Duplicate Event Registrants is First Payment Fails

Hello,

I have found that when attendees have finished registering their details, when paying the fee, if card payment fails at the first attempt and then goes through after their second attempt I get the name of the individual twice on the list. The first one is the completed payment and the other is incomplete. Is there a way to get only the completed registrations on the list rather than having to delete the incomplete one?

And advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Brook

Hello Brook,

What payment gateway are you using?

Hi Dean,

I’m using E-Way (an Australian payment gateway).

Hi,

Have you gotten any feedback from your users regarding this? Are they having to go through the registration process again? Are there any errors appearing when they get returned to your site from Eway?

I’ll check with my client and will be in touch tomorrow.

Hi Dean,

There has been no feedback from users.
The issue is just that if a failed the successful payment occurs, their name appears twice on the list. One for complete and another for incomplete.

Hi Brook,

The thing is, it is highly dependant on how it is failing and the actions of the user afterwards. Right now when I test he payment gateway and the account fails it goes back to the thankyou page from where I can retry the payment. So no duplicate attendee is created.

If however there is an error or some other issue that is forcing the client to start again, it could explain the duplication.

We need more information on this, as even with a test gateway I dont think we can get to the root of the problem easily.

What is the timestamp difference between the complete and incomplete attendee? Which comes first or are they at the same time? (you can see this in the Attendee Overview for the events).
