I have a customer who desires to offer payment plans for her events. These are the current rules they wants to enforce:
Saturday & Sunday: Two Payment Options
Option 1: Pay In Full – $600 – ON SALE NOW for $405 per student
Option 2: Flex Pay* – $600 — ON SALE NOW for $480 per student
*Flex Pay: Three (3) Installments of $160.00 invoiced seperately to be paid no later than:
1st Payment Deadline: November 11, 2022
2nd Payment Deadline: December 11, 2022
Final Payment Deadline: January 20, 2023
To use Flex Pay, Select the
Flex Pay Policy: 100% refund prior to November 30, 2022. 50% refund prior to December 9th. No refunds after December 9. Failure to pay by payment deadline day results in automatic forfeiture of the ticket and the aforementioned refund policy will be automatically applied based on date of non payment.

I attempted to solve this problem using Flexible Payments, but if Flexible Payments is envoked and no payment is made, then the ticket is not reserved and marked as pending payment. I assume I could solve the problem by making a Flex Pay Payment Ticket for $160 and then billing for the other two payments in the future. Additonally, there is no way to stop someone from selecting the cheaper pay now ticket and then selecting Flex Pay in checkout. Do you have any suggestions to best implement a payment plan?

Hi there,
Officially, Event Espresso does not currently support payment plans, partial payments, etc
I attempted to solve this problem using Flexible Payments, but if Flexible Payments is envoked and no payment is made, then the ticket is not reserved and marked as pending payment.
The simplest solution for this is to set the ‘Default Registration Status’ (DRS for short) option within your events to be ‘Approved’.
Approved registrations are those that count towards your sold values and using a DRS of Approved means that any registrations that finalize will be marked Approved.
Does that help you here?
Additonally, there is no way to stop someone from selecting the cheaper pay now ticket and then selecting Flex Pay in checkout. Do you have any suggestions to best implement a payment plan?
Whilst I don’t have an example for your specific setup, the payment methods are run through a filter so you can change them on the fly. This snippet loops over the selected tickets in the cart and checks for the string ‘check’, if any are find it will only display the check payment method:

You could do something similar looking for ‘flex’.
Does that work for you?
