e-Ticketing is a premium functionality that we can turn on upon request. For fundraisers and participants, you can generate tickets and have them automatically mailed to you. The tickets have a QR code and you can eventually scan it via your mobile, webcam or manually.Article contentExplanatory videoFeaturesSetting up E-ticketsUse e-tickets directly below this pageShare e-tickets with buyerScanning of ticketsWho all can scan?ScannerAdd scannerMailsManual scanningScanning via camera See also here the explanation as given at the Kentaa Academy on 14 April 2022And the video about the update on 12 August (adding scanners):FeaturesYou can set tickets per level, separatelyOnce tickets are shared, fundraisers can also find them in their dashboard under "my registration".If you add multiple participants under the same email address, you will get in multiple tickets (Currently in multiple emails, but we will change that to an email with multiple PDFs)You can choose to generate the tickets already, but not share them yet (and do so at a later date) Setting up e-ticketsYou can set up e-tickets by level. You can choose to do this at website level (for registrations that go directly below website level), for a specific sub site (for registrations that go directly at that level) or for registrations under a campaign. You do this by going to Settings > E-tickets. Here you have two options: E-tickets use directly below this page.If you use these then e-tickets will be generated. You will then only see the e-tickets via E-tickets > Overview. Nothing else happens and fundraisers don't see the tickets yet either. You cannot download pdf files yet, but you can already see the ticket numbers.Share e-tickets with buyerOnly the moment you click "Share e-tickets with buyer." then fundraisers can see their tickets in the dashboard (example ticket). Existing fundraisers or participants at that level will immediately be sent the mail under Fundraisers > Send e-tickets. New participants, when creating an fundraiser, get their ticket sent directly. That mail looks like this by default, but you can customise it.This screenshot was taken in the fourth template. To ensure that the logo is always visible, this template chose to always include a white frame for the logo. Otherwise, you might get the situation where the logo is all green and then disappears into the green background. Scanning of ticketsYou can scan e-tickets manually or via a camera. On the main level, if you go to E-tickets > Overview (manual) or to E-tickets > Scan. Then you will see all tickets from the entire site (including all underlying sub sites and campaigns), and you can scan them all as well. You can also go specifically to, say, a campaign and there you can only scan tickets that fall under that campaign.Who can scan?Site administratorsCan set up e-tickets, go to the overview and scan (and create exports). If, as a site administrator, you start scanning at the highest level, you also scan immediately for all underlying campaigns. You can think of it as a kind of 'super scanner'Sub site managersCan go to the overview and scan (and create exports)Campaign managersCan go to the overview and scan (and create exports)Scanner (see next heading)Scanners can only scan tickets for the entities (website level, sub site, campaign) to which they have been added. ScannerAs a regular scanner, you can also be added at the website level. However, then you can only scan that level, not, for example, underlying sub sites or campaigns (unless you are specifically added to those as well). Add scannerYou can add a scanner per level. This is linked to a user. You can have a user who can only scan. This will then not appear in the dashboard at all, but directly in a scan menu. Handy if you have some volunteers to help with scanning at an event, for instance!You can add a scanner by going to E-tickets > ScannersYou add someone by creating an account here. If someone is not yet known, a new user is created and receives two e-mails: one to set their password and one to indicate that they have been added as a scanner.MailsThe mail a scanner receives looks like this:You can customise it via E-mails > Overview Mails > Scanners > Welcome mail scanner:You will see this mail only if e-tickets are used at that level!You can also add someone who is already a user in the system as a scanner of a particular campaign (or sub site or website level). For example, an fundraiser who wants to help with scanning. You will then see this message:After saving, this fundraiser can then also scan tickets for that level. If someone who starts an fundraiser is also a scanner and logs in to the dashboard, he will enter the dashboard of his fundraiser. He can then go to scanning by clicking on this icon: There are two ways to actually scan: manually and via a cameraManual scanningIf you go to the overview of tickets via E-tickets > Overview, you can manually set people as present there. You do this by clicking on the three dots behind the fundraiser/participant and marking them as present.Each ticket comes with a Ticket Number. You can also search by that in the search field.Should there be internet problems, you can also work with an offline variant by making a download of all tickets in advance. This will then state:Created on || E-ticket number || Name || Title || Scanned on || Scanned byYou can then manually search and tick off ticket numbers.Scanning via cameraIf you go to E-tickets > Scan, it will automatically try to connect to your webcam (computer) or your camera (mobile). After you give that permission, you can scan the QR code. If you scan a code that is invalid you will get a red notification.The window for scanning looks like this: (with a scanner landing directly in here and thus not landing in a dashboard first)Here, you can select a camera and then scan a ticket. This could be a camera from your mobile, for example, or a webcam if you work on your PC.A scanner can also manually enter a code You hold the QR code in front of the webcamAfter a successful scan, you will immediately see the info (at the bottom you will see additional questions, activities, any webshop items and contact details) For an invalid QR code (with a wrong link), you will see this:If a ticket has already been scanned, it looks like this:

