Event with no payment gateway

Is it possible to have events that cost money to attend, display them as normal but no payment gateway? An email of the order can go to the user and admin and payment taken offline.

Is this possible and if so what is the best way to bypass the payment gateway.

Thanks

Hi Honoria,

The attendee pre-approval feature will get you most of the way there. It will allow you to capture the registration details and show the prices on the registration form as it normally would, but instead of taking the customer to a page where they select a payment option they are taken to a confirmation screen that has a “Your registration is pending approval message”.

You can enable the attendee pre-approval feature by going to Event Espresso>General Settings and setting this option to Yes: Enable attendee pre-approval feature?
Then in the event editor there will be an option on the lower right side of the screen that will allow the event to be set to use the Pre-approval feature.

The Pending approval message can be customized by editing the pending_approval.php template, then copying it over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates to keep it from being overwritten on an update.
