To give your audience more payment options, you can activate multiple payment methods at the same time. However, if you are offering just one payment option, then we recommend that you set that one payment method to be selected by default during registration checkout. That will simplify the check out process for your attendees.

PMD Order – The value (number) can be used to sort or arrange this payment option. A lower value means that it should appear first during registration checkout.

Usage

The Bank Draft payment method will provide your registrants/attendees with information on how to make a bank transfer to pay for their event registration.

This is an onsite payment option which means that attendees/registrants will not leave your site. This is a payment method so no actual funds will be transferred via this payment option.

Troubleshooting

I configured Bank Draft and payments are not being processed. Can you help?
This payment method does not process or transfer actual funds (monies). You’ll need to provide instructions on how an attendee/registrant can pay (e.g. transfer funds to this bank account). This can be done by using the Payment Instructions field on the Bank Draft payment method settings.

When I refund a payment, does it also refund a payment automatically?
Refunds in Event Espresso 4 are currently a two step process. First, apply the refund through the transactional details screen of Event Espresso in your WP-admin (WP dashboard). Then process a refund through the payment option that was used. For example, if an attendee/registrant paid via money order, then you would need to refund their payment through a new check or new money order.

How can I setup a recurring payment or subscription through Bank Draft?
Recurring or subscription payments are not currently supported through the Bank Draft payment method.