When registering a participant/fundraiser, it is possible to charge a registration fee, so registering for the event and creating the personal fundraising page is one integrated process. The registration fee must always be paid when creating an fundraiser, regardless of whether you sign up as a member of a team or as an individual participant. Registration fees can be added at multiple levels and 'inherit down'. When registration fees are added at the website level, any sub sites and campaigns receive this same registration fee. It is then possible to override the registration fee if there is a different value at the relevant level. It is possible to add multiple registration fee options (with different amounts).Participants can decide how they want to be registered. This can be useful, for example, for:Different distances with different starting rates;Age groups where children pay a reduced rate;In addition to the regular registration rate, offer a 2nd rate where a T-shirt of the event is offered.Content:Add registration feeChange registration feeView chosen registration feeAdd registration feeSettings ⟶ registration feeThe Add registration fee button allows you to add the option(s), asking for a title and amount. Next to this, it asks whether the paid registration fee should be included in the counter position on the website. Usually, the registration fee is meant to cover expenses and is not included (as donation money) in the counter position, but this can of course vary.Change registration feeSettings ⟶ Registration feeBy clicking the Edit button, it is possible to edit the title and amount of the option. This can be useful when offering an early bird option, where the amount is increased over time.View chosen registration fee- The campaigner himself and the site administrator can see what registration fee the campaigner has paid by managing the campaign under My Entry. In addition, the registration fee choice can be viewed in the participants' exports.- On the fundraising page, the chosen registration fee is always displayed. This is a fixed element of the page and cannot be hidden. - Registration fees are reflected in the Excel export of all fundraisers and donations.

You can do so with the webshop function within the platform. This feature makes it possible to offer products and even services to anyone who creates an action on the website. The webshop is not on by default on the website, it can be turned on by a support person on the website. To do this, contact iRaiser. After this, the products must be added to the catalogue. Once the products are put in the catalogue, the action starter can see this right away and order directly in the action start flow!But what if these products only apply to a specific Sub site or Campaigns? No problem! In fact, it is possible to set up a catalogue at segment or project level. This catalogue will then only be visible to the campaigners at this level. Conversely, it is also possible to set up a catalogue on the main level, after which you disable it on a lower Sub site or Campaigns.Webshop items addAdministration ⟶ Webshop catalogClick Yes, there is a webshop catalogue to add webshop itemsClick Product addFill in a title (mandatory)Fill in an amount (mandatory)Evt: upload an image of the productEvt. add multiple variants (e.g. S, M, L, XL, XXL)Click SavePlease note: Unticking Yes, there is a Webshop catalogue disables the webshop but does not remove the products. View webshop ordersAdministration ⟶ Webshop ordersThis page shows an Overview of all Webshop ordersClick on the blue eye icon to see details of an order 

View the video explaining this functionality here. The Achievements Tracker allows campaigners to add sporting achievements to their Fundraising page. The distance covered is added up and displayed on the Fundraising page. A fundraiser can also link to a Strava account, after which new achievements are automatically added to the page!In addition, the total distance covered by all Fundraisers is added up and displayed on the homepage.Article content:AchievementsSet targetAdd Achievements (manual) StravaCreating a Strava appLink your Strava account to a Fundraising pageLink StravaUse AchievementsAchievements turn offVisibilityExcel fileTarget distance reached emailAchievements in the spotlight AchievementsA fundraiser can add Achievements by logging into the dashboard and finding the 'Achievements' tab that looks like this:Set targetIn addition to setting a target amount, a fundraiser can set a goal for their achievement. In this case, it is a certain number of kilometres. If achievements are turned on, the target distance is also (optionally) asked in the sign-up flow. You can see the new question at the bottom: Add Achievements (manually)The Add Achievements screen looks like this:First, you select a Sport. Here you can choose from Running, Hiking, Cycling, Swimming, Skating, Skeelering or Other (for all other sports). Next, you give the Achievements a title. This will appear at the top of your Fundraising page.Fill in the description of the achievement. This is optional; you can continue without filling it in.Fill in the date and time.Add your distance covered and click save.You can see that the fundraiser has been added, and the mileage has been updated. At 'source', there is an iRaiser icon indicating that it was