PayPal
If you already have a PayPal account set up this step will be very simple. All you need to do is simply add your email email address associated with your account. Click Use this Gateway for this event to set as your default merchant account. If you do not currently have a PayPal account, please click here and register for an account.
Add a Discount Code
Discount codes are common with many events. Special pricing for certain groups, invited guests etc… can be accommodated by creating a discount code for the event which the ticket buyer can enter when buying a ticket. The discount code can be calculated as a flat fee or percentage and is applied to the ticket purchase automatically.
To create a discount code, simply click the discount code tab at the top of your administrative page.
Enter a code for the ticket buyers to use with the amount in $ or %. Can also include what the event code is applicable for, dates the code is available and any limits that may be applicable
Once the code is created you can reference it to groups or other attendees for the applicable discount.
Add Contacts
From your administrative section, you can also add contacts to invite to events. Contacts can be added by clicking the contacts tab then clicking Add Contacts. You can manually enter email addresses, import an excel or text file or import from a Gmail or Yahoo mail account. These contacts can then be sent invitations to your event.
Email Blast
Notify your contacts by sending them an email about any changes to your event or simply as a reminder that the event is approaching. To access the email blast section click “Email Blast” along the top navigation.
From here you can choose your recipient list based on individual event registrant groups. If you have a custom contacts list you can also select this from the drop down menu labeled “My Contacts”.
When creating your subject line, avoid using the word “free,” TEXT IN ALL CAPS, repeating punctuation (????) or dollar signs ($$$$). Using these can cause your email to be sent directly to a spam folder and never to be delivered.
The email body can be plain text and formatted using the text editor or you can use HTML in your msg by simply clicking the source button in the top left corner of the editor. Note: Many email readers do not like div layouts and prefer a table based layout using inline styled css.
Once you are satisfied with everything you have created, simply click “Preview and Send email”. A pop up with display showing how your email will look. Click cancel to continue editing your email. Once you have previewed your email and you are satisfied, click Send email.
