What It Does

Whether you are holding a meetup, class, workshop, tournament, or any other kind of event, you need a way to handle registration. Our plugin makes managing event registration easy and simple. Even nontechnical users can set up the plugin and start collecting registrations within minutes. Create a simple RSVP registration form or a more complex form with custom fields. All registrations are recorded in your database for easy event management.

As soon as you install and activate the plugin, you can begin collecting event registrations on the single event page for all of your events. You can also customize the placement of the form on the single event page or on any other page using a shortcode or the block editor.

The plugin can be used for more than event registration. It can handle RSVP for meetings, class registration, sports club registration, venue booking, webinar sign-ups, private instructor booking, virtual events, and more.

User-friendly features include reducing incomplete event registrations by limiting the entire process to a single page and keeping your event page uncluttered. You can follow up with your attendees using customizable confirmation emails and save entries in a database table for easy management.

Highly customizable options allow you to add as many text fields as you like to the event registration form, choose how the form displays, and customize labels and error messages. You can also limit the number of registrations per event and display a list of current registered attendees.

Powerful backend features make event management easy. Registrations are saved in the WordPress database, and you can manually add, edit, and delete them. You can check for duplicate email addresses and get notifications when new registrations need to be reviewed.

The plugin also includes tools for GDPR compliance, allowing you to require attendees to agree to terms and conditions before registering and delete individual event registrations as needed.