added via the platform. On the front end of the  Fundraising page, it looks like this:Here, 'Rondje Veluwezoom' is the Title, and the text below it is the Description. On the homepage, the number of kilometres travelled over the entire platform has been added under the donation counter:StravaYou can also choose to link to Strava. Strava is an app that many athletes use to track their Achievements. To avoid having to enter sports Achievements in two places, we have linked to Strava.Any activity added on Strava is forwarded to the participant's Fundraising page and filed away under the correct sport.Before you can make use of this, a Strava app has to be created (once) for the platform: Creating a Strava app To connect Strava to your platform, a general link to the Strava app must be created. This can be your personal account and is purely used to establish the technical link with the platform. Nothing else happens to your information or account. The easiest way is to create a new Strava account is with a general company email address. You only need this to establish the link. No other emails will be sent to the email address (you can uncheck email updates in the sign-up process). Once that app is installed properly, fundraisers can link to their own Strava account via the platform.Below is a step-by-step guide to doing this.1. Create an account at www.strava.com (this is a personal account)2. Go (once logged in) to https://www.strava.com/settings/apiFill in the following:Name of applicationHere, you fill in the desired name of the app, usually the name of the site or of your foundationCategorySelect 'Charitable organisation'ClubThis can be left blankWebsiteFill in the URL of the website here (starting with https://)Description of applicationHere, you can describe the application of the appAuthorisation of callback domainFill in oauth.kentaa.nl hereClick agree and create to continue3. Next, upload your app icon4. Then send the Client ID and Client secret to iRaiser support (you can create a new ticket for that). If we then add these to your platform, the connection is ready. Make sure you don't send a screenshot, but copy the ID and secret. Otherwise it's hard to take this over manually.5. Increase number of athletes in appFor new apps, Strava puts a restriction on the number of athletes allowed to connect. They are by default set on 1, which practically means that only one fundraiser can connect to Strava. You need to make sure that this number is increased to 999. To increase this, they have a contact form that you can fill out. Click here for an example of how to fill out this form and here for a sample screenshot you can attach. After filling it out, Strava support will check the application. They do not provide feedback that it has been accepted, so in this case it is a matter of logging in and checking for yourself if the limit has been upped to 999. 6. Periodic reviewsStrava may periodically review apps. In such a case, they email to the email address used to create the app. It is then important to do that check, otherwise they may disable/add restrictions to the app at some point. Linking your personal Strava account to a Fundraising pageNow that the Strava app is linked to the platform, a Strava icon will appear: Click connect and give the app permission. Then, newly added achievements within Strava will automatically appear on the Fundraising page (this can take up to 10 minutes). Below is an example of an achievement added via the link (also note the Strava icon):On the front end of the Fundraising page, it looks like this:The Achievement above (25.23 km) was manually entered into Strava; therefore, no map is displayed. If a route map is available, then you will see a map of this with the Achievements. An example of this:Photos taken during the recording of the Achievements in Strava will also be included. For example, see this hike:Disconnect StravaThe owner of the Fundraiser page has the option to unlink Strava. This can be done from their Strava account and the Fundraiser dashboard within iRaiser. To do so, on the Achievements tab, click on the Strava disconnect cross (bottom right of the screenshot):A site administrator cannot undo individual Strava links (unless it owns the Fundraiser page). However, a site administrator can choose to turn off Achievements at a level (e.g. for a Campaign). If that happens, all Achievements will be deleted, and links to Strava will be broken. To do this, see Turn off Achievements. Use AchievementsYou can specify per level whether you want to use Achievements. You can turn it on or off at the Website level and per Sub site or Campaign. You can also specify whether you want to see the number of kilometres travelled on the counter. You can set this at Sub site or Website level via Settings > Achievements.Turn off AchievementsIf no Achievements have been added under a Campaign, then you can turn Achievements on or off with no consequences. If Achievements have already been added, when you turn them off (by unchecking that Achievements may be used), you will get a notification indicating how many Strava links and achievements will be removed.Turning off Achievements can be useful for resetting mileage back to zero, for example, in a challenge that lasts a month and has a certain start date. However, in such a case, it is important to inform the fundraisers. Their previous Achievements and target mileage will be removed, so they need to reconnect with Strava.VisibilityIf you turn off the 'Show the number of kilometres travelled on the page' button, no total kilometres will be shown with the donation counter. This can be useful if you don't want to show the final result of the challenge yet, or if the total number of kilometres is irrelevant at that location. You can only set this at Website and Sub site