To manage attendee payments for events, Tithely offers flexible options for both administrators and attendees. This guide explores the various payment methods available for event registration, ensuring a seamless transaction process. Attendees can choose from multiple payment options, making it easier for them to participate in church events. Explore the detailed steps and options for setting up payment methods for your next event, enhancing the overall registration experience for your attendees.
Paying & Registering for an Event
Registering for an event set up through Tithely is an easy process that collects an array of needed information. As an administrator of the event, you can set up if you would like donors to be able to pay:
-
Partial or full payment for the event at the time of registration
-
Set up discount codes for attendees
-
Collect any information needed through our uniquely customizable questions fields.
Note: Registrations have a submission limit of 10 attendees at a time and can only be paid for using a card. If you would like to accept cash or check for an event we recommend creating a discount code to be applied.
Tithely Tip
If a users payment method is declined or another issue arrises they will be notified via an on screen pop up with instructions to resolve the issue experienced.
Adding a Payment Plan to an Event
- Login to your Tithely account.
- Select Events.
- Select View/Edit Event.
- Click on Event Details.
- Scroll down to where it says "payment plan" and then click Edit.
From there, you can enable the payment plan option for your event. This will allow the donors to pay two installments instead of the total amount. As you can see from the screenshot, the event must be at least two months away to enable this. The payments will be charged monthly in two installments before the actual event!
If a registrant's payment fails, subsequent payments in the plan will still be attempted. However, missed payments will need to be addressed outside of the payment plan. To handle these missed payments, you might consider creating a hidden, non tax-deductible "Event Fund" to accept individual payments.
Tithely Tip
Note that Tithely Event payments get attributed to their own non tax deductible fund, which will not appear on users tax statements.
Transaction Fees for Events
Note that when a donor pays for an event, that transaction is processed the same way as any other transaction on the Tithely platform and is subjected to the associated transaction fees. Learn more about this: Tithely Transaction Fees and Subscription Pricing.
