Hi,

This may be possible. May I ask which payment method(s) does your site use to collect payments?

At a minimum though, the Payment Information step could be customized to include instructions to use an Invoice payment option if their billing address is outside of Canada.

What you could do is set up the Stripe gateway to require the billing address, then add some code so “Canada” is the only option for the Country field. This way only those that have a billing address in Canada can complete the credit card payment form.

Here’s how to do that:
1) You go to Event Espresso > Payment Methods > Stripe
2) Set Integration Type to Stripe Elements
3) Set Collect the user’s billing address? to Yes
4) Optionally add a note in the Description field to include instructions for how to pay if outside of Canada
5) Click the Update button to save the above changes
6) Add the code from this gist to a site-specific plugin on your site:

You can add the code to a functions plugin.

If you have other events where it will be allowed for everyone to pay, you can set up payment methods for specific events by using the Payment Methods Pro add-on. In this case, you could set up a separate payment method (also using Stripe) which can be specifically set for other events.

We’ve put together a step by step guide that explains how to make a functions plugin:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

Adding code to a functions plugin is much like to adding code to a theme’s functions.php file. If you’ve added code to a theme’s functions.php file before, you’ll find the process to be similar. There are a few reasons why we recommend adding the code to a plugin though:
1) WordPress loads plugins before themes, so an Event Espresso customization like this one will load in the correct order. In other words, the code may not load in time to work if loaded from a theme file.
2) If you later want to remove the customization, you simply deactivate the plugin.

If you prefer that Event Espresso staff copy and paste code into a file on your server we can do that if you purchase a priority support token.

The Payment methods pro add-on makes it possible to set up specific payment methods for a specific event. Since the Multi Event Registration add-on makes it possible for two or more different events to be added to the cart, where each event could have a different payment method, the MER add-on cannot be used alongside Payment Methods Pro.

Here’s how you can set up a second Stripe payment method and use that payment method for the events with the Canada limitation:

1) You’ll activate the Payment Methods Pro add-on
2) You go to Event Espresso > Payment Methods > Stripe
3) Click “Activate Another Stripe Payment Method”
4) This will add a new payment method: Stripe 2
5) You’ll set up the new Stripe 2’s settings as follows:
a) set Admin-Only Name to something like “Stripe for Canada only”
b) Click Connect with Stripe and follow the prompts to connect your Stripe account
c) Set “Collect the user’s billing address?” to Yes
d) Set “Available By Default” to No
e) Click the Update button
6) You’ll make one change to the code this line:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/caaacef4587ba906ec414f6f2120f634#file-auto-fill_country_stripe-php-L44
You’ll change:
$custom_js .= 'jQuery("#stripe-payment-intent-and-elements-form-country option:not(:selected)").remove();';
to:
$custom_js .= 'jQuery("#spco-payment-method-info-stripe_onsite-2 #stripe-payment-intent-and-elements-form-country option:not(:selected)").remove();';
This change will make it so the other country options are removed only if the event is using the payment method with the Canada limitation
7) Go to edit the events that need the Canada limitation and you’ll find a box with a heading “Payment Methods”. You’ll select “Stripe for Canada only” there.
