff responsible for:
- Checking attendees in
- Scanning QR tickets
- Managing event attendance
- Handling walk-in bookings
- Monitoring the event on the day
The staff interface can operate with restricted access so that event staff do not need full WordPress administrator privileges.
Event Management Tools
Caz Event Manager provides additional tools for managing events efficiently.
These include:
- Monthly event calendar
- Event booking counts
- Per-event revenue summaries
- Check-in statistics
- Event cloning
- Custom event fields
- Upcoming-event display
- Configurable event terminology
The event cloning feature allows an existing event configuration to be duplicated when creating another similar event.
Public Event Display
Caz Event Manager can display upcoming events on the public-facing website using a shortcode.
The events can be presented in a card-based layout so customers can browse available events and access the relevant booking products.
This allows event listings to be incorporated into existing WordPress pages rather than requiring a separate event website.
WooCommerce Integration
Caz Event Manager is built specifically around WooCommerce.
This means businesses can continue using their existing WooCommerce infrastructure for:
- Products
- Checkout
- Customer accounts
- Orders
- Payments
- Refunds
- Email notifications
- Stock management
The event-management functionality is added on top of the existing WooCommerce environment.
This approach is intended for businesses that already operate a WooCommerce website and want to add event bookings without moving their sales process to a separate booking platform.
