Description

The TransFirst Transaction Express addon connects Event Espresso to the TSYS TransFirst gateway, processing credit and debit card payments directly on event and ticket registration pages. The extension adds a transaction detail screen in WP-admin for tracking and processing two-step refunds, without charging per-ticket or per-event fees.

Who is it recommended for?

  • Organizers of paid conferences and events already operating with Event Espresso and holding a TSYS TransFirst merchant account.
  • Promoters of courses, workshops, and trainings selling individual tickets via credit or debit card.
  • Associations, schools, and companies that need to centralize event registrations and billing on a single WordPress panel.

Designed for organizers who already have a TSYS TransFirst account and use Event Espresso as an registration platform, the addon resolves the card payment step without adding per-transaction fees on the plugin side.
