What do you need help with?

At Event Espresso we are not only committed to creating the most versatile online event registration product possible, but we also want to help make our customers’ lives easier. And while we are constantly expanding our compatibility with gateway payment systems, that can still complicate bookkeeping for our customers.
That’s why we are especially pleased to announce that Event Espresso is now fully integrated with the Intuit (QuickBooks) Merchant Services payment gateway, not only furthering the capabilities of our WordPress event registration plugin, but helping our customers save time recording transactions. And we know how important that is:
EventEspresso saves us money, saves our secretary 16-24 hours and looks so professionally done that people ask us how we do it; which we happily tell them, "Event Espresso, and be sure to get the ticketing add-on."
It is often difficult or impossible to connect your gateway and accounting software together. Some gateways have antiquated systems for connecting to the data or forcing you to manually export the data from their website to your software, but Intuit facilitates better connection and can make your business faster – not to mention that it’s easy to activate this new gateway in Event Espresso.

At Event Espresso we’re all about making our customers’ lives easier. We know that your time is precious. That’s why we are excited to announce the stable release of our Infusionsoft integration add-on.
Infusionsoft is touted as, “The only all-in-one sales and marketing software built for small business”. Just check out their latest press releases. With Infusionsoft, you can attract customers, automate marketing, close sales, and even sell online. Infusionsoft is designed to meet the needs of small businesses with less than 25 employees.

Each of us at Event Espresso loves to help other people and businesses be successful. So, as a company, it’s only natural for us to lend a hand of appreciation to those who do the same. Since December of 2011 we have had the privilege of offering discounts to qualifying non-profit organizations. We have issued discounts to all types of organizations, from human rights groups, to economic development organizations and even political parties.
Non-profits all over the world have saved a cumulative of over $20,000 on Event Espresso products in the last year and a half. We are humbly proud that we have been able to do this. With the power of WordPress at it’s foundation, Event Espresso can help any organization, large or small, be successful in their event registration and ticketing.
A few testimonials…
I am in love with your product, I work with many educational institutions that hold classes/events and I will definitely recommend this to all of them, the only time I have seen a system this comprehensive and sophisticated is when an organization I worked with paid a programmer nearly $8,000 for a custom solution, and yet still there are features in your registration system that his didn't have. Thank you so much for your help and patience.
My hope with this whole integration is to be able to show other school districts an affordable and easy solution to these registrations. I cannot believe how much money they are charged for less by other companies. This has the potential to save schools tens of thousands, which is huge right now.
I recently downloaded it to add to a nonprofit site for a Boy Scout troop and the features work wonderfully with what we wanted to accomplish for the site. It allows us to set up calendar, events, and even take payments for trips. At first, I thought that it would be overkill for such a small site, but now I see the possibilities and will definitely be offering Event Espresso to my clients that need an event organization system for their web sites.
If you are a non-profit, and would like to take advantage of our non-profit discount, please complete the Non-profit Discounts application, and we will be in touch as soon as possible. If someone you know could benefit from this offering, please pass the message on to them; and how you can help.

We’re pleased to announce that Event Espresso, the event registration and ticketing plugin for WordPress, is now integrated with Google checkout.

Google Checkout Fees
Google Checkout’s fees are very comparable to other gateways, but we noticed they have graduated fees based on the amount you process with them each month (which PayPal doesn’t offer).
The transaction processing rates you’ll be charged each month will be determined by your sales volume during the prior calendar month. Learn more
| Monthly Sales Through Google Checkout |
Fees Per Transaction |
| Less than $3,000 |
2.9% + $0.30 |
| $3,000 – $9,999.99 |

With its proprietary fraud detection technology, Google Checkout works to protect you from unwarranted chargebacks. In cases where you are found liable for a chargeback, you’ll be charged the full amount of the chargeback plus an additional $10 chargeback fee. Learn more about how Google Checkout protects you from fraud with our Chargeback Resolution Policy and Payment Guarantee Policy.
Google Checkout offers you the ability to partially capture funds and explicitly reauthorize an order if the initial 7-day authorization window expires. You will be charged $0.30 each time you charge an order.

We’d like to officially announce that the Event Espresso JSON API for WordPress events has been officially released. Yes!
The Event Espresso JSON API add-on allows other applications (such as other websites, mobile apps, etc.) to access your Event Espresso data through an JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) application programming interface (API).
Seth Shoultes, Co-Founder of Event Espresso, commented about this new product: “We’re taking another step forward in empowering event mangers to make their events more successful. This API opens the door for any customer or developers to build their own applications that use the registration data contained in Event Espresso. Customers and WordPress developers aren’t tied to the limitations of WordPress or WordPress plugins. We’re really excited to see what people do with this, the sky is the limit.”
The API is available to all Event Espresso customers who have a current support license. They can download the API files from their account page on EventEspresso.com.
The Event Espresso API also works with the iPod touch, iPad and iPhone
mobile apps.
