Conference and event registration.

Offer a full pass, a single-day pass and a student rate, each with its own limit. Mark the full pass “Good every day” and it gets in once on each day of the conference, while a single-day pass gets in once. An early registration price applies until the date you choose, then the regular price takes over on its own. Promo codes take a percentage or an amount off, for groups, partners or speakers, and can apply only to the passes you pick.

Ask for each guest’s name, and ask each guest the questions that matter for them, like their organization, job title, dietary needs or which day they’re coming. Questions for the whole order, like whether the buyer needs an invoice for reimbursement, are asked once.

Exhibitor tables, sponsorships, the conference dinner and printed materials are simply more options on the page, each with its own price and limit.

Group options under headings, like Thursday workshops or Dinner and extras, with a rule for how many each person chooses. When one person registers a team, every guest named on the order picks their own sessions.

Each workshop has its own number of places, and checkout counts them again before it charges, so a popular session never ends up with more people than chairs. If every workshop is full, guests can still register without one.

Each guest’s workshop is on their ticket, the receipt, the guest list download and the door app’s list, under their own name. The download has each guest’s answers too, ready for your badge printer.

Turn on paying by invoice or purchase order for a page, and organizations can register now and pay later. Their places are held until it’s paid or your staff cancel it, and it isn’t counted as a sale until the money arrives.

The buyer gets an invoice email with a link to pay by card, and a reminder three days before it’s due. When a check or transfer arrives, your admins record it with its reference, and it posts to the finance export on the day it was paid.

Staff can also take a registration over the phone through the page’s own checkout, and send the invoice from there.

Staff can change the name on a ticket, move a guest to another workshop or day that still has places, and refund the difference if the new choice costs less. Ticket codes stay the same, and the buyer is emailed what changed.

Everyone registered gets a reminder the day before, and you can email all your guests when a room or a time changes. At registration, staff and volunteers check people in with Gatehouse on their own phones, by QR code or by name.

Every payment, refund and chargeback carries your office’s GL code and fund, and lands in your college’s own bank account. Giving credit for attending? Send continuing-education certificates to everyone checked in.
