I will be hosting multiple events for associated groups, but each group wants to have payments going to them from the system.
So, optimally, I would like to be able to create an event for group A where payments go to Group A’s accounts, create an event for group B where payments go to Group B’s accounts, etc.
As it stands right now, I would need someone to manage all these event payments and distribute payments to all the groups.
Can this be done?

In version 4, you can do something like that with PayPal accounts. You can use a meta key & then add this code snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/checkout/jf_ee_paypal_account_meta_key_override.php
However, there are some restrictions. Additional fees can’t be added and this is not compatible with the Multiple Event Registration add-on. This means that a registrant would only be able to register for one event at a time.

Interesting. Any way that this can become a standard option with EE4? The ability to assign a payment method to an event sounds relatively straight forward.
I get that being able to do multi-event processing probably will not work if events have multiple accounts, but I am not quite sure why additional fees cannot be added.
I guess I am not understanding the technical issues with this, but it really can’t be that hard to make as an option.

Hello,
Event Espresso isn’t a good fit for an event marketplace site (e.g. create your own ticket master or your own eventbrite).
Some of the features that you asked about like charging a service fee and then routing to an individual merchant account would be something that would be needed for an event marketplace.

I do not want to charge a service fee and route to another account.
I want to be able to have multiple paypal accounts available and assign one of them to a specific event. This way I can manage my district lodge events from one instance of EE and have their money routed to the proper accounts automatically.
Seems to me it is a simple as a table entry holding the details.
But, oh well. It is your software and I just use it. I will adjust accordingly.
Thanks for the input and advise all!
Regards,
R

You can also use the Payment methods pro add-on to accomplish what you’re after:
