Getting Started with Registration
PheedLoop's registration module is feature-packed with all sorts of ways to customize every step of your event's registration process, from the logic and design, to finance and integrations. We have a series of videos for you to review to ensure you know everything there is to getting your registration started. What we would recommend doing if you haven't already done so, is to review our Event Website Getting Started Guide. The Event Website is a pre-requisite when using PheedLoop's Registration system.
Getting Started with Event Registration
The Getting Started with Event Registration Video will go through the initial steps required for you to setup your registration! Review the topics and written instructions covered below.

- Connect to Stripe - To ensure you are able to collect payment for tickets, you will need to connect to your payment processor, Stripe. To do this, click on the top right corner of your dashboard and navigate to Settings > Integrations. This is where you can connect to Stripe.

Examples of Registration Flows:
The Registration Categories feature is one of our most exciting and powerful features in the registration system. There are a few ways to setup your registration categories. This video will cover the main benefits of having category specific registration flows and some examples of registration flows that we have seen with customers.
- Display Relevant Tickets: One of the main benefits of having registration categories is to display a segmented list of tickets to an attendee based on what category they selected. This is particularly beneficial if you are an event that sells a lot of tickets. Instead of having all of your tickets display in one large list during the tickets page, only the tickets associated to the category you selected will be displayed.
- Simple Registration: When this feature is toggled on, there is no ticket step required for the category. This is useful if you are looking to collect names, answers to questions but not necessarily have registrants pay for a ticket. This is commonly
- Examples of Registration Categories
- Member and Non-Member
- Attendee, Exhibitor, Board Member & Staff
- Virtual and In-person
