Here is a process that we would like to implement on a site that utilizes Event Espresso. Does anyone have any insight on how to achieve the following steps:
User fills out application form – $50 must be paid
Admin reviews / accept or deny
If Denied – $50 is refunded (can be a manual process)
If Accepted – $200 balance due before user has login access.
Discount codes / student rate feature would be a bonus
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Adam,
In theory it is possible, but I think it would become a bit of an admin nightmare.
The way I see it working would be to have 2 events, but only one is shown on the front of the site (by using the EVENT_LIST shortcode and categories).
The user registers and pays (note, pre-approval wont work here as you require payment so a custom email and possibly thank you message would be needed).
The admin rejects – refunds manually.
The admin accepts and transfers the user to the other event via the Attendee Re-assignment Addon (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/attendee-re-assignment-addon/)
The user is then emailed asking them to pay.
Using a function such as this https://gist.github.com/sethshoultes/5574217) the user can be added as a WP user. The function would have to be modified to only fire from specific event registrations (the $200 one).
Discounts and rates could still be applied to the secondary $200 event.

Thanks, Dean.
I am realizing there is probably no way to automate the entire process. But I would like to try and automate 1 or 2 steps of it.
The problem I am having now is, I have the application form, the user submits, and then instantly becomes a wp user (using the WP User add on). No admin approval or payment. If I could correct just this step, that would be great. The rest could be manual.
Thanks again.

You probably need to integrate something like the S2 member plugin. When the user is created, they would need to get assigned S2 level 1 (free membership level), then the admin would need to look at their payment and reassign the user to S2 level 2. Then use our S2 member integration add-on to restrict the member discount to level 2 and higher, and to restrict the pages that are level 2 and higher.

Thanks, Sidney. I will review the S2 plugin.
