I have a general question for EE4. What is the best way to handle recurring registrations? Both on the front-end and back-end?
Our site utilizes 2 month sessions and many people register again for the next session. However, when the customer goes to register for the next session, they are again asked for all of their information. Is it possible for it to auto-populate their registration fields from their last registration (more than just name and email as we have some custom fields on our registration forms)? Is that what the WP User Integration plugins does? From what I read, it seems like it might only auto-populate a few fields like name and email.
And is there a way to streamline this process on the backend as well? Staff will often receive calls from parents asking to register their child for the next session, so instead of a user going through the registration on the frontend of the website, staff will be registering the person, often through the WP dashboard. Is it possible to auto-fill this registration process, the backend one?
Lastly, we use Stripe integration for payment, is there anyway to automatically pull up the CC used last time through Stripe and charge it without having to get the CC info again from the client for every session registration?
Thanks in advance for any help! Happy to provide more details if they’re needed, just let me know. Thanks!

Hi there,
Is that what the WP User Integration plugins does? From what I read, it seems like it might only auto-populate a few fields like name and email.
The EE4 User Integration add-on associated your registrations to your user account and syncs up the details between the two. It will pull in the First Name, Last Name and Email address from you user account but not custom questions by default.
However we do have a custom code snippet here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/checkout/mn_wp_user_addon_save_custom_answers_too.php
That will also pull in the last answer provided for custom questions.
Do you users need to log into your site to register?
And is there a way to streamline this process on the backend as well? Staff will often receive calls from parents asking to register their child for the next session, so instead of a user going through the registration on the frontend of the website, staff will be registering the person, often through the WP dashboard. Is it possible to auto-fill this registration process, the backend one?
One option (if your users are required to log in) is to use the User Switching plugin to switch to that user and register onto the front end of the site in the same way the user would.
Through the admin you will need to provide all of the details manually.
Lastly, we use Stripe integration for payment, is there anyway to automatically pull up the CC used last time through Stripe and charge it without having to get the CC info again from the client for every session registration?
Currently not.
The Stripe payment method is setup for single payments, it does not support recurring payments and does not setup the Stripe records in way to allow for this.
