How do you setup a registration where payment for Event is not through website

    We have a situation wherein the registration online gathers the info, but payment is sent in separately to the venue.

    How do we set this up so the registrant is not shown “Free Event” but neither is the registrant prompted to pay online?

    Thanks!

      Hi Brandon,

      Currently we don’t have that function within Event Espresso.

      A work-a-round would be to either setup a ‘Free’ event and then hide all instances of prices (or the term ‘Free Event’) using CSS

      or

      Setup a paid event and modify one of the offline payment gateways such as the ‘Check/Money Order Gateway’ to instruct the user to send payments to the venue.

      This will show the ticket price on the event registration page, then set the registration to Pending once they finalise the registration

      Edit detils within the Check gateway – http://take.ms/S5npf

      When they register for the event the gateway will be displayed -http://take.ms/c4aa8

      Once clicked instructions on where to send the payment are shown, the ‘Complete your registration’ link must be clicked – http://take.ms/AUxTy

      Does that help?

        That’s a lot more complicated than I’d hoped. Please add something more streamlined to the features request list.

        We are in the middle of a registration period for a large event (1200 attendees). I’ve had a few claim their registrations did not go through. This appears to be on more than one website / event.

        We’re getting VERY worried that something is amiss with the plugin or the setup we’re using.

            Noticed you have linked to a site in another thread, will run through some registrations to test.

              Unfortunately it appears to be two websites:
              http://FAA.meetingservicesinc.com
              http://NCNG.meetingservicesinc.com

              Thank you for checking into this. Let me know if we are to a point where I need a Support Token.

              I can tell our client is getting very nervous about this.

                Hi Brandon,

                Are you using any caching plugins on your site, and who’s the host?
