Hello, I have been looking to see if EE4 can have some events paying to a different paypal account. Is this possible? previous forums said it wasn’t yet but that was a good year ago. Thanks in advance. |
Hi Declan, In Event Espresso 4, you can also use a meta key & then add this code snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/): — |

Thank you |
Hi Declan, Do you need further assistance with this or shall I mark the thread resolved? |
|
|
Hi Thanks |
Sure 🙂 We generally will not close threads unless its clear the thread is resolved although they will close automatically if no reply is made within 2 weeks. Just let us know if you have any problems. |

|
ok… stupid question… where do you put the new paypal id??? |
Its within the post_meta for the event so within ‘Custom Fields’ – http://take.ms/4v5zh |
|

Thanks… doesn’t appear to be working!… below is the code, I’ve added to the functions file. First I added the code beneath the first lot of code and started it with “<?php” but the tried it within the php brackets…
Thanks! |
Ah, I know why from your other thread. Your using MER and unfortunately that code isn’t compatible with MER. Currently with MER in the mix there isn’t an option to use multiple PayPal accounts. |
|
|
that’ll explain it… whats MER? I’ve just tried the plugin options ect to no avail. Thanks |
|
do you have a timescale of when the feature will be available? |
Apologies, I’m so used to using the shorthand version. MER is the Multi Event Registration Add-on
Oh to disabled ‘MER’? Sorry 🙂 With MER you have multiple events that can all have individual paypal_id’s that all need to go through a single transaction, there would be no way to know which paypal ID to use so that does will not work. |
|
|
Sorry I meant I tried the plugin option before I read your comment! I read on multiple events it’ll use the default PayPal? Is that not the case then, it’s not possible to have a different PayPal account should they only be booking the one event? |
Is that from this comment within the code:
Even when you register onto a single event the Multi Event Registration Add-on is still active and so the default PayPal ID is used. The code checks if the Add-on is active or not, if its active it does nothing, if its not it checks the current event for the meta value and uses that. Currently with the Multi Event Registration Add-on active you can not use ‘per event’ PayPal ID’s. |
|
|
Ah :/ is there an estimate of the timescale? |
It turns out we’re not planning on making a multiple events registration within one transaction to be split between multiple payment accounts. If you need multiple payment accounts, they’ll need to be separate transactions, which is how Event Espresso works without Multi Event Registration activated. |

|
oh ok. |
Hello, were there any other questions that we could answer for you regarding using multiple PayPal.com accounts? Thanks — |
