Registrant whose bill will be paid by their institutions write to the payer name shell their institute name but the Event Espresso system don´t put the payer name to the invoice. Instead the invoice shows that the registrant is payer and the institutes don´t accept it. This problem appeared after I changed the event dates on 6 days ago and the institutes wrote me about this issue. Before I didn´t have this issue. Can you help me to fix this issue?

Hi there,

May I ask, how are you collecting the ‘payer name’ within Event Espresso?

Hi,
Jes ofcourse. The registration link: https://nsb2020.org/nsb2020-conference-registration/1/
When you choose one ticket then you will see how we are collecting payers information.

Ok, so your using question questions on the primary registrant, which means you must have edited the Invoice template to use those values, correct?

Did you make those changes to a custom template or the ‘global’/default Invoice template?

If you created a custom template, is that templated selected on the event?

I changed the invoice information from Settings-Payment Methods-Invoice

That’s not where you would have set the Invoice to use the custom questions.

Where exactly do you want the ‘Payer’ information to be displayed?

I’m guessing the ‘Bill To’ section on the Invoice?

Go to Event Espresso -> Messages -> Default message templates -> Invoice -> Edit Purchaser.

What do you see in the bill to section under ‘Main content’?

Thank you. I found the place where I can change the payer information in invoice. I tried different […] but I don´t find the right code for payer name. Where can I find it?

You’ll want to use the [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*] shortcode.

The format for that shortcode is [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*{question-text}]

So for example, your “Payer’s Name” quesiton would need:

[PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*Payer's Name]

(Note the question text you pass to the shortcode after the * must match the question text of the question you want to pull exactly, a question text of ‘Do yOu LiKe CheEse?’ would need [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*Do yOu LiKe CheEse?])

Does that help?
