Hello,
I was wondering if support can assist me in identifying which version to use,
Requirements are
– need to be able to create virtual and printable tickets
– need to be able to use mobile app to scan tickets check in / out.
– ability to link it with Paypal.

In addition to these I am also wanting to setup EEx on a stand alone Cpanel hosting server, with the domain being redirected to another cpanel hosting server.
for example domain for client is http://www.domainClient.com, and where I would like the EEx installed on is http://www.domainEE.com with domainClient.com/ticketing redirecting it to the second http://www.domainEE.com.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in Event Espresso.

I think that EE4 would be the better option here.

– need to be able to create virtual and printable tickets

Yes, via the Ticketing add on. Please note though, that printable tickets are for individual registered customers, we do not offer a system to print of bulk tickets for later resale.

– need to be able to use mobile app to scan tickets check in / out.

EE4 Barcode scanner addon uses actual barcode scanners, but you can also use generic mobile apps as well, see here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-use-a-mobile-device-to-scan-ee4-tickets/

– ability to link it with Paypal.

Yes, PayPal (standard) or PayPal Pro are both available.

In addition to these I am also wanting to setup EEx on a stand alone Cpanel hosting server, with the domain being redirected to another cpanel hosting server.

This is the main reason why I suggested EE4 as while EE3 can handle all of the above requests it cannot handle this.

EE4 has an embed feature so you can embed tickets on another site. The user selects their tickets and are then transferred to the site hosting EE to complete the registration.

See here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ticket-selector-embed-code/

There is also an API available but this is more involved and developer focused, and is also still a work in progress so not all functionality may be available – https://eventespresso.com/2015/04/event-espresso-4-rest-api-development-github/
