registration emails sending without payment

Hello,

I’m troubleshooting an intermittent problem where payment will fail but patron still receives a confirmation email. A few have arrived at shows believing they have tickets but don’t. The venue is using EE3 with Authorize.net AIM. This has been happening with <10% of transactions over the last few weeks.

I have:

– Set up full logging in EE3
– Set up mail logging
– Excluded all EE registration and payment pages from cache (venue staff switched hosting without doing this)

I will furnish more data if I get any clues.

Have you encountered this issue before, and do you have any suggestions for what else to try?

Hi there,

If you edit an event this has happened on and then check the ‘Event Options’ section in the sidebar, you’ll see a ‘Default Payment Status for Event:’ option, what is that set to?

To go with that setting….

In Event Espresso -> General Settings, search for ‘Default Payment Status’, what is that value set to?

Thanks for your response. Looking at one event where this has happened:

Default Payment Status: No Change.

General settings > Default Payment Status: “Incomplete (default)”.

I should add, in General Settings > Email, “Send Registration Confirmation Emails Before Payment is Received” is set to “No”.

Hmm, ok, so that’s strange.

Ok, so within Event Espresso does the registration show as Complete or Incomplete?

The registration within EE shows as incomplete. Staff receive a notification as well, with an invoice attached showing amount due, but no indication in the email of a failed purchase.

Ordinarily, when a purchase fails, staff do not receive an email.
