Additional event payment options

[YeruBonCenter]

Just wondering if square.com will be used as an option when my customers register. I really like it and it's much easier on our side and less expensive. Let me know if this will ever be an option. thank you

The recent changes and restrictions to Events PayPal payment option are unacceptable. The payment options should be expanded to include the ability to set links off to any PayPal (paypal.me), Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, and similar services. Also, the admin should be able to edit the registration Payment Type and Order Amount. Frankly, I find Constant Contact's money grab on payment fees to be beyond the pale especially considering the high plan pricing.

Since you have changed how we use Paypal and eCheck  (at a lesser %) - we are back to having folks mail in their money before the event.  However, when it is mandatory to click a box for echeck,  paypal, pay at door - we need  one that says Other, or follow note directions. I have had several that think they can pay at the door - and we do not want  that. Thank you.

We have been using Paypal with the Constant Contact events management and we have had a few cases in the past where they did not allow credit card payments if the person did not have a Paypal account. These users did not want to create a Paypal account. With the recent Paypal fiasco of actually putting into their published user agreement the requirement that they will take out 2500 dollars directly from a user account for spreading disinformation, that they determine is disinformation by whatever means, many users now are qutting Paypal and we anticipate an uptick of users who will no longer be able to pay for our services because they do not have a Paypal account.

We are a nonprofit and chose them because of their decreased fees for nonprofits, however, Stripe has the same discount schedule and you don't need an account to pay. We anticipate that only allowing Paypal or your Wepay will not be sustainable for us in the long term so if you don't allow Stripe integration, we will have to search for a new platform. And, since we chose Constant Contact events in order to have contacts and events using the same database without having to upload/download/integrate contacts in the backend, we may have to move our marketing contacts as well. We have been with you a long time, but we were starting to look before Paypal's change because of the problems; this has now accelerated the hunt.

We are working on an updated event experience in a more advanced tool. While we do not have an update or timeline to share or can guarantee any kind of commitment on how we will be handling event payments, we hope this indicates some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration while we are building out this tool.

Is it possible to PLEASE add EFT (electronic funds transfer) as a payment option for events? All of my customers prefer that payment method, as do I. NOBODY uses checks anymore! Offering only credit card and PayPal, both of which charge fees is unreasonable (and expensive!). Many banks offer a number of free EFT transactions per month, which is why my customers request it. Even adding an "other" option would be very helpful. At the moment the only option that works is "At door", which is confusing for online events!

Our non profit doesn't use PayPal nor the other credit card option. We use square or authorize.net for payments and it would be great to see that as an option for the events function! 

Thanks!

Here in Canada, most people use EFT as a payment method for most purchases. Cheques are basically obsolete, so offering is as an option is useless. If this isn't possible, at least have an "other" option that allows us to type in alternate payment instructions.
