Overview:
Events can require an up front deposit to be submit for registering teams. The payment is an accumulation of the Initial Fee, and any Features that were selected during Check Out. This setting allows the event to set a maximum limit for that payment.
For an example, lets say that your event has an Initial Fee of $500, and there is a feature built for Tournament T-Shirts priced at $20/shirt. If you registered for the event with an an order for 10 T-Shirts, that would be $500 for the initial fee, and $200 in T- Shirt cost, equaling $700.
If you set the Up Front Limit to $500, the team would only be charged that amount, and the remaining $200 will be outstanding and can be paid once the team is officially accepted into the event.
Instructions:
Step 1
- From your Admin Dashboard, click Scheduling > Events > Click onto the event you're building.
- At the top of the Event Info tab, click Registration Fees
Step 2
- Click New Registration Fee on the right side to build a new fee.
- Fill out the Fee settings and click the "Yes, charge the credit card when someone initially registers a team."
Step 3
- Type in the amount of the maximum amount of money you'd like to collect at the time of check out.
- ***NOTE The payment will be for the accumulation of the Initial Fee, and any Features that were selected during Check Out
- ***NOTE Consider the "Up Front Percentage" fee box with this setting. Going back to the example within the Overview: If the Up Front Percentage is 50%, and the initial fee is $500, that would be $250 fee and $200 in T-Shirts, resulting in a $450 payment, which would be accepted. $500 would be the maximum amount that would be allowed to be paid. The remaining balance would be paid once the team is accepted into the event.
