Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Getting Started

Is RegiSpot really free?+

Yes. There are no monthly fees and no registration limits. You only pay a 5% service fee on paid registrations — and you can pass that fee to your registrants if you'd like. Free events cost you nothing, ever.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. RegiSpot runs entirely in your browser. There's also a free mobile app for managing rosters and check-ins on the go.

How long does it take to set up an event?+

Most organizers publish their first event in under 10 minutes using our guided wizard.

Can I use RegiSpot outside the US?+

Yes. RegiSpot supports events in any country. Stripe processes payments in 135+ currencies and your local currency is detected automatically.

Payments & Fees

What does the 5% service fee apply to?+

Only paid registrations processed through RegiSpot. Free events have no fee.

What about Stripe's processing fee?+

Stripe charges its standard 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. This is separate from RegiSpot's 5% and is deducted at the time of the transaction.

Can I pass the fee to my registrants?+

Yes. Toggle 'Pass fee to registrant' when creating an event and the 5% will appear as a clear line item at checkout.

How do I get paid?+

Funds are deposited directly to your connected Stripe account on Stripe's standard daily payout schedule.

How do I update my bank account?+

For your security, RegiSpot doesn't store or modify bank details. Sign in to your Stripe dashboard directly to update payout information.

Why can't my registrant see Apple Pay?+

Apple Pay only appears on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Safari on Mac). Google Pay shows on Android and Chrome. All major credit and debit cards work everywhere.

Registration Management

How do I handle multiple sessions of the same event?+

When creating an event, choose 'Multiple sessions.' You can either create separate events per session (clean rosters) or use a single form with a session-selector dropdown (one combined roster).

How do I add staff or helpers?+

Open the event editor → Staff & Helpers tab. Enter their email and assign a role (Admin, Assistant, or Coach). They'll receive an invitation to create a free RegiSpot account.

How does the waitlist work?+

Enable the waitlist toggle on your event. Once capacity is reached, the form switches to a 'Join Waitlist' option. You can convert waitlisted registrants to confirmed with one click if spots open.

Can I add upsells like t-shirts or meal plans?+

Yes. In the form builder, add a checkbox or dropdown field and assign a price to each option. The price is added to the base registration cost automatically.

How do I handle siblings or family registrations?+

Enable the 'family member' option in the form builder. Family members registering with the same email are automatically tagged as a Family Group in your roster.

A registrant didn't get their confirmation email — what should I do?+

Ask them to check their spam/junk folder first. You can also resend the confirmation from the registrant roster with one click.

QR Code Moments

What are QR Code Moments?+

Printable QR codes that link straight to your event registration page. Put them on posters, flyers, banners, table tents, or field signage — one scan opens your page instantly.

How do I create a QR code?+

Open your event → QR Codes → enable QR Code Moments, then create a code with a label like 'Front Gate' or 'Flyer'. Download the high-resolution image and print it.

Can I create more than one code per event?+

Yes — create as many as you like. Give each one a label so you can see which sign, flyer, or location drives the most registrations.

How many scans are included?+

Every event includes 500 free scans. Beyond that, scans are billed at $9.99 per additional 500, charged to your card on file when the event concludes.

Will my QR code stop working if I go over the limit?+

Never. Your codes keep redirecting from the first scan to the last — we simply bill the overage afterwards. No interruptions, ever.

Do repeat scans from the same person count twice?+

No. Repeat scans from the same device within a 5-minute window count as a single scan.

Why do I need a card on file to publish?+

A card is required only when your event takes paid registrations, uses QR Code Moments, or uses a custom domain. It ensures the event runs without interruption.

Marketing & Sharing

Can I embed registration on my own website?+

Yes. Every event has a copy-paste iFrame embed code with customizable width, height, and branding. It's fully responsive.

How do I email past registrants about a new event?+

On the publish step of any event, select past events and click 'Send Notification' — registrants from those events will receive an email with the new event link.

Can I upload my own email list?+

Yes. On the publish step, upload a CSV of email addresses to invite additional contacts beyond past registrants.

Why isn't my discount code working?+

Codes are case-sensitive and space-sensitive — 'SUMMER10', 'summer10', and 'Summer 10' are all different. We recommend simple all-caps codes with no spaces.

Can I use my own custom domain?+

Yes. Configure a CNAME record in your DNS and your event pages will be served from your subdomain (e.g., camps.myorganization.com) with no RegiSpot branding.

Technical Support

I forgot my password — how do I reset it?+

Use the 'Forgot password' link on the sign-in page. You'll get a reset link via email.

I no longer have access to my account email.+

For security reasons, we can't grant access to an account whose email you no longer control. We recommend creating a new account.

What size should my banner image be?+

Recommended size is 1600px wide. JPG and PNG are supported. The image is responsive and resizes automatically on smaller screens.

Can I get help with my Stripe setup?+

Stripe-specific issues are best resolved with Stripe support directly so your account information stays secure. For general questions about connecting Stripe to RegiSpot, contact us.
