Payment Methods Pro


Enable different merchant accounts so you can send payments for certain events to different accounts with online payment services like PayPal, Stripe, and more.

Event organizers use Event Espresso to accept event registrations for classes, workshops, seminars, courses, and more.

With the Payment Methods Pro add-on, you can create different merchant accounts on your website and connect them to specific events.

Here are a few ways that our event organizers use the Payment Methods Pro extension for their events:

– Use a separate PayPal account for each instructor, coach, or teacher for classes & workshops
– Utilize a partner’s Stripe payment account so that the money from cooking demonstrations is sent directly to them
– Therapist A sets up an event where their PayPal account is credited for their event registrations
– Set up a fundraising event on behalf of a nonprofit or charity and connect their Stripe account so people can register and pay straight to their Stripe account

 

Why Payment Methods Pro?

 

Why sell event registrations and tickets with a third party?

Sure, you can do that but is it worth the 4-6.5% service/commission fee for every ticket or registration sold?

Think about event organizers who take a loss on paying these fees.

Other event organizers may be doing that, but things can be different for you. You can gladly say “no thanks” to flushing hundreds or even thousands down the drain in service/commission fees and ticketing fees.

What could your organization do with that money instead?

Use Event Espresso and the Payment Methods Pro extension to create an event registration system from your existing WordPress website.

 

Our event organizers choose Payment Methods Pro so they can connect different merchant accounts to various events.

Frequently asked questions about the Payment Methods Pro extension

 

Is a WordPress website required?
Event Espresso and the Payment Methods Pro extension are both plugins for WordPress so you’ll need a website running WordPress to use them. If you don’t currently have a website, then check out Event Smart where you can create an event registration and ticketing website for receiving online event registrations.

What kind of payment service can I assign to different events?
You can connect different merchants accounts for payment services that we support. Popular payments services with our event organizers are Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, and Braintree. We also support other online payment services.

Can I charge a service or commission fee with the Payment Methods Pro extension?
An additional fee like a service or commission fee cannot be added. The Payment Methods Pro add-on allows you to add different merchant accounts so you can connect them to events that you choose. Event Espresso is not a good fit for projects like event directories or event marketplaces.

Can the Multiple Event Registration extension be used with the Payment Methods Pro extension?
The Payment Methods Pro extension lets you assign a specific payment option to different events. Since the Multiple Event Registration extension introduces a shopping cart for registering for various events at once, it cannot be used with the Payment Methods Pro extension.
