Altering PayPal settings per event

[Ronya Banks]

Hi Stephen,

I saw in one of your forum responses (to this question: http://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/multiple-logins/ ) that you had developed an unsupported extension that allows PayPal settings to be changed per event. Would it be possible for me to get a copy of that?

The issue is that my client would like to use a different PayPal account from the default account for a certain category of event. I’ve looked at your EO code as well as snippets you’ve provided to add a gateway, but it seems that adding a second PayPal account would be fairly complex.

One other thing the client requested was a donation button on the booking form. The client is a non-profit that sells tickets to events but would like to give people the option to add an additional donation to the total. From my googling, it doesn’t look like this is possible even on PayPal’s end, in terms of processing the payment. Would you have any knowledge about this?

Thanks for your help! Suzanne (web developer for Ronya Banks)

Hi Ronya,

Yes, I’ll be in touch with that plug-in.

Regarding the optional donation, that would be possible. You can add a field using the form customiser or the form API, to ask for an amount and use that to alter the booking total. You can alter the booking total via the eventorganiser_get_booking_meta_booking_amount filter (see includes/bookings.php) and the eo_get_booking_meta() function. Also for PayPal you’d need to alter the PayPal cart by adding the extra “item”. You can do this via the eventorganiser_pre_gateway_checkout_paypal filter (see this related thread http://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/add-on-mechandize/). If you’d to ‘outsource’ the development of this, feel free to get in touch via this form for a quote.

Thank you, Stephen! I’ve been working with Event Organiser for a couple of years now, and your help has always been phenomenal.

I’ll let you know if I’m unable to take care of this myself and need to outsource.

Much appreciated!

I’m almost a year late to the party but I have a non-profit client that is asking for the exact same thing. Most events will go to one Paypal account but there are a handful or so events that will now need to be directed to a separate Paypal account. Up until now, they’ve been able to switch the settings as needed but schedules have now aligned where they now have events occurring close together and need to sell tickets to these events at the same time.

I figured I would create a helper plugin to handle this use case. It just occurred to me that I couldn’t be the only person out there with this situation so I thought I’d bring it up as a suggestion.

I would like event organisers to be able to collect the ticket payments through Paypal to their own Paypal account. I thought this would have been a feature when I bought the full addon pack last week.

Basically I would like to be able to have a different Paypal account for each event with tickets. I see from the messages above that there was a plugin available back in January 2015.

Is that still available please? Or have I missed it somewhere.

Thanks for the help
