Frequently asked questions about the PayPal Express Checkout Smart Payment Buttons payment gateway
Is a WordPress website required?
Event Espresso and the PayPal Express Checkout Smart Payment Buttons payment gateway 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 get an events registration and ticketing website with Venmo.
How is this extension different than PayPal Express that is included with Event Espresso?
PayPal Express that is included with Event Espresso uses the Classic NVP/SOAP API and you can use it to accept credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal Funds. The PayPal Express Checkout Smart Payment Buttons extension uses a different API which allows payments with credit cards, debit cards, PayPal funds, plus Venmo, and even PayPal Credit so your attendees have more choices on how to pay for their event registrations.
How can I set up a recurring payment, payment plan, or a subscription through PayPal Express Checkout Smart Payment Buttons?
Recurring payments, payment plans, or subscriptions are not currently supported in the PayPal Express Checkout Smart Payment Buttons payment gateway. When an attendee pays for their event registration with PayPal Express Checkout Smart Payment Buttons, they pay up front so, you receive your funds right away.
When I refund a payment, does it also refund through PayPal.com?
Refunds in Event Espresso 4 are currently a two-step process. First, apply the refund through the transaction details screen of Event Espresso in your WP-admin (WP dashboard). Then log in to your PayPal merchant account and process the refund.
When will Venmo appear?
Venmo will appear on mobile devices when an attendee has the Venmo mobile app installed and when merchant payments are enabled in the app. An attendee can enable merchant payments through the Venmo app –> Settings –> Connect Browsers and then connect the browser.
Is an SSL certificate needed for PayPal Express?
A dedicated SSL certificate is recommended if you are accepting payments on your website.
Do I need to be PCI compliant?
