Stand alone integration

I was very excited to try the feature, as we often hold fundraising events. While the form integration is a neat feature, it doesn't work without an actual donation. So if I try to delete the donation amounts from a visual builder, it wouldn't let me, as the form wouldn't work without it. If I try to add a donation level "$0", the form with an optional additional donation, then the form would return "Invalid value for elements():
amount
must be greater than 0" error under card payment option (even if I select to purchase one ticket). Additionally, the Event block only displays correctly on the Classic layout. The other two are too narrow for the block to display correctly.
Also, I would like to see an option to customize the donation receipts specifically for the event. For instance, set the value of goods provided during the event (for instance a $50 meal) for tax purposes, attach a ticket along with a tax receipt, etc.
Finally, since Stripe also charges for processing of the payment for the event, an option to covert event ticket fees would be very useful.
That would be a very impressive functionality that would make your plugin truly all-in-one tool for fundraising.
For now, I will settle for FooEvents (a more clunky option for events with WooCommerce).

Thanks so much for trying out our event tickets feature Andrii Sichkarenko! This is great feedback. We do have plans to make it possible to offer even tickets without donation in the future, and we will ensure it displays properly on all form layouts. Your feedback about customized event receipts is really helpful, and we'll keep that in mind as we proceed.
I can't give an ETA on these updates yet, since we have to do some structural work to GiveWP (particularly the database) to support non-donation transactions, which is something that GiveWP wasn't originally designed for. I'm really looking forward to rolling out some awesome updates in 2025 that will hopefully make GiveWP the "truly all-in-one tool for fundraising" that you're envisioning.
