How do we allow users to pay by e-transfer.

Hi,

In EE3 you can activate a “Electronic Funds Transfer” payment method where if the user selects that option at checkout, they’ll be presented with instructions on how to initiate a bank transfer.

Hi Josh,

For Electronic Funds Transfer are the following fields mandatory?

Name On Account: The name on Your account
Bank Account #: Your account number
Bank Name: Your bank name
Bank Address: Your bank address

You can check with your bank/financial institution to see what information they require for an incoming electronic funds transfer.

With an e-transfer, only the fields:

– First Name
– Last Name
– Email
– Security Question

Are needed. An EFT asks for:

Electronic Funds Transfer
Title: The title to display for the payment gateway.
Payment Instructions: Specific instructions on how to initiate the payment or terms.
Name On Account: The name on Your account
Bank Account #: Your account number
Bank Name: Your bank name
Bank Address: Your bank address

This is not the same thing.

Can you link me to a ‘e-transfer’ provider?

I don’t think we have that available for EE at this time, but will check.

Hi Tony,

Most banks allow e-transfers to be sent. You’ve never heard of this?

You said for e-transfer, you need this:

With an e-transfer, only the fields:

– First Name
– Last Name
– Email
– Security Question

So, no, I’ve never head of a bank needing only First & Last Name, Email and a security question. to make a payment.

EFT at a minimum usually requires an account number, sort code and possibly name but I think we are referring to difference payment methods, hence my question.

What exactly is an ‘e-transfer’?

Hi,

Event Espresso 3 doesn’t have a direct integration with Interac to do e-Transfers. What you can do is edit the Invoice option and add instructions for how to pay via e-Transfers.

Can you provide instructions for this?

You go to Event Espresso > Payment Gateways, then scroll down to Invoice Payment Settings and click that box. Then click Activate Invoice Payments?, then add the instructions to the Invoice Instructions fields, then click the Update button.
