Accept payments by BACS

[jezzerisin]

I have both Paypal and BACS enabled in my Woocommerce Checkout.
I sell fairly highly priced tickets, so would encourage my clients to pay direct, and then have the tickets released to them when the funds arrive.
Clearly via Paypal there’s not the same issue.
I see that BACS doesn’t show on the Checkout, only Paypal.
Is there any way round this, or do I just have to pay Paypal their HUGE commission!?
Thanks,
Jeremt

Hi Jeremt,

Thanks for reaching out! I definitely understand where you’re coming from in wanting to use BACS over Paypal.

Payment processing is handled entirely within WooCommerce, so I would recommend taking a look at this article, which has some info on getting the BACS payment option set up. If you have everything configured correctly and are still not seeing this option on the checkout page, the next step would be to test for conflicts with your theme and other plugins. We have instructions on how to do this here, but in this case you would want to disable all other plugins besides WooCommerce. I see that you have several other WooCommerce add-ons enabled on your site, so it could be that one of those is overriding/conflicting with this functionality.

If you would prefer not to do this on your live site, WP Staging will let you create a quick copy of your live site that you can use for testing.

Regarding issuing tickets once the funds have been transferred, you can control when tickets are generated based on the WooCoomerce order status under Events > Settings > Tickets > WooCommerce Support. If you are accepting BACS payments, then the order status will be set to “On Hold” by default, and then you will need to change it manually once the payment has cleared.

The following articles should also be helpful in getting up and running with Event Tickets Plus:

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer
