We would like to pay our hosts directly, when we where using paypal standard it was possible to do this using key “paypal_email” but I don’t see an option for adding multiple Paypal Express Accounts?

Essentially the problem is we want to add different paypal express accounts to different events but cant.

Any ideas? thanks.

Hi John,

We have an upcoming add-on that allows you to create multiple ‘instances’ of a payment method each with their own setup.

So for example you can create multiple PayPal Express payment methods, each with their own credentials and then assign the correct PayPal Espresso payment method on each individual event.

It has not been officially released and is currently under testing howevr I can send you a copy to test if you prefer?

You can download the latest version of the Payment Methods Pro Add-on here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/payment-methods-pro-add-on/

Note that we have made some changes to how the events output the payment methods so the documentation on that page will be updated before the add-on is officially released.

If you install that add-on, activate it and go to Event Espresso -> Payment Methods.

Open the PayPal Express payment method and you’ll now see a button to activate another – http://take.ms/mENme

Click that to create another instance, each instance has its own setup.

Then in the event you’ll see something like this – http://take.ms/vqDc5

Select the PM’s that you want active on the event and update.

Now that Event should only show the selected PM’s on the event (double check this to confirm the correct PM is displayed)

Also make sure your running the latest version of EE4 whn using the above add-on.
