Setting up event registration in Elvanto allows you to manage tickets, discount codes, and additional settings for a seamless registration process. This guide will walk you through setting up and enabling registration for your event.

Elvanto Tip

When using Forms for your event please note you are only able to connect one form to one event at a time.

Steps to Set Up Event Registration

  1. Access Registration Settings:

    • When editing an event, navigate to the ‘Registration’ tab.
    • Enable registration and set up your event details.
  2. Tickets:

    • Add multiple tickets to your event.
    • Set individual price points (zero for free events) and registration limits.
    • For repeating events, choose to charge for each occurrence or the entire event.
    • Set an overall ticket limit for the event.
    • Click the cog icon for more settings like descriptions and availability dates.

    Example:

    • Early Bird Ticket: $25, available until June 9, 2017.
    • VIP Ticket: $150, available with no expiration.
  3. Ticket Availability Dates:

    • Set availability dates for tickets to control when they can be purchased.
    • Useful for creating "Early Bird" tickets or limited-time offers.
  4. Discount Codes:

    • Add discount codes to provide percentage or value-based discounts.
    • Set usage limits and availability dates.
    • Specify which tickets the discount can be applied to.

    Example:

    • Percent-Based Discount: 10% off total.
      • 3 “Early Bird” tickets at $25 each with a 10% discount = $67.50.
    • Amount-Based Discount: $10 off total.
      • 5 “Early Bird” tickets at $25 each with a $10 discount = $115.
  5. Part Payments
    • Enable part payments for your event.
    • Set a minimum part payment amount based on percentage or value off the total invoice amount.
    • During the registration, registrants can choose to pay the full invoice amount or to pay the partial payment amount only.
    • Following the registration submission, the registrant will receive an email containing their invoice in PDF format. This invoice will contain a unique payment link to fulfill the remaining invoice balance at a future date. 
    • Please note: Elvanto does not send out email reminders for partial payments. 
  6. Additional Settings:

    • Adjust settings like currency, tax, and payment methods.
    • Customize settings to cater to events in different locations.
  7. Accepting Registrations:

    • Once registration is set up and enabled, create an event registration form to start accepting registrations.
    • Ensure the form collects all necessary information for each ticket type.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage event registration, ticket sales, and discounts, providing a smooth experience for your attendees.
