Payments: Offering Early Bird and Standard registration
print icon
In this example, the event has a discounted Early Bird registration. When that expires, registration switches to a higher Standard admission price.

In this article:

Where is it?

You’ll set up the pricing from the Configure tab:

After that, new registrants will access MeetMax, On the Registration Options page, they'll see the currently-available registration price:

  Before they pay, an Attendee can only see the MeetMax features you’ve granted access to. You’ll configure that in the Menu Editor.

Setting up

For this example, we have two registration levels:

  • Early Bird registration: A discounted price that expires two weeks before the event starts.
  • Standard registration: The regular price, which takes effect as soon as the Early Bird price expires.

Creating the Registration Types

For each of the options above, we’ll create a separate Registration Type:

For this set:

  • Each Registration Type has a different date range when it’s active.
  • Both are available only to the Attendee role.
  • We’ve set both Registration Types to display as Default. We can do this because they’re not active at the same time.

  For this registration scenario, we don’t need any of the Guest settings.
  These Registration Types only create the ticket options. We’ll give each one a price in the next section.

Creating Registration Options

Create one Registration Option, called “Admission” or similar. (If your account has this default Registration Option, you can edit it.)

For this scenario:

  • Make this Registration Option required.
  • MeetMax will list both of the Registration Types you’ve just created. Assign a price to each one:

  Free is a default Registration Option in MeetMax, so you can offer complimentary admission as needed. Leave it blank for this scenario.

What participants see

Once an Attendee completes their event registration, they’ll be taken to their MeetMax account. They’ll see the Registration Options and Invoice tabs, plus any other tabs you’ve granted access to before payment.

On the Registration Options page, they’ll see only the admission price that’s available on the day they register:

  Our Support team can also configure this registration so participants don't see the Registration Options page at all - they'd just use the Invoice page.

After the Attendee clicks the Save button here, the Invoice tab will update automatically. Now the Attendee can proceed with payment:
