A New Registration Experience

The new event registration offers a modern aesthetic, in line with updates we’ve made to donation and peer-to-peer registration forms. And with a distraction-free registration modal, the flow of registration is simpler and more streamlined for your registrants.

Here’s a peek at what the new flow looks like for registrants.

Registration form opens in a modal when registrants click to register, and ticket packages update to highlight key info, including number of tickets and discount opportunities.

Please note:

• In order to update your event registration forms, your organization will need to be using Qgiv’s updated donation forms. When you update a legacy event, most settings will remain the same, although we do suggest double-checking your settings. The main update your organization will need to make after opting in is to customize your new event landing page.
• If you've embedded your legacy event registration on an external site, you'll also need to update your widgets.
