Registration fee
Last modified: 21-08-2025When 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.

Add registration fee
Settings ⟶ registration fee
The 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 fee
Settings ⟶ Registration fee
By 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.
Frequently asked questions
Yes this is possible and can be useful for an early bird promotion, for example.
No, registration fees must always be paid in the registration flow at the 'front end'. In the dashboard, participants can be added without paying a registration fee.
Here, the coupons function might come in handy. You can send this fundraiser a discount code with 100% discount on the registration fee. When the fundraiser enters this code, the registration fee is nullified in the total overview (in the registration flow).
For more information, check out our article on coupons.
By creating a fundraising page s a site administrator via the dashboard, there is also no registration fee to pay but then no registration fee option is registered/committed.
No, the entry fee is considered a donation but cannot be moved. This is because the entry fee is closely linked to the fundraising page. The same applies to an entry fee-donation combination that may occur in the sign-up flow (by entry fee + a start-up donation).
As soon as a registration fee is added to a registration flow, the fundraiser is always obliged to make a choice in order to continue the registration. However, it has been made possible to create a registration fee option of 0,- euro. This can help, for instance, to let a certain target group (e.g. members or returning users) through in the registration flow without giving them an obligation.
If you create a fundraising page with an entry fee attached, this will be stored with your fundraising page. If you remove or adjust the entry fee afterwards, this has no impact on previous entries. You will simply see the old entry fee paid earlier.

Activities
With the activities module, a (mandatory) choice question can be added in the registration flow. For example, a list of distances or registration options from which the fundraiser must choose, or the question of what kind of fundraiser it concerns. Content:Add activitiesSelecting and using activitiesShowing/not showing selected activity1. Add activitiesSettings ⟶ Activity listBefore you start, you will first need to add activities to the overall list of activities. Think of this as a kind of library where all activities are listed and you can choose which of them you want to use per site, sub site or campaign.2. Selecting and using activitiesAt site level, per sub site and per campaign, you can configure activities for use. This configuration consists of 2 parts: selecting activities and using activities.2.1 Selecting activitiesSettings ⟶ ActivitiesThe first part consists of choosing the activities from which the fundraiser can choose. At site level, this allows you to choose from the full list of activities. At sub site and campaign level, a thinned list may be visible, depending on the configuration below. A maximum number of participants can also be specified for each selected activity.2.2 Using activitiesSettings ⟶ ActivitiesUnder the Use activities heading, you determine how the activities are deployed. First, you determine how the activities should behave on This page. Then you determine it for Underlying levels.Example: at the site level, one can start a general fundraiser and no activity needs to be selected, then on This page"No, there is no need to select.... " is selected. If on underlying campaigns one does need to select an activity, one of the "Yes" options is selected at Underlying levels. Both Yes options determine that an activity must be chosen on these underlying campaigns and can still be chosen which set of activities is shown to the fundraiser.Here you determine whether fundraisers below the current level should choose an activity.You can choose to tick that Fundraisers can edit their activity themselves. They can then modify it under my registration. This is only possible if there is space available at the new activity. The moment the activity is modified, the old activity is released again.You then choose here what fundraisers get to see on the underlying levels (sub sites and/or campaigns).Example scenario - You include the Dam tot Damloop event in the website and people can register for this at 2 distances: the half and full marathon. You include these 2 distances as activities in the Activities list (at website level). Then manage the Dam tot Damloop, go to Settings > Activities and tick the 2 distances. You indicate that all fundraisers directly below this page must choose an activity. You indicate that fundraisers may change their activity themselves. Two weeks before the event, turn off the option that people may change their activity themselves.3. Showing/not showing selected activityThe selected activity is displayed in several places. You can choose whether this is desirable or not. These are the following places:On the team page / in the registration flowOnce a team captain has chosen an activity himself, it is displayed on the team page. It is also displayed in the sign-up flow once an fundraiser wants to join the team. At the step to choose the activity, it is displayed which activity was chosen by the team captain to make the choice easier.This option can be turned off when setting up activities, via Settings > Activities.On the fundraiser pageIndividual fundraisers also automatically show on their fundraising page which activity they have chosen. Is this not entirely applicable? Let a iRaiser staff member know and we will make this choice invisible across the entire website on the fundraising page.
Webshop
If you would like to learn more about the feature for creating e-tickets via the webshop, click here.If you would like to know how to submit items for purchase, continue reading this article.Would you like to offer a T-shirt, medal or other goodie to everyone who starts an action on your website? 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.

