Registrant Fields in the Events Module

Lindsay Bartlett

Is there a way, in the Online Express, when creating an event to allow people to just donate to an event. Everytime we have someone go to our current events page to donate, it pops up that they must have one registrant listed. They are not attending the event, just donating to it. 


I have gone into Online Express but the button where it says "Last Name Required" is greyed out so I cannot unclick it. 


Thoughts?

I didn't consider it a big deal if a donor has to enter their name on the form, as long as there is a clear-cut way for them to mark that they cannot attend. Make sure you have the box marked that says "Allow registrants to make additional donations", and then create a registrant type that says "Cannot Attend" = $0.


However, if you don't like this workaraound, you can try another tactic. Consider making two donate buttons on your communication piece, one for donations and one for registrants only. Then use a plain Donations form for the non-registrant. So for instance, on your event landing page, you would have one button for "Register Here" and another for "Donate to our cause", perhaps...
