Can I get my money back?

Hello!
I bought the business package of EventEspresso, but I regreat it now, since none of the reasons why I bought it work. I can´t accept payments because the payment page dissapears after 5 secs, the registrations are not automatically added to my mailchimp list, and it takes ages to find any information or guide to troublehsooting/how-to on this support-page I don´t want to use more time on this as I already have. Is there any way I can cancel my account and get my money back. I bought a one year package about a week ago. http://www.intundra.com/workshops-2/

Hi Elin,

We can help you investigate any of the technical issues you’re experiencing.

How many payment gateways do you have activated? The reason your page is “disappearing after 5 seconds” is because you’re using PayPal. The instructions on the payment page say: “If you are not automatically redirected to the payment website within 5 seconds…Click Here”. Then the page redirects properly to PayPal. Here is a video of how it works for me: http://www.screencast.com/t/4ViLvmNigS

Regarding MailChimp take a look at this recent thread: https://eventespresso.com/topic/mailchimp-integration-problem/

We do have a general no refund policy: https://eventespresso.com/support/terms-conditions/ and that question is best discussed with the sales department: https://eventespresso.com/contact/

Hello!
I have only 3 methods of payment activated. Paypal, Invoice or electronic transfer. When I deactivate paypal the other payment methods work, but why can´t I have paypal as an option?

But it even shows “pay by credit card” which I have not setup. It doesnt work to pay by credit card anyway…

You can use the paypal option with the others if you turn off the “Bypass Payment Overview Page” option in the EE paypal settings.

Ok, I did that, and now it lets you choose paypal before it goes blank. So the payment page doesnt dissappear, but it does not open paypal I choose to pay via paypal… I have enabled my IPN.
Do you know whats wrong?

It looks to me that the reason it’s not opening up PayPal is the entire web page is wrapped in an iframe, which is wrapped in another iframe. Here is a screenshot of the payment page’s source:

I did some checking on this and it appears that PayPal requires the PayPal URL to be shown in the address bar:

Option #1 would be to try the above linked modification to make sure the link to PayPal works when leaving the iframe

Option #2 would be to disable the WP theme/plugin feature that creates the iframe for the pages you want people to register for events from.

If I want to do option #1, how do I do that? I can´t find where to add that code from your link.
This is so strange, cause I have a shop on my page as you see, and paypal works smoothly in my shop. I tried deactivating the shop, but it didn´t help.

Hi Elin,

One way to add the custom script is by adding it to the head of the document via a function. In your theme’s functions.php:

function cigmmb_custom_js() {
    echo '<script type="text/javascript">if (top.location!= self.location) { top.location = self.location.href; }
</script>';
}

global $this_is_a_reg_page;
if ( $this_is_a_reg_page ) {
     add_action('wp_head', 'cigmmb_custom_js');
}
