Eventbrite ticket payments

[Gina]

Looking to buy and use the evenbrite ticket add on, but I read this on your site:
“Note: Due to a limitation with the Eventbrite API, Eventbrite Tickets unfortunately does not support recurring events at this time. Also, Eventbrite has recently further locked down their API to only allow PayPal and Google payments. If these features are important to you, please contact Eventbrite directly and make your voice heard.”

Eventbrite said that they support their standard credit card processing via their API. Just trying to get clarification – I do not want to only offer paypal payments, I want my users to stay on my website and not be redirected.

Can you confirm that the eventbrite add-on does or does not work with Eventbrite’s “standard” credit card processing.

Hi – great question!

The Eventbrite API has been going through a set of changes recently so it may be we need to revise things here. Right now, though, our own Eventbrite Tickets plugin only allows you to specify either PayPal or Google Checkout payment methods.

I do not want to only offer paypal payments, I want my users to stay on my website and not be redirected.

I can definitely understand that 🙂

However, even if credit card payments were facilitated, it’s important to know that when working with Eventbrite, the user will leave your site to book their place and make a payment – that’s how the Eventbrite service works.

Perhaps one of our other ticketing solutions like WooCommerce Tickets would better meet your needs here? In that sort of workflow the user can truly stay on your site and payments can potentially be handled without them being redirected to another service (depending, of course, on the payment modes you accept).

I hope that answers your questions but if I can help with anything else please just let me know 🙂

It’s been a while so I’ll go ahead and close this thread (and it will no longer be monitored). If we can help with anything else, though, of course feel free to open new threads as needed. Thanks!
