I'm running a cycling festival for Macmillan Cancer Support in September and i've put our website together with Wordpress using the Avada theme. i want to take online payments for entry but haven't got a clue how to do it or where to start.
does anyone else run payments through Wordpress? what's a good/the best/easiest/securest way to do it?
You only want to take payment for one product? Just create the product in PayPal and they will give you some html to insert a button onto your page. Anything else is more complicated.
Sightly more funky? Create the event in Eventbrite and link/embed that event. It’s pretty good.
If you *really* want to spend hours, wooCommerce.

actually, there are about 4 rides that i want to sell entry for. could that be done through Paypal?
i had a look at Eventbrite and it looks like i would post a link on my site for entry on Eventbrite. is that correct? have you used it?
i really don't want to/can't spend hours.
You can create 4 Paypal buttons yes (biz user): https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/web/
Or you could use the build in shop for your theme: https://theme-fusion.com/avada-doc/special-features/woocommerce/
Eventbrite has done all the hard work for you already. Link your Wordpress site to an Eventbrite page you've setup
In fact there is even an Eventbrite 'plugin' for Wordpress

I use this plugin on my site.