level. Excel fileIf you create an export of all Fundraiser pages and use the performance tracker, the export will have four related columns. The columns are Target Distance, Distance Traveled (km), Distance Traveled (%) and Achievements Source. Distance travelled (%) shows the percentage to which the target distance was achieved. At Achievements Source you can see in what way(s) achievements have been added.Target distance reached emailIf you have achieved the target distance, an automatic email will be sent (provided it is on). This looks as follows:You can customise the mail as you wish via Emails > Email overview > Fundraisers > Performance goal of the fundraiser has been reached. Achievements in the spotlightFundraisers can only find Achievements when they log in to their personal dashboard. It is not shown during the creation of a Fundraising page, so it is important to bring it to their attention. Below are several ways you could do this:News releaseIf several Fundraising pages have already been created and you want to reach out to the fundraisers, you can do this through a news release. You can create and publish a news release and you can choose to share the message with the existing fundraisers. That way, you can make them aware of the new functionality!Menu page explaining AchievementsYou can also create a Menu page explaining how Achievements work and how you use the functionality. You could also refer to this in the automatic emails or in a news item. Do you get questions from fundraisers about Achievements? Then include these in a frequently asked questions block!Automatic email The best way to make new fundraisers aware of the Achievements is via an email that every fundraiser receives. In it, point them to the possibilities of adding Achievements. You can choose to include Achievements in the email sent to fundraisers after they create their page, but also, for example, the email sent three days after creating a fundraising page. Would you like an example text for an automatic mail or Menu page? Then click here for a PDF file with texts and screenshots you could use! You can also create a news item based on this. We can turn on Achievements directly for all our generic templates. If you would like to have this feature turned on, please create a new support ticket and we will enable the functionality. If you also send us the Client ID and Client Secret, we can link to Strava directly. 

You can register as an individual through the sign-up flow and then you will have a separate fundraising page. You can add news items here and edit your fundraising page.You may also register as a team member. For that, you also create an fundraiser, but then the fundraiser is linked to the team and the revenues count for the team.Watch the video on managing fundraisers here, or read more about specific sections below.00:00 - Welcome00:27 - Download overview fundraisers01:40 - Adjust a page02:33 - Adjust my subscription03:14 - Manually adding a fundraise page04:58 - Change the owner of a page06:30 - Move fundraiser07:29 - Other optionsArticle contentFeatures fundraisersManagement of fundraisersMoving fundraisersManually adding fundraisersEmails to fundraisers  Feature fundraisersAn fundraiser always has one ownerAn fundraiser is always linked to a user, which is the owner of the fundraiser.

However, a user may have several fundraisers.An fundraiser can close and reopen an fundraiser himselfThe latter can only be done if it is possible to start an fundraiser at that time.You can move or assign an fundraiser to someone else afterwardsThis can only be done by a site administrator. Management of fundraisersWhen an fundraiser logs in, he/she enters the dashboard directly to edit his/her fundraising page. If the fundraiser has multiple fundraisers, there is a drop-down menu in front of it to choose which fundraiser he/she wants to edit. As site administrator, you can edit an fundraiser by looking it up in the fundraiser overview. You then click on the pencil icon to enter the fundraiser management. There you have the following options:My pageMotivationChange fundraiser name, fundraiser title, description, fundraiser url and number of participations (only an administrator can change the number of participations)Photos and videosAdd photos and videos to be placed on the fundraising pageSponsor logosAdd sponsor logos that will appear with the fundraiser BlogHere, an fundraiser can post his or her own Blog about his or her fundraiser. People who have indicated that they want to be kept informed will receive a notification about this.AgendaHere, fundraisers can organise their own fun things and put them in the agenda. People can then also donate to itSettingsClose pageAn fundraiser (or a site administrator) can close the fundraiser here. A closed fundraiser can be reopened (provided it is currently possible to start an fundraiser at that level) by the fundraiser or site administrator. Once an fundraiser is closed, it can no longer be donated to. If an fundraiser hangs below a project and that project is closed, all underlying fundraisers are also closed at the same time.Target amountHere, an fundraiser can adjust his/her target amount. This cannot be later than the minimum target amount set at that level.Countdown dateHere you can change the countdown date for the fundraiser. You will only see this option if it is possible to set a countdown date for the fundraiser and if the level the fundraiser falls under does not have a countdown date set.PSP description (not visible to fundraisers)Here, administrators can change the PSP description of an fundraiser.Additional description (not visible to fundraisers)Here, administrators can change the additional description of an fundraiser.DonationsDonations overviewHere you can see the donations made to this fundraiser.

