I found this thread from 2013 for EE3 (https://eventespresso.com/topic/suggestions-for-collecting-a-deposit-partial-payment/) and was wondering if there is a similar workaround for EE4. I need to be able to allow partial payments. So I have a ticket named “Full Price” and one named “Pay Deposit”. How can I modify payments and prices once a user has paid the “deposit” ticket? Thanks for your help!

Hi, tickets can’t be changed without canceling the current registration and adding one manually through the WP dashboard. However, you can update payment amounts through the transactions screen.

Here is another workaround for partial payments:

Thanks Lorenzo,
What do you mean by “Update payment amounts through the transactions screen”? How do I do that?

Hi, there is an apply payments button in the transactions screen (Event Espresso –> Transactions –> click on a specific transaction) when viewing a specific transaction. It looks like this:

Clicking on that button will then show a pop up window where you can enter payment details and save changes:

Any payments are counted against the balance due.

For example, if a member owed $75 and they then paid you $50, then you could add that payment in for $50 and then would leave a balance of $25.

This is a manual process as it multiple payments via registration checkout (registering for an event) will not update the original transaction.

Hi,

I took another look at this and created two tutorials for handling partial payments or deposits + final payment in Event Espresso 4.

This process is not completely automated but it is possible to do in the current version of Event Espresso 4.

You can view the ideas here:
