Discounts are structured in parallel with the base event fees. After creating your list of fee options and enabling the discounts feature, you must create the discount set and add it to the fee table. T o help you create a discount set, a new fee table will appear toward the bottom of your page, duplicating the original fee table shown in the previous screenshot. You can now edit the labels and fees to correspond to the discounts offered for each of the original fee options. You can create multiple date-based discount sets for an event. T his may be useful if you have a series of early bird dates that progressively increase the cost of registration as the date of the event gets closer. Click Save and advance to the next step.
Online Registration Your organisation may want its staff to register participants manually. However, allowing people to register online (self-service) through your web site offers many benefits. Online registration is convenient for your constituents and can save staff time and resources. T o offer online registration, check Allow Online Registration and use the options on this form to configure this feature. Define the text to be used as the link to the registration form, and set the starting and ending dates for registration. T he link text is used in the event information page, and is most commonly "Register Now" or similar. T he start and end dates define when web site visitors may register for the event. T he registration end date may be different from the start date of the event, as you may want to close registration in advance of the event in order to prepare name tags or perform other administrative functions.
