Please contact our Sales team at Sales@bigmarker.com or your Custom Success Manger to learn more.  ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/q4WminmxIwdNdsN0khWHMBqz4fC5f2hDdnCvPbbyKt5pM07dN6h6kM4otQFBIkkOIlXpqSOt6Wdl7ZgKVjvY9-RV88aiGAjat7wqwvZli3om7u9pmHgUZpqDjDjYq74pm10x1PHC1f9sk21bYQ3aWs0) We’ve added PayPal and external payment processors to our list of payment processors (in addition to our own platform, Authorize.net and Stripe), so your registrants can choose one that best fits their financial needs.  Virtual Event attendees will go through the same process when registering for your event as normal, with the option of selecting PayPal or an external payment processor to pay for a ticket or subscription pass. When selecting their payment option, they will be redirected to their site to continue purchasing their ticket. After moving forward on the site, they will be redirected to BigMarker to continue their check-in process for your Virtual Event.  We've recently added the ability to manage external payments with [Xero](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/how-to-connect-your-event-with-xero?hsLang=en). Click here to learn more. For external payment types, you can verify their payment on the Registrants' backend. If declined, they will immediately lose access if payment is not verified by you or an event host. Like our payment processors, analytics are gathered and will be in the downloadable reports available for your events.  To find these settings, navigate to your event admin under **Registration &** **Passes**, then,  **Settings**. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202025-06-24%20at%2011-55-19%20AM-png.png?width=600&height=336&name=Screen%20Shot%202025-06-24%20at%2011-55-19%20AM-png.png) Scroll down until you find the **External Payment** section and fill in your desired information. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202025-06-24%20at%2011-56-44%20AM-png.png?width=600&height=453&name=Screen%20Shot%202025-06-24%20at%2011-56-44%20AM-png.png) PayPal also has channel-level settings in the **Treasury** section.  **![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202025-06-24%20at%2011-58-25%20AM-png.png?width=600&height=458&name=Screen%20Shot%202025-06-24%20at%2011-58-25%20AM-png.png)**   -
