ABC Signup - Registration System for Paid Events

Answer

The registration system recommended for paid events is ABC Signup:

Benefits

• You can create and manage online registration for multiple classes and other events.
• You can automate tasks such as sending invitations, delivering confirmation emails, and managing waiting lists.
• Your registrants can pay with either a credit card or Paypal.
• Reports can be generated with information collected from your event registrants. 
• The cost to use ABC Signup will be collected from each department on a quarterly basis via the telephone billing system.
• Proceeds from your events are routed to the main University account, from which they are distributed based on the Fund/Org/Account codes you provide.
• Refunds are handled through ABC. 

Fees

• To cover the annual cost of the system, we are currently charging $1.85 per registration that goes through the system.  The $1.85 is currently charged back to your department on a quarterly schedule.
• Additionally, credit card payments submitted will incur a roughly 2.5% fee. 
• The credit card fee is taken directly from the proceeds, so you will receive 97.5% of the fee you are charging for the event. We recommend building these fees into the cost of your events so your bottom line won't be impacted.
• If you choose to accept Cash or Check, you will have to determine how best to acquire payment from your customer.
• The charges covers the storage of your data, back up, redundant sites, application upgrades, training and support via a service level agreement.

NOTE:  EventBrite can be used for paid events, but is not recommended because EventBrite events are not integrated with our Banner Financial Systems to record your transactions.
