• Credit Cards
• Debit Cards
• PayPal
• Venmo
• Installment and partial payments with Pay Later, Pay in 4, and Pay Monthly
• ACH or Electronic Bank Transfer
• Other local payment methods

In the past, all these payment method options were separate and disjoined, but now these options are in one. PayPal Commerce is a replacement for all other PayPal products including: Standard, Express, Smart Buttons, Pro, Braintree, etc.

Event Smart DOES NOT charge any per-ticket or per-event fees, which means more funds for your organization and you can create as many events as you would like, where as other platforms charge you for each ticket you sell.

You also get paid directly into your own payment account every time someone buys a ticket or registers. You do not have to wait until your event is over, or request money in advance. You get paid every time someone buys a ticket so you can have money to plan your event and improve your cash flow.

You can have a new merchant account with PayPal in just a couple of days so you can start accepting online payments securely for your event registrations using PayPal Commerce. If you need a merchant account, then you can sign up for one on PayPal.com and choose the business account. You can also call PayPal at 1-855-456-1338.

Require Answers to a Question
You can require that registrants answer your questions in order to complete the registration form (mandatory fields), and you can create a custom text message for each question that prompts them to complete the answer if they leave it unanswered.

Drag-and-Drop Order/Sequence Questions
It doesn’t get any easier than this: just drag-and-drop your questions into place on your form to place them in the order you want your attendees to view them.

Group and Reuse Questions
If you want to reuse your questions for other events, you can group your questions. Simply check the question group you want to use for any event.

Question Assignment
Event Smart also allows you to ask different questions for different types of attendees (see screenshot to the right).

The Primary Registrant is the first person in the list of registrations (and usually the person doing the registering). Primary Registrants can be asked one set of questions which can be different from the Additional Registrants.

The Additional Registrants are the subsequent registrations after the primary registration. Additional Registrants can be asked one set of questions which can be different from the Primary Registrants. Additionally, the Primary Registrant’s information can be copied to additional attendees/registrants to speed up registration.

Maximum Character Length for Answers
You can set a maximum character length for all text-type questions, to limit the amount of data that is entered for each question.

The ability to check-in attendees and track attendance are part of the customizable tickets and confirmation emails, barcode scanning and check-in tracking feature upgrade.

Here are some ways that our event organizers use the customizable event tickets and confirmation emails, barcode scanning and check-in tracking features for their events:

– Send festival attendees their tickets after they register online

– Send multiple tickets to a group of friends that register for a creative class

– Send conference attendees their barcode tickets after registration

– Import a list of members of your organization and send them tickets that you scan and validate at the door

– Track attendance at a training or conference for continuing education credits

How does it work?

After an attendee successfully registered for your event, Event Smart will collect and store registration details. After that, using the attendee data, Event Smart will generate a unique barcode or QR code for each individual barcode ticket. 

The unique barcodes and QR codes will secure you from any ticket fraud. The barcode scanning will also help speed up and automate the check-in and validation process.

Tickets will automatically be sent to registered participants. An attendee can either print out the paper ticket or have it as an electronic ticket. Upon entry, you can scan the QR code with your smartphone (with the mobile app) or scan the barcode with a 2D barcode scanner for fast check-in.

Event Smart is an amazing & customizable tool to facilitate ticket payment for events. We used it to coordinate an event that 140 people attended. People were able to seamlessly pay through paypal (with tiered ticketing options). We were also able to export data easily into excel with the names, emails, # tickets purchased etc. I highly recommend this easy-to-implement tool for ticketing and payment of your event. I plan on utilizing this site for future paid events. – Beth P.

FAQs

How are tickets generated for an attendee? A ticket is created using the Primary Registrants’ information, and this is the person that registers for an event. If the primary registrant chooses multiple quantities, then their ticket will be valid for the number of registrations that were made. For instance, if someone registers for three, then they’ll receive three tickets through email after a successful registration.

How do group registrations work with ticketing? When the Personal Information Question Group is enabled for Additional Registrants through the lower right of the event editor, then a ticket will be created for each attendee that registers. This means that each attendee will receive their own ticket with a unique QR code and a unique barcode through email.

Can I create custom tickets for various events? Yes, you can create different ticket templates and assign them to different events.

Are barcodes on event tickets supported? Yes, a barcode will automatically be created and added to the ticket. You’ll have the flexibility to scan a QR code using a mobile phone or scan a barcode using a 2D barcode scanner for fast check-in into an event.

