How to Make Your Own Registration Form:
1. Start With A “Payment” Form
With templates, it’s super easy to make great forms fast. When you create a new form, you’ll see all kinds to get you started. There is a “Payment” form pre-filled with the basic fields you’ll need set up for you.
From here you can add in any additional details you need, finalize payment details, and customize the design of your form
2. Collect Customer Info
Make sure to get the essential information you need to confirm your customers’ reservation before the big day! Generally, this will include your customer’s name, email and phone number at a minimum.
If you need more information (like the guest names or any event options), you can add in all the fields you need to collect everything beforehand.
3. Select Date/Time
Now for the most important part! Scheduling your event. Customize your radio buttons to include all of your relevant times.
In “advanced settings” (click the little pencil in the corner of the block), you can limit how many people can sign up for a particular time slot. That means you can schedule only 1 person per slot… or 4 per hour… or 50 per day!
To offer signups across multiple days, you can get fancy with conditional fields. (This sounds hard, but it’s actually pretty simple.) You’ll just have your client pick what day they want, then the times available for that day will pop up after.
You can set up the days available, then the times of each day separately and link those choices in “advanced settings”
Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough on conditional fields!
4. Get Paid
You have enough to do on event day without having to fiddle with receipts or a cashbox. You can let customers get payment out of the way, so that all you have to do on the day of your event is take care of business have fun!
Adding payment to your form is simple. Just enter your price in the payment block, and your customers can pay online and get a receipt emailed to them. We do not charge any commission fees on your sales, so you get to keep the money you earn!
