I am looking for the most efficient way to create two separate custom post types called "venues" and "offers". The role of such would be to display on a website it in the following way:

VENUE_1

• offer A
• offer B
• etc

VENUE_2

• offer C

As you see, the venues will be quite static, once added photos and descriptions will remain the same. The most dynamic thing are offers. They will vary from each other. I know I can handle that through ACF repeater in a single CPT but I don't want to use this solution due to a few technical requirements.

Is there any way that Wordpress (or Wordpress ACF) will allow to do that? From the flow pov it will look like that:

• an editor adds venue, with descriptions, photos etc through venue CPT
• along the time an editor adds specific offers through offers CPT, selecting via e.g. dropdown to which venue it is connected

I have never used relationship fields in ACF but afaik while selecting I need to do it fully manually and select very specific offer. And as said, I want to handle later on only offers, avoiding situation when constantly I need to add manually those via venue item.

You're probably over complicating things.

You should approach it from a taxonomy point of view, meaning, venue as a taxonomy, offer as a custom post type.

You can use taxonomy-<my-taxonomy>.php to create a specific template for your custom taxonomy. eg: taxonomy-venue.php.

You will be able to access your venue through the following permalink example.com/venue/my-awsome-venue

On each venue taxonomy pages you will a custom query to loop through each offer which are listed under the currently queried venue.

You should read Template Hierarchy from the codex, to have a better understanding of templating.
