When we apply a payment to a registration, is there a way to change the ‘Method of Payment’ list, and what are the implications? I need to reduce the list to, initially, the following options.

Cash
Cash Deposit
Credit Card
EFT

Hi there,

Go to Event Espresso -> Payment methods.

There you will find a list of payment methods available for your site. Any payment method that has a checkmark for the ‘Admin Registration Page’ will show within that dropdown – http://take.ms/9mNNA

If you uncheck that option for the payment methods you don’t want shown in the list your users can still select them, but the admin can not.

Is that what you are looking for?

I’d looked at those options but it didn’t seem to reflect the options in the list I want to change. We only have Bank and Invoice enabled. The list I want to change includes ‘PayPal, eCheck, Invoice, etc’ but we haven’t enabled the PayPal Standard payment method. However, if I change the Admin-Only Description for the Bank Payment Method, the list I am referring to changes. So your answer seems somewhat helpfull but it doesn’t seem to be the whole story.

Ah ok, I see what you mean.

The payment methods that are showing in that list also include the default ‘Admin only’ payment methods which you can not easily remove without loading your own template for the modal and filtering the current payment methods to exclude the ones you don’t want. The payment methods would still be activate you’d just skip displaying them.

Is there anyway to alter the name of the admin-only options.

EE doesn’t currently show the admin only payment methods within core, however I have previously created a snippet that pulls in all payment methods and displays them within Event Espresso -> Payment methods:

https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/73442872b283f9fc46be

That plugin is intended to allow you to alter the text for any of the payment methods but imo should only be used to alter the text and then de-activated. The plugin itself should not cause problems, however it forces EE to display sections that you would not normally have access to.

Note the above should be considered a work around, not all of the features for all payment methods will work. De-activating admin only payment methods will not remove the payment method from the list and you may not be able to re-activate the PM if you try (which could cause further problems down the line).

So using the plugin I am safe to alter the names but not deactivate them? I just want to check that I 100% know what you are saying.

Yes.

Also the dropdown menu you are referring to uses the ‘Admin Description’ field if set, if that’s not set it uses the Admin-only name.
