New plugin: payment via voucher (e.g. for invited speakers, co-organizers)

Development Plugin Development

For our events we would like invited speakers, co-organizers, etc. to register, but we don’t want to make them pay nor do we want to manually have to go in and edit their payment. Rather we’d like to give them (personalized) vouchers so that they can “pay” with that.

We’d need:

A new payment plugin that

  1. Allows us to set voucher codes (general or personalized)
  2. Allows users to enter the voucher codes as payment
  3. Checks if the voucher code is valid (and, if personalized, if it has been used by someone else yet)

We might have some funds available to support implementation of this new plugin. Please respond here if you are interested in creating this.

You may set up a special ticket for invited. Set it as not visible and then use the link to invite the persons you want to register.

Hi Heidi,

I have built several payment plugins for Indico before

Your use case for invited speakers makes perfect sense, I did something similar with personalized codes that track redemption status.
The validation logic and integration with the registration workflow should be possible to implement.

Would be happy to discuss the technical details and timeline if you want to move forward with this.

You can reach out to me on my email here

Hi, considering that I’ve never seen your name in the Indico community, could you please provide some references here (or privately) on what Indico (payment) plugins you developed?
