It would be also nice to implement automatic payment notifications with receipt for all participants

An example template from a real event:

Hi,

Today I have a few minutes to hack this together. I cannot attach tex files for some reason but I have them in my repo: https://github.com/vgvassilev/chep_docs/tree/master/payment_receipt

The idea is simple. We have a template and we have a param.tex file which contains a few variables. You can compile with pdflatex receipt_template.tex.

I have one question: is there some xml/json file that contains "all" registration data (including information about payments) if I am an event manager? This would make the generation of receipts for us almost automatic.

You can export to CSV/XML after enabling all columns. We only export the columns that are displayed in the table.

I am afraid that would not suffice, we are lacking information such as the "extra fees" if the person paid by credit card. People want to get reimbursed not for the X euros conference fee but X + Y, where Y is the overall transactions fees (if they paid by card or were charged for any other reason).

I'm not sure whether we want to do this with TeX or instead Reportlab. Generating and compiling TeX is fine for stuff that has to look like TeX (e.g. abstracts) but not so convenient for the rest.

Either way, feel free to use it/not use it ;)

I will solve my problem if I can get access to xml containing people's payment details.

https://weasyprint.org looks like a decent option - it uses HTML/CSS to generate a PDF, so it would even be possible to allow people to upload their own HTML template.

Plot twist: It requires Python 3, so it'd be something for Indico 3.0...