You can then easily move the fundraiser back to the right place:You go to the fundraisers overview and click on the three dots and then on moveThen find the place you want to move the fundraiser to and click move.Manually adding fundraisersYou can also add fundraisers manually. You can do this by going to where you want to add the fundraiser and then going to fundraisers. Then click (top right) on add.Then select the owner. If it is already known, search for it in the search screen. Otherwise, click on Add account.You will then first create a new account, to which the fundraiser will be linkedYou then fill in the fundraiser details and the fundraiser is created.If an fundraiser is created via the dashboard, no e-mails are sent. You can still send a welcome e-mail yourself from the fundraiser overview by clicking on the three dots > Send welcome e-mail again. Also, no mail to set your password is sent to accounts created via the dashboard. You can send those manually via Accounts > Users > Send password. Or can be requested at the frontend via Forgot password. Emails to fundraisersThe following mails are linked to fundraisers:Welcome e-mail after creating fundraiserYou can set this based on the number of previous participations. You can also send this e-mail later by clicking on the three dots > Send welcome e-mail again from the fundraiser overview.Welcome e-mail after joining the teamThis is sent when you register as a team member. You can also set the mail based on the number of previous participations.Donation receivedThis is sent after a donation is made directly to the fundraiserTeam has received a donationThis is sent when donating directly to the team (i.e. not to a team member)Reminder after pledging donationThis is sent x days after pledging a donation. Committed donations are donations you can make on the mobile view by clicking 'pay later'. That functionality can be turned off. The mail can be copied and then the number of days can be adjusted.No donations receivedBy default, this mail is sent after 14 days, but that number can be adjusted. And is only sent if no donations have yet been received.Target amount of the fundraiser has been reachedThis mail is sent based on a percentage of the target amount. You can copy the mail and then set your own percentage. If you have set multiple mails to be achieved with a single donation, only the mail that meets the highest condition will go off. For example, if you have set an email at 30% and at 60% of your target amount, and a donation comes in which you raise 100% of your target amount all at once, only the email at 60% will go off.Tip e-mail after registrationThis mail is also copyable and will be sent x days after creating the fundraiser.The set countdown date will soon be reachedThis mail goes off x days before the countdown date is reached. You can copy the mail.Personalise your fundraiser with an imageThis mail is sent x days after creating the fundraiser if no fundraiser picture has been uploaded. You can copy this mail.Retrieved more than set amountThis mail is sent based on a set amount. You can copy the mail and then set your own amount. If you have set multiple mails to be achieved with a single donation, only the mail that meets the highest condition will go off.Team raised more than set amountThis mail is sent based on a set amount. When the team total reaches that, the mail goes off. You can copy the mail and then set your own number. If you have set multiple mails that are achieved with a single donation, only the mail that meets the highest condition will go off.Project is closed by project managerThis mail goes off when a project is closed. All underlying fundraisers are then informed of this (provided this mail is on). So pay attention to this before closing a project.News item addedIf you add a news item, you can choose to share it with all fundraisers directly below that level. They will then receive news of this.Performance goal of the fundraiser has been achievedThis mail is linked to the performance tracker. If this goal is achieved in its entirety, this mail goes off.

It may happen that people want to register, for example for an event, but do not want to create a separate Fundraising page for this purpose. In such a case, you can set the sponsor page to be optional. You set this up by going to the level where you want to set this up and then going to Settings > Fundraising page optional and choosing to make Fundraising page optional there. In the Sign up flow, the step where you create the Fundraising page will have a slider:If you create the action page, the slider will appear at the step where you create the action page.If you then click this slider you can continue without creating a Fundraising page:After completing the registration, the participant will receive the 'Welcome email after signing up participant'. If he/she has joined a team then he/she will receive the 'Welcome email after joining team'. If E-tickets are used then the participant will also receive the e-tickets. A participant will appear as 'registration' in the action overview after completing the registration:A participant can still create a sponsorship page if desired, by going to 'My Registration' and clicking on 'Create a sponsorship page'.On the platform, you can see the participants by going to the Overview of Participants. That defaults to /participants.

