Description

The Authorize.net Accept addon connects the checkout of Event Espresso to Authorize.Net’s Accept API, processing event registration charges directly through the gateway and returning transaction status to the participant’s record. The integration keeps payments within the native flow of Event Espresso, recording the transaction ID on the order and updating registration status based on the approval returned by Authorize.Net.

Main Features

    Communicates with Authorize.Net Accept infrastructure to authorize and capture registration charges.
  • Card processing at checkout
    Adds card payment option directly in the final step of event registration.
  • Transaction record on order
    Stores the ID returned by the gateway along with the participant’s record for later audit.
  • Automatic status update

  • Compatibility with multiple events
    Operates as a payment method available for any event configured in Event Espresso.

Benefits of the Authorize.net Accept Gateway

  • Payment without leaving the site
    The participant completes payment within the registration flow, with no external redirects.
  • Simplified reconciliation
    Each registration is linked to the transaction ID in the Authorize.Net dashboard.
  • Less checkout abandonment
    Card payment on the same page reduces interruptions and decreases loss of ongoing registrations.

  • Associations, schools, and U.S. companies selling credit-card registrations.
  • Teams running Event Espresso who need to centralize payments for courses, conferences, and workshops.

Designed for those managing paid events with Event Espresso and maintaining an active Authorize.Net account, this gateway shortens the gap between registration and financial confirmation.
