How to Accept Donations in Lieu of Attending on Online Express Registration Form

Options
I've just created our first Online Express Registration page & realized that the page can't accept a donation w/o registering a guest. Has anyone set up an Online Express Registration page & linked it to another donation only page using Online Express. I've found a BB Knowlegebase article about doing this in NetCommunity. I sure hope this can be done in Online Express too!  Has anyone done a combination Donation only & Event Registration page or linked a donation page to an Event Registration page?

Thanks!

  • Hi Rene,


    We are having the exact same problem!  Have you found any solution?  We have a sponsorship that is donation only with no attendees and can't put that on the form as well as someone who only wants to donate to the event and not attend.  Frustrating!  I think we may have to do two forms, but would rather not because it could cause confusion.


    Thanks!
  • We recently started using Online Express, and found this issue as well.

    We always have had many people who donate through our registration forms (we used NetCommunity's general donation forms without the events module before) after receiving our invitiation by mail or email, in lieu of buying a ticket and attending.

    Having a link to a second donation form will for sure reduce the number of donations received, so it would be great if you can add this function to Online Express ASAP!