The retention functionality involves asking the action starter/participant how many times he or she has participated before. Based on this, you can set a different target amount, send other emails based on the number of participations and add a badge on the campaign page. This is particularly useful for events organised annually, for example.Content of articleSet EditionsDefault target amount depending on number of participationsWelcome email - Welcome back!Badges - Make it visible to everyone Set EditionsVia Settings > Editions you can set the edition for each level (website, Sub site, Campaigns). You first set the edition:Here is no erving. If you set the 7th Edition at the website level, this will not be transferred to an underlying Campaign. So there you still have to set it manually.After setting this, an additional mandatory question will appear in the Sign up flow:Then, based on the given number of previous participations, other functions can be triggered:Default target amount depending on number of participationsDepending on the number chosen, the proposed target amount may varyëren.Example: If you join for the first time, the minimum target amount is €300. If you are participating in this event for the second time or more, the minimum target amount is €250.This can be set at the level where people can register, under Settings > Target amounts. There you can choose a target amount depending on the number of entries. This way, you can allow participants who have already raised a very high amount once to raise a lower minimum amount next time. In practice, you then often see that they still raise a nice amount, while the threshold to participate again and ask for an amount is lower. Welcome email - Welcome back!A different welcome e-mail can be sent based on the number of participants. This allows you to address the participant with a different tone if he has participated before or if he has participated in all Editions. Badges - Make it visible to everyoneIn the media (image/video) on the Fundraising page, you can display a badge for x participations. So you can overlay an image over the media, for example a crown or medal. This makes it visible to everyone on the site that someone has already participated several times! See also the support article Badges for some examples.Would you like to use the retention functionality? Just contact us, and we'll be happy to turn it on for you and then you can set the Editions for each level yourself. 

You can limit the number of fundraisers that can be created via Settings > Maximum fundraising pages. You can set this per level (website level, sub site level, campaign level). If you then want to create an fundraisers and move over the button, you will see how many spots are still available.The moment there are no more spots, you cannot click the button and it will be greyed out:Note: This setting does not go together with activities. This is because you can also set a limit on activities. In case you want to set activities and there is already a maximum number of fundraising pages set, you get the message "The limit on the maximum number of fundraising pages is cleared.". After that, you won't see the menu item max number of fundraising pages until the activities are turned off at that level. If you work with activities and you want to set a maximum number of fundraising pages across all your activities (otherwise you could set it per activity), it's best to keep track of this manually and block fundraisers triggering at some point.

Ticketing via the webshop (“Ticketing”)Are you organising an event that requires tickets for attendees? If so, our webshop's ticketing feature could be the perfect solution. This feature allows you to create tickets automatically for your campaign, allowing you to stay organised and ready for your event.Features:This feature allows you to:Create varied ticket types based on cost.Register the data of the person who buy the tickets, also for future communications.Manage ticket availability and the maximum tickets that a supporter can purchase (this can be more than one if needed). During the event, easily track who is attending, and report the final attendance of the event in one click.Scan ticket during the event, and also add volunteers who can help with scanningTo activate this feature, let’s go through the steps to enable this:Enable e-tickets with the webshopFirst of all, check if the “E-tickets” and “Webshop” features are enabled in the left bar of your platform.Then, check if it's possible to turn off the creation of the fundraising page under Settings → Fundraising page.If this is not possible, please contact iRaiser support. We will check if the feature is included in your plan and then activate it for you.Create your ticket(s)To add a ticket item, go to Dashboard > Webshop > Catalog. From there, enable the webshop, add a new item, and select the 'ticket' option. You can then give the ticket a name and an amount. If it's a free ticket, simply enter "0."Additionally, you can indicate availability and set an order limit. This way, you maintain control over the number of available tickets. For example, you could create a ticket with 250 spots available, and allow a single buyer to order only four of them.You can, of course, create more than one type of ticket, with different availability and order limits for each.We also recommend adding an image; this makes the ticket visually recognizable in the registration flow. If a ticket is sold out, it will be grayed out. If it is the only type of ticket available, it will disappear completely from the registration flow.Remember to check where the tickets