Who Can Register For Events
When creating an event registration, you have the option to enable registrations for anyone or limit registrations to only Connect Users.
Advantages of limiting registrations to only Connect Users:
- Registrants will NOT have to complete a reCAPTCHA
- Credit Card information can be saved for future use
- No need to enter email or name information for every registration
- Connect Users can view upcoming registered events
- Enhanced payment security
Advantages of enabling anyone to register:
- Registrants do not have to create a Connect User Account
- Registrants do not count towards your name tier in ChurchTrac
- There is less friction for individuals to register
Which should you use?
For repeat events in which most of the registrants are already members at your church, limiting registrations to Connect Users may be ideal. Some examples are mid-week dinners, a prayer breakfast, a women's bible study, and more.
For events in which many registrants are NOT already Connect Users, it's best to allow registrations for "Anyone". VBS, Summer Camp, and Concerts are great examples of this.
