Cognito-forms – Setting up Cognito Form to use a template to handle registration for multiple events

cognito-forms

I want to setup a single registration form template for multiple events. Can you use the same form template for multiple events and show specific data for each event – as participants register?

  • I want to be able to get specific data for the event so that I can show who signed up for which event as the form is submitted and allow for multiple event registration at the same time.

  • some events are for pay and some are free – is there a way to make this a possibility on a reusable form?

There are multiple ways you can do this in Cognito Forms.

  • You can use repeating sections to allow users to sign up for one or more events where they can click "Add Event" to add an unlimited set of additional events.

  • You can use conditional logic to conditionally show additional questions for a selected event. This could work both in conjunction with repeating sections or you could simply present a list of events and show fields (or blocks of questions) based on which events they select.

  • Regardless of your approach, if you enable payment via Stripe or PayPal for some of the events, the form will automatically collect payment only if the selected events result in a charge. Also, especially with the repeating section route, the receipt would be itemized and grouped by each event and selected options, such as an additional t-shirt fee or other add-ons.

Here is an example of what this could look like:
