Frequently asked questions about the Vanco payment gateway
Is a WordPress website required?
Event Espresso and the Vanco 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 accept online event registrations through Vanco.
Does my WordPress website need to meet any requirements to use Vanco?
Server Name Indication needs to be enabled on your server. Your web host (WordPress hosting provider) can help you with this.
How can I set up a recurring payment, payment plan, or a subscription through Vanco?
Recurring payments, payment plans, or subscriptions are not currently supported in the Vanco payment gateway. When an attendee pays for their event registrations with Vanco, they pay up front so, you receive your funds right away.
When I refund a payment, does it also refund through Vancopayments.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 Vanco merchant account and process the refund.
Is an SSL certificate needed for Vanco?
A dedicated SSL certificate is recommended if you are accepting payments on your website.
Do I need to be PCI compliant?
Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) is required if you are processing, storing, or transmitting credit card data. Event Espresso recommends using a dedicated SSL certificate on your website.
