Hi Matt,

What you can do for item 1 is create a new question group called “Shipping information”, then add some new questions specific for capturing shipping info. Then you assign those questions to that question group.

Then, you go in to edit your “product” event and check the box next to the Shipping information question group located in the “Questions for Primary Registrant” box.

Item 2 can be done by means of adding a callback function to a filter hook. e.g.

add_filter(
'FHEE__registration_page_attendee_information__attendee_information_pg',
'my_custom_reg_form_opening'
);

function my_custom_reg_form_opening($text) {
  $text .= '<br>Your additional text goes here.';
  return $text;
}

You’ll find a code example for item 3 here:

Hi Matt,

I’ve successfully added $line_item->desc() in, so I just need the data to be added but all my attempts end in errors.

May I ask where are you adding that and how?

Is there a way to make #3 work in Multi-Registration? Right now it’s not showing up.

When you say it’s not showing up, do you mean at all, or it’s only showing the primary registrant’s details?

You can disregard my first attempt. It was just trying to manually change things instead of using custom functions – which is obviously preferable.

Ah ok, sorry, I misunderstood.

Second, when I send this to PayPal it doesn’t send Primary Registrant or anyone else.

Hmm, strange.

Which Paypal payment method are you using? And it only fails when using MER?

Hi Matt,

MER is an abbreviation for Multi Event Registration.

We advise to use PayPal Express instead of PayPal Standard, because PayPal Standard has been deprecated. You can use your same PayPal account with PayPal Express, and this guide shows how to get the API keys:

The PayPal Express gateway makes use of a method that has filter hooks that allows for sending the primary registrant name along with the item description. Here’s a link to a gist that shows an example of a callback function that makes that happen:

You can add the above to a functions plugin.

Quite likely you’re missing the user capability that’s attached to the PayPal Express gateway. You can refresh the capabilities by going to Event Espresso > Maintenance > Reset, then click the “Reset Event Espresso Capabilities” button.