are available to supporters. If you create a ticket at the website level and make it available in a campaign, that ticket can be sold at both layers. Availability will be influenced by both: if there are 100 tickets available and one is bought at either the website or campaign layer, then there will be 99 tickets available for the next purchase, regardless of whether it happens on the website or in the campaign.Set up the “Sign up flow”The Sign up flow is the process a person goes through to register on the platform. In this case, it's for purchasing tickets. Let’s see how to create a simple registration flow for ticket purchase.Turn “Create a fundraising page off”On Community Fundraising Platform, by default, the person who registers is asked to create a fundraising page. For ticket purchases, we may not want them to create a page, so we need to go to Settings → Fundraising page, and then select “off”.Disable (or not) the “Start Donation”During the sign-up flow, you may ask people to make an additional, optional donation. If you don't want to add this step to make the ticket purchase even more straightforward, go to Settings → Start donation and uncheck that option.Customize the Sign up flowIt’s time to manage the steps of the registration process. Go to Settings → Sign up flow.If your website has different registration options (individual, team, etc.), you can turn them off for this layer where you want to sell tickets. We also suggest “show webshop” as the first step, so that the available tickets are the first thing presented, even before asking for registration data.You can then customize the text shown in every step of the flow on the left hand side: click on the second tab, “Sign up flow”, and then on “edit” corresponding to the step you want to modify.Remember that you can also customize the “Thank you page”, which is the page displayed after tickets are purchased. You can add text to reassure the buyer and build excitement for the event. For example: "Thank you for purchasing your tickets! You'll find them in your email in a few minutes. We're looking forward to seeing you at the event!"In the last tab, “Texts”, you can customize the registration button with a more event-related call to action, like “Reserve your place” or “Buy tickets”.EmailsOnce a client purchases tickets, they will receive related emails. The most important one will contain the PDF of the tickets attached, with one PDF per ticket.A single ticket will look like this:Note:The time it takes to generate them is proportional to the number of tickets. If only one ticket needs to be generated, it will take a few seconds. If 10 tickets need to be generated, the email will take a little longer to be sent.There are three emails to consider when enabling the ticketing system:“Set your password”: This is the standard email sent to any new user creating an account on the platform.In the email section of the layer where you created the tickets, you can then find the “participant” section.Here you may want to customize:Welcome email new participant: This is the email the purchaser will receive just after they have signed up for the event. Thank you mail for webshop ticket(s) order: This is the email with the various tickets attached. If the purchaser buys new tickets, they will receive another email like this one with the new tickets.Managing event attendanceOnce the event begins, you may want to manage the attendees. Each ticket has a QR code and a unique code on it.By clicking on E-tickets → E-tickets webshop → Overview, you will find the complete list of all the tickets generated. You can search for them by purchaser name or ID.You can even scan the QR code with your  camera (by clicking on the icon in the top right corner of the page), or create “scanner” users. Those are specific users that are only allowed to scan the tickets (they can not download data, they can not modify the contents…). Depending on the level you added them, they can scan tickets from that level. For example when you add a scanner to a specific campaign, they can only scan tickets from that campaign.Differences between tickets from participants and tickets from the webshopIn the Community Fundraising Platform, you might encounter another way to generate tickets: "participant tickets."Both types provide a PDF ticket with a scannable code, but there are some differences in how they can be used.Participant Tickets are primarily designed for events where individuals are asked (or encouraged) to set up a fundraising page and are mainly registering themselves. Marathons or other sporting events are good examples of this. If someone wishes to register more than one person, they will need to go through the registration process individually for each person. The ticket can be sent to the purchaser at a different time than when it was bought.Webshop Tickets, on the other hand, are intended for events where the main focus is simply allowing people to attend the event itself. The purchaser can buy multiple tickets in a single transaction, and the registration process can be significantly simplified by offering the ticket as the first step and removing steps like creating a fundraising page. Tickets are sent right after they're bought.If you are hosting a conference, a gala evening, or a concert, webshop tickets are the ideal choice for you.

You can specify per level (website/Sub site/Campaigns)whether Fundraisers may be started. By default it is on that actions may be started, but via Settings > Disable creation of fundraising pages you can turn this on or off  per level. Now Fundraisers can be started:Now it is not possible to start Fundraisers:
