The Goal: Give members a way to sign up for several events in a recurring series, even though there is no single “register for the whole series” option.
Before You Begin:
- Understand that each event in a recurring series is treated as an individual event — there is no built-in option to register for all events in a series at once.
- Decide which approach fits your association: directing members to register for each event, or having staff register attendees for the follow-up events.
Step-by-Step Instructions
At this time, each event in a recurring series is considered to be an individual event; there is no option to register for all events in a series. If members need to sign up for multiple events in a series, you could implement either of the following options:
- Option 1 — Direct members to register for each event. Create specific messaging in registration instructions and/or confirmation messaging to direct them to register for each event in the series. You could include links to each event, and/or provide a promo code discount to “zero out” the cost of any additional events in the series.
- Option 2 — Have staff register attendees for the follow-up events. If registration requires a payment, set the first event in the series up with a paid registration type, and have the remainder of each event set up with Staff Only registration types. Staff would then be responsible for registering each attendee for the following events via the back office.
Common Pitfalls
- Expecting a single “register for the series” button: There is no built-in way to register for an entire recurring series in one step. Plan ahead by choosing one of the options above so members aren’t left guessing how to sign up for the remaining events.
