How to setup event registration and paypal payment?

Question

We have events and we take registrations for them. Entity Registration module is installed for that purpose and it's working great. Now, since those events are paid events, we want to implement PayPal payment method as well.

The problem is we need to combine the registration process and the paypal payment into one process. That said, user should click the button Register & pay and that should do 2 things:

1. Register the user for the event (this is already working as a part of Entity Reg module)

2. Redirect the user to PayPal payment gateway

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Answer 1

You should use Registration Commerce module. This module acts as a integration point between entity registration and drupal commerce enabling you to implement paid registration using entity register. Also use Commerce paypal for paypal integration with drupal commerce.

Answer 2

I think the Commerce Paypal IPN Rules integration module should fit your requirements. Here is a quote about it (from the module's project page):

... comes to give modular capabilities for Paypal IPN handling.

Combined with Drupal Commerce, Rules and the Paypal payment method, using this module you will be able to change your site workflow and logic.

As an example, while the "Commerce subscription products PayPal" integrates with the IPN to start/stop user subscription, but depends on specific user fields and content types, in this module you will be able to achieve the same, but for your own selected fields, content types, etc.
