Hey Event Espresso users in Utah! WordCamp Salt Lake City is happening this weekend.
If you want to learn more about WordPress, meet new people, and have a great time while doing so, then WordCamp Salt Lake City is the place to be. You might even get to meet some of the biggest names in the WordPress community, such as Chris Reynolds, Carrie Dils, and Garth Mortensen. (more…)
We’re excited to share with you new details on a powerful new add-on that has emerged as one of this year’s coolest features – Event App Customization – Only $69.95, for a limited time!
This is great news for event managers wanting to show their own logo in the Event Espresso event app. With our new Event App Customization add-on, you can now customize the Event Espresso 4 event app for Android and Apple using your own logo image.
Yes! Customizing the EE4 event app is easy and allows you to upload and display your own logo in the app screens. This is a great add-on for companies that want their employees to have a custom branded event app. However, it should be noted that the login screen will not be updated until after logging in the first time.
Bonus! We even made it easy to change the powered by text in the login screen footer. Enjoy these example screenshots from a re-branded event app 🙂
The EE4 QuickBooks Payment Gateway is an on-site payment method for Event Espresso for accepting credit and debit cards and is available to event organizers in the United States.
Using the Intuit QuickBooks Payment Gateway add-on keeps the customer on your site for the entire process, providing a slick checkout process for the user.
The Intuit QuickBooks Payment Gateway add-on provides an advanced payment integration for Event Espresso while providing the security and reliability that comes with using Intuit for payment processing.
Flexible Payment Methods is an off-line payment option for Event Espresso for accepting payments. You can provide your registrants/attendee with specific information on how to pay for their registrations (e.g. call a phone number to pay, pay at the event, etc).
With this payment method, you can provide instructions to your registrants/attendees on how to pay for their registrations. Here are some examples:
Be sure to check out the Payment Methods Pro add-on if you would like to offer certain payment options for some events. For example, you could offer one payment option for one event and a different payment option for all other events. BE sure to check it out!
If you’ve ever had a registrant sign up for the wrong event, then you know how important it can be to be able to move them to a different event; moving registrations between events can be a very time consuming process. With the Attendee Mover add-on for EE4, you can now move attendees to different events with ease.
With the Attendee Mover add-on, it only takes four simple steps to move an attendee to a new event, from the Registrations Overview page, click the “Attendee Mover” icon in the attendee row.

Next, you can choose the event that you would like to move the selected attendee to.

Back in April, we invited our community to participate in a WordPress website hosting survey. This WordPress hosting survey is intended as a public service to the Event Espresso and WordPress communities. Our only interest is to provide these communities more information so they can choose the best WordPress hosting given their needs.
We are pleased to share the (not-statistically-valid) results of our 2016 hosting survey. Of the 115 total results, we only included results for hosts with four or more complete responses, but you are free to look at the full results yourself.

We’d like to take the liberty to share a a few points of interest about these hosts:
Over the past 7 years, we’ve struggled with our own hosting issues. We’ve also seen our customers struggle with low cost/cheap hosting the most; while customers that have spent a little more on WordPress hosting from the start have had much better success with ticket sales and up-time.
With the right hosting environment your ticket sales can really soar. For example, our hosted ticketing service, Event Smart, is able to process over 1,000 registrations per hour on Amazon Web Services hosting. Of course there’s no way we could do that with a shared hosting provider, or even some dedicated servers.
