Hi
We currently have one payment option only: Stripe. This has worked really well but now for one Event only we want to have the ‘Bank’ payment as the only option. Yet we still need to keep the Stripe payment option open for other Events and those Events must NOT show the ‘Bank’ payment option.
Is this possible please, if so can you explain what we need to do, thank you.

This is our Event

Hi there,

You can set Event Espresso to use one payment option for one event only by installing the Payment Methods Pro add-on, then follow the guide in its read me file:

Hi
Thanks for this. I have downloaded and activated the plugin, added the custom field as directed but when I ‘Update’ the Event Page it does not save the Custom Field; it just clears it and leaves an empty Custom Field? Can you advise please?

Just to confirm, are you adding the include_payment_method custom field, by first doing ‘Enter new’ – http://take.ms/obCiU

Inputting ‘include_payment_method’ for the key and likely ‘Bank Draft’ for the value, then clicking ‘Add Custom Field’ – http://take.ms/O2hku

It should then look like this – http://take.ms/seXPy

Then you update the event.

(Custom fields are separate from the ‘Update’ feature, so you have to manually add them in, then update)

Yes, that is exactly what I do and it looks like your screenshots until I ‘Update’ the Event and then when I look at the Custom Fields box again it shows no Custom Field has been added?

Hello,

That can be done but you’ll need to pick the payment methods for each event. If you already have the payments methods pro add-on (9102), then see this video:

http://cl.ly/301Z2T0j023Z/Screen%20Recording%202016-05-27%20at%2009.49%20AM.mov

In the example above, bank is enabled and set as event specific and so is invoice.

Then I go to the test event and enable the bank payment option through the event editor and save changes. When I start a registration with that test event, then you’ll see that only the bank payment option appears.

You’ll want to do something similar and pick the payment options that should be available for each event via the event editor and then save changes.

Thanks, I think that has now got it to work.
