I am looking at using Formidable for event registrations where payments happen offline.
There is a bit of complexity involved, in that users can do the following:
- register for all three days
- register for just one of the days (and specify which one)
- register as students (reduced price)
- take a partner to social engagements (add a surcharge)
Based upon users’ form entries, an invoice would be generated (ideally in PDF form).
Is there an easy way of doing this?
I had set the event up on Event Espresso, and it’s fine for the basic functions. However, for the more complex requirements I’d have to use the Multiple Event add-on. I’m weighing up the cost of that versus using Formidable (which is also being used on the site for other functions).

This could be done with Formidable Pro--Do those who are registering for your event get registered as WordPress users? or can anyone fill out the registration form?
Creating the form that allows users to select all their options then have that form calculate a total is the easy part. If users are logged in, then displaying their "invoice" is also super easy to customize and make look pretty for PDF conversion. If users are not logged in, you could use either the email that is sent out as the invoice or you could create a confirmation page.
If you need the entry to be converted to/downloaded as a PDF file, you may be able to use one of these plugins:

Again, the conversion is going to be easier if registrants are logged in users(you can use the formidable pro registration add on to do this if you aren't already)
