Our Learning team is looking to sell some of their offerings via a flex package but still would like to collect form data like they would for a single ticket event. I think that pre-cart customization would accomplish this. Does anyone have experience building their own pre-cart to do something like this? And would you be willing to share your experience with a pre-cart newbie? For context, we are on RAMP and 15.1.15.
Madeline,
We did something extremely similar for our education events. Some of our education events are sold via packages rather than single events, so I built a custom pre-cart form to collect data and save it to a CSI (in the same way that regular events do). We use fixed packages rather than flex packages, though I would have to imagine that it would work in much the same way.
I would be happy to share what we use, though, word of warning, this is not the easiest customization to implement. It requires at least a decent chunk of SQL knowledge, plus maybe some HTML and CSS if you do not particularly like the structure of the page I have built and/or it does not fit into your themes (though I tried to base it all off of TNEW's stuff for ease whenever possible).
Feel free to send me an e-mail at jmoskal@thecenterpresents.org. Any other details about how you want yours to work might help me to give you the parts of our customization that will best aid you (e.g. in case your use of flex packages varies enough from our use of fixed packages that adjustments would need to be made).

John,
Could I take a look at is as well?
Thanks!

Certainly! Just send me an e-mail, and I can get the stuff sent out.
