Is there a way to do a dummy or test registration? So that I can walk through the whole process without actually registering or paying?

Hello Irene,

There really isn’t an ideal way to do this while you have live registrations open.

The ideal way to test is with a testing account with your merchant provider. You would enter those credentials in the gateway settings, then step through the registration process, through to payment without your card being charged.

You could turn on Maintenance Mode in Event Espresso, then change the payment settings to test credential, do your test, then set it back to normal.

I have (hopefully) set up a testing account with my merchant provider. I have turned on the maintenance mode in EE. I am a site administrator and should have access to run a test registration. However I do not. The maintenance message shows up!!!

is it possible for me to do a dummy registration by moving to draft status instead of maintenance mode?

Hi Irene, maintenance mode prevents full functionality in Event Espresso.

You’ll need to turn that off if you are trying to test out Event Espresso in terms of registering on the front-end of your site.

Good morning. Thanks for your speedy response. Your response Lorenzo (appears to ) contradict an earlier response from Jonathan… Please advise.

Hi Irene,

Maintenance mode through Event Espresso locks down certain areas of Event Espresso. I wasn’t sure if you were aware so I wanted to bring that to your attention.
