Payment Methods

Eventmie Pro comes with PayPal express checkout system and Offline Payment method.

{success} In the case of Free tickets, users can book tickets directly without going through the payment gateway.

  1. Admin - Can only use the Offline Payment method to make bookings for customers.

  2. Organizer - Can use PayPal & Offline Payment method to make bookings for customers.

  3. Customer - Can use PayPal & Offline Payment method to make bookings for themselves.

{primary} We've excluded PayPal for Admin, because, it does not make any sense to pay yourself. 🤑

PayPal

To get started with PayPal, simply-

  1. Go to Admin Panel -> Settings -> Apps Tab.
  2. Add your PayPal account Client Id & Secret.
  3. Add the Callback URL to your PayPal account- <yourwebsite.com>/bookings/paypal/callback.
  4. Then, first, keep the PayPal Production Mode disabled, and make a test booking.
  5. If test booking successful, enable the production mode to start receiving real payments.

  1. Setup PayPal Sandbox for Test payment-

    1-paypal

  1. Go to Admin Panel -> Settings -> Bookings Tab.
  2. Turn on Allow Offline Payment For Organizer & Allow Offline Payment For Customer.

Auto Timezone Conversion from Server-side to Client-side & vice versa.

  • Suppose the default timezone is America/Los_Angeles and a customer visiting the website from India/Kolkata, then the customer will see the date & time according to India/Kolkata timezone by keeping America/Los_Angeles (default selected Timezone) as the central timezone of the website.

{success} Eventmie Pro detects visitor's timezone and makes server-side to client-side DateTime conversions behind the scenes.
