Hi,
I have what might be an unusual situation: We’re a private club that wants people to register for events through Event Espresso that cost money but we want the payment gateway to be skipped entirely. (We bill separately through a different system). In other words, we don’t want “Payment Gateway” to appear anywhere. Online users would choose their tickets and than come to a screen that says something like “Thank you for registering.”
We’re running the full version of EE4.
Thanks!

Hi Wil,
I have two ideas on handling this:
1) You could set the registration to not approved by default through the event options widget in your event editor in your WP dashboard. This will then show a pre-approval messaging which can be customized (e.g. Thank you for your registration. We will contact you to complete your payment.).
2) Repurpose one of the offline payment methods like Invoice or Bank. You can actually rename the payment method name via the payment methods screen along will providing updated help text (information shown in the yellow box).

Thanks, Lorenzo.
Option #1 has the downside of having “payment gateway” still showing up and not taking tickets out of inventory. So I’m liking #2. How do I repurpose the page. eg. changing the “Payment Gateway”, “Finalize Payment” etc. to some other text?

Hi Wil, a team member mentioned one other option, you could use this filter to remove the payment option from registration checkout:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/checkout/jf_ee_remove_payment_step.php
It can be added to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin.

Ah, I like that option but am having a hard time figuring out where to put the code. We aren’t working off of a child theme.
Continued thanks!

You can put the code in a your own little plugin