What devices are supported by the mobile apps? An Android phone or an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad can be used for check-in. The check-in processes communicate with your Event Smart website in real-time, so an active internet connection is required.

What kind of barcodes are supported? These barcode types are supported by the Barcode Scanner: – code39 – code93 (this is the default) – code128 – data matrix.

Which barcode scanner do I need to scan my attendee tickets? You are free to choose a barcode scanner that you like. It needs to support 2D scanning. If you need some suggestions, look at some 2D barcode scanners on Amazon.com.

What if I get stuck or need some help? We understand that as a busy professional, you need an events solution that allows you to focus on your events.

The work of an event organizer or event planner runs all year round. After hosting a successful event comes another event to plan and get ready to host. And most often, you need to plan and manage multiple events at the same time. Sometimes you’re hosting the same event type that repeats regularly, and sometimes you’re hosting different types of events. 

So how do you juggle every single event? How can you stay at the top of your game without compromising a quality experience? Here are some tips you must remember:

1. Lock in schedules in your event calendar

Time is such a commodity in event management. You can’t afford to confuse dates and schedules. To prevent any delays or conflicts, or you missing out on a single detail, it’s very important to do scheduling through an event calendar or planner to keep things organized. Make your event calendar available as soon as possible and keep it up to date so your audience will have more time to decide.

2. Craft a detailed to-do list

To-do lists are such life savers. As an event handler, you will go to multiple locations, get to meet different people, and run a variety of errands on a daily basis. Writing out everything you need to do is an effective method to keep track of what you have finished and what needs to be done. After and/or before each event, remember to update or edit your to-do checklists often to make the task list more efficient and accurate.

3. Get as much help as you can

Admit it or not, you can’t do everything by yourself. No matter how good of a handler you are, you need a reliable team. Other people on your team can likely do some tasks as well or better than you, so consider delegating tasks to different committees. Form a team responsible for planning, registration, admission, production, advertising, security, and others

4. Automate as much as possible

Be in control by not being in control of every menial task. Get the best out of technology by letting your Event Management Software take care of your registration and ticketing needs. Offer online ticket sales to attendees so that you can automate collecting revenue.

You can programmatically schedule recurring events or any upcoming event in just one seating. You can open registrations for every individual event on your desired event date. Not only that, you can sell unlimited tickets.

Multiple Event Registration: Your Key to Successful Events

Participants always look for an easy registration process. The more events you have the more opportunity you have to generate revenue, engage with your audience, and get good at hosting events. When hosting multiple events, you should provide a way for attendees to register for as many events as they want. Use an event shopping cart for attendees to check out for multiple events at the same time.

Enable an event shopping cart so your attendees can register online for various events at the same time.

Through Event Smart, you can accept online event registrations for events like courses, classes, workshops, nonprofit events, and more. Add the Multiple Event Registration feature upgrade. An event shopping cart will then be available so your attendees can register for several events at the same time using registration checkout.

Here are some ways that our event organizers use the Multiple Event Registration feature upgrades for their events:

– Students can register for a handful of continued education classes at once 

– Online registrations for different events at the same time in a week-long festival

– Attendees can register for several nonprofit fundraisers at the same time

An example of the event shopping cart

Why Multiple Event Registration?

What would it mean for you to have an events solution that worked for you around the clock? Would it help your business to generate more revenue per attendee by allowing them to easily register for multiple events in the same checkout?

Imagine no longer having to spend hours and hours dealing with paper registrations, hounding people for paper checks, or piecing together a bunch of different products to handle your event registrations. Think about the time that you would save knowing that your event registrations were being taken care of right from your Event Smart website.

What would you do with that found time?

Wouldn’t it feel great to know that with your next event, your website could collect attendee registrations and securely process payments for you?

And before your event, you could create an attendee list in just a few clicks from your Event Smart dashboard, so you are ready to go for your event.

• Generate an Attendance List and export the list to a report in .CSV format
• Check-in Attendees for Record Keeping

Attendance List

The Check-in list of attendees are of two registration status types: Approved or Pending Payment.

• Approved – are registrations where a payment has been made (or is not required), or it has been manually approved by the admin.
• Pending Payment – registrations that are still awaiting payment.

These are the logical list of attendees. We include registrations that are still pending payment in the case that you allow registrants to pay at the door.

Check-in List

The check-in feature can be accessed online to record attendance. There are three statuses per registration: checked-in, checked-out, or no check-in record available.
