Test

1. As an example, we have created an event which has the offline payment type enabled. Upon registration, the user is redirected to an enchripted page, where he can enter the credit card details.
2. The user is asked to enter the credit card information for later references. Note that the payment is not processed once the registration form is submitted.
3. The transaction details can be accessed via the "Subscriptions" tab >> Details.
4. The credit card details are encrypted, so you can safely store them for offline processing.
