Event Espresso iPay88 Payment Gateway

Description

The iPay88 Payment Gateway connects Event Espresso checkout to the iPay88 payment processor, enabling registration charges via credit card, direct debit, and local methods from the Asian market directly within the event registration flow. The addon adds a new gateway option in the Event Espresso payment settings panel, redirecting the participant to the secure iPay88 environment and returning to the site with automatic confirmation.

Main Features

• Gateway dedicated to iPay88
  Adds iPay88 as a native option in Event Espresso payment settings.

  Sends the participant to the hosted iPay88 environment during registration checkout.
• Automatic registration confirmation
  Updates the registration status in Event Espresso after successful processor return.

Benefits of iPay88 Payment Gateway

• Reach to Asian audience
  Allows charging participants from Malaysia and the region with payment methods familiar to the local market.
• Reduced checkout abandonment
  Keeps the registration flow continuous from event selection to payment confirmation.
• Fully integrated operation
  Centralizes registrations and charges in the same Event Espresso panel without external tools.
• Compliance with security standards
  Processes sensitive data in the iPay88 environment, keeping the site out of direct PCI scope.

Who Is It For?

• Event organizers in Malaysia and Southeast Asian countries using Event Espresso.
• Companies, schools, and associations that need to accept payments in Asian local currencies and methods.
• Promoters of paid conferences, workshops, and courses who already have an iPay88 merchant account.

The component bridges the gap between Event Espresso’s registration system and iPay88’s payment infrastructure, serving organizers operating in markets where international gateways like Stripe and PayPal do not cover all popular payment methods. The integration provides the administrator with a unified event and finance management flow, within WordPress itself.
