Hi there! I have an event on my site with the following parameters:
Yoga Retreat
Cost for an individual – $1350
Cost for a family of up to 4 people – $950 per person
In both situations, it is required to put down a deposit of $500.
Questions:
1. Is this possible in the Lite version or do I need the Pro version?
2. If they pay the $500 now, can the balance be paid later and if so, how can I set that up?
Thank you!

Hi Stefani,
Partial payments are currently not officially supported by Event Espresso.
With EE4 it is possible for the Event Admin to manually apply a deposit to the transaction and then the attendee can pay the remainder off. However this initial payment would need to be done separately from Event Espresso’s online payment gateways (such as cash or cheque) which the admin will need manage separately and apply to EE.
The steps involved in this would be the user registering onto the event, selecting an offline gateway such as Invoice, sending the payment to yourselves, you manually apply the payment to the transaction for that user and the user can then use a link within one of the emails they will receive to pay the remainder online.
Does that help?

Hi!! Thank you – it helps but I’m a little confused. So, if the event is $1350, I could apply the person’s payment myself (if they paid me via cash, cheque, or into my paypal account)…and then they can pay the remainder through their confirmation email??
Thank you!

Hi,
Yeas that’s correct. In EE4 you would apply a payment to the transaction and then if they visit the payment page they will see that a payment has been applied already.
They cannot however send a partial payment when they first register, which is why they need to complete the registration using an “offline” gateway such as Invoice.
