There are basically 2 ways about thinking of a purchasable Zoom meeting.
- As a predetermined event/meeting
- As a user-determined event/meeting
Predetermined Event
A predetermined event is a meeting whose creation is determined by the admin or Zoom account holder themselves. An example could be an online event such as “A Class Gathering”, “Online Concert”, “Webinar for an Online Class” etc. Here the Admin (Zoom Account Holder) will choose date and time, create the meeting and will want to sell their meeting. The visitor to the site then see the event details and can make a purchase to get join links for the meeting.
User-determined Event
A user-determined event / meeting is one where a visitor to your site wants to avail service from you. This could be something like “Booking a one to one Yoga class”, “Doctors Appointment”, or “Debugging session” or something similar. Here the visitor comes to the site looks at the option to create an appointment/booking and after successful purchase a meeting is created. Hence user-determined.
Depending on what you are looking for the choice of plugin or combination of plugins will be needed.
