Accepting Credit Cards, no API gateway

Due to needing to verify membership status offline, from registrants, we need the ability to take credit card payments, but to process them offline. I did not see this option under the payment options.

Is this possible to do?

Hi Maria,

A payment gateway is required to safely and securely take credit card information online.

While using an API gateway is the safest method for purchasers, there are alternate, and safe ways of taking credit card data; SSL in combination with .htaccess restrictions, and file encryption can be used to ensure payment information remains secure. Let’s be honest, the vast majority of users do not even properly secure their CMS (wordpress). But all that is beside the point.

Is the answer that the software (event espresso) does not allow for credit cards to be entered without a payment gateway?

Event Espresso can be used to capture any information on the registration form, but it stores the information in the database. Storing credit card information this way may not be legal though.

I’m afraid that setting up a custom registration form that captures credit card numbers would not be PCI-compliant, and it does expose people to risk, so we only recommend accepting credit card information online through a payment gateway.
