Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the more important features to help you set up online registrations for your event.


Customizing Online Event Registration Forms

Custom fields are a powerful addition to your event registration process. Instead of a generic form that sort of fits your event type, you have all the tools you need for creating registration forms with everything you need and nothing you don’t.

The custom field features in EventPro allow you to gather lots of different types of information from your online event registration form, ranging from dietary preferences to session selections or special accommodations, so that you know how to tend to your attendee’s wide-ranging needs.


Examples of Effective Form Designs


Integrating Payment Systems

EventPro supports several payment gateways. Supported payment options include PayPal, Beanstream, CyberSource, Authorize.NET, and custom options.

For payment processing, convenience is obviously important, however, security is paramount. Payments processed through EventPro are SSL encrypted and conform to industry standards for secure processing.

Automating Confirmations and Notifications

This is a great way to keep attendees informed and engaged. Start by creating personalized confirmation emails that include event details, payment confirmations, and a friendly thank-you message. Set up real-time notifications to send updates about any last-minute changes, as well as reminders


Managing Attendee Data

Managing attendee data effectively not only helps make for a successful event–it gives you insight into ways to improve future events, and EventPro makes it easy.

The dashboard lets you monitor registration status, attendee demographics, and more in real-time. You can organize data by registration date, session preferences, or location. As the old adage “knowledge is power” goes, the more information you can gather and parse, the better equipped you will be to springboard off the success of your event to create even more impactful events in the future.


Step 6: Utilizing Advanced Features

Using conditional logic in forms makes it possible to create dynamic registration forms that adapt based on attendee responses. For example, if an attendee indicates a dietary restriction, additional fields can appear to specify their needs.

Group registrations simplify the process for multiple attendees registering at once, which is particularly useful for corporate events, allowing one person to register several individuals in one go.

Integrating your event registration with a CRM system helps maintain up-to-date records and manage relationships effectively. This synchronization ensures that all attendee information is stored in one place, enhancing your ability to track interactions, manage communications, and personalize engagement efforts.


Step 7: On-site Registration Management

Even though online registration is the preference for many, on-site support remains important. EventPro’s mobile solutions facilitate smooth on-site management:
