Multiple Paypal accounts

Is there a way to use more than one Paypal account for events running at the same time so that some of the events payments will go to one Paypal account and other events to another Paypal account?

Thank you!

Hi there Brenda,

Unfortunately this is not an option at this time. Payments via PayPal will go to the account that is specified in the payment settings page for Event Espresso.

Best

Hi Lorenzo,

Is there a way to only accept check/money order for certain events while keeping the paypal option in general settings? What we have is 8 events that we need to accept only checks, but other events where we will accept checks and paypal. Any options you can think of would help…thanks!

Hi,

Sorry to correct Lorenzo, but there is a relatively unknown feature for the PayPal gateway that can enable using a different PayPal account per event.

You need to add an Event Meta field on the event that needs to use a PayPal account other than what is specified in the Payment Settings.

It’s key will be paypal_email and the value will be the email address for the PayPal account.

Documentaion – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/payment-settings/#PayPal (the Per Event Settings bit)

Regarding the cheque/money order gateways, that is a little bit harder.

The only way I can think of doing that would be to customise the plugin templates.

I would add CSS to hide the cheque/money order gateway by default and then edit the templates so that if the event ID (or better yet category) is shown, then it will add a CSS class to the gateway to display it.

In short you’re going to need a developer to modify the templates to make that work.

We have a list of recommended ones here – https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/