Default action and team settings
Settings ⟶ Default fundraising page settingsCreativity is not given to everyone. And not everyone has the patience to come up with their own texts or upload their own photo in the submission flow either. Give the user a hand by already filling in a title, description or photo! Participants who just want to join in don't have to face unnecessary barriers, which improves conversion. But participants who want to actively manage their own fundraiser can still fill in their own picture, title and description. Changing default fundraiser settingsChange fundraiser pictureClick on Upload fundraiser photoSelect the location of the photoIf an activist has not uploaded a photo then this photo will be shown by defaultChange default fundraiser titleEnter the fundraiser title you want to usePress saveThis title appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Change default fundraiser descriptionEnter the description you want to usePress saveThis description appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Settings ⟶ Default team settingsChanging default team settingsTexts can also already be entered before creating a team. The default team settings involve the default team title and description. All of this is to speed through the sign-up flow, and the user can then choose to keep this text or give it their own interpretation.We have now made this option available for teams too! You can enter a default team title and description.Change default team titleEnter the team title you want to usePress saveThis title appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Change default team descriptionEnter the description you want to usePress saveThis description appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Cap on number of team membersIf you have an event where you have a maximum number of team members, you can set this via Settings > Default fundraising page settings. All teams that are then created may have a maximum of that set number of members.You can set a maximum via Team members limit via Settings > Default team settingsIf you choose "Yes, I want to specify a limit for teams under this page." then you can set the maximum number of team members there. The fundraiser who is himself a team captain also counts as an fundraiser.After activation, any limits set by the team captain will be overwritten. However, if you reset it at a later time, the previously set limit will also be reset.Existing teams that already have more members than your set maximum will remain intact. Suppose you have a team of 6 people, and you set a maximum of 4 people per team over the entire campaign, then that team will keep those six people. Therefore, make sure that you have set it up properly beforehand. This can be done by a site administrator, sub site administrator, and campaign administrator.The option 'allow team members' disappears the moment you set a maximum number of team members over a certain level. A team captain can therefore no longer set the maximum himselfYou can set the cap at site level, sub site level and campaign level and there is no inheritance in it (so it is only for that level).Can't figure it out? please contact us!
Fundraising page optional
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.
Fundraisers
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.

Documents
Participants may need to be able to upload a medical certificate for a particular event to show that they can participate. Or perhaps have to specifically sign and send another document.Upload documentsThis can be conveniently done via Documents. Via Settings > Upload documents you can indicate whether documents should be uploaded after registration. You can indicate here in the Description what should be uploaded:Mails about documentsFundraisers are then asked to upload their documents. For new registrations, the mail to fundraisers "Request documents to upload after registering participant" is sent. By default, the two mails below are also still on:You can turn it off if necessary or adjust the number of days via the copy icon.Upload documentsIn the mails there is a link to go to 'my registration'. This requires the fundraiser to log in and click on 'My registration'. A notification is displayed at the top that documents still need to beüpload:Below, the fundraiser can upload his documents:The text from the Description will appear above 'Upload file'.After uploading the file, it will look like this: Controlling documentsIf mail to site administrator 'Document(s) uploaded' is on, the site administrator will receive a message after an fundraiser has uploaded documents. In that mail is a link to go directly to the correct page.You can also go to the Overview of Fundraisers to see if that the fundraisers have already uploaded their documents:You have these icons:No document(s) uploadedNo document(s) uploaded, not checkedDocument(s) approvedIf you then manage the fundraising page and go to 'My Registration' you can check the documents.

These are the columns:Number of documentsDocuments approved
Sign up flow for companies
Business registration allows one to reserve and checkout spots for an event in ééone time for several colleagues.The default options for signing up for an event are:-individual-team-team memberBut what if a company wants to sign up, reserving and paying for a number of places right away? And that no other people can sign up on their company page. For this, the special Sign up flow for Companies is available! This functionality can be turned on or off by iRaiser per website. Article content:Company packagesSpecific Number of EntriesCompany determines number of registrationsAdd company package to Sign up flowSign up flow companyMail after registrationManually create a companySign up flow actionsWorkflow in combination with activity moduleDashboardCompanies and Fundraisers See the video explaining how it works here:00:00 - Welcome00:27 - Start with the company's feature01:06 - Create a company package02:45 - Setup sign up flow for the use of companies03:08 - Walking through the sign up flow for companies05:30 - Add additional team members05:57 - Manually adding a company Company packagesThe Sign up flow for companies works on the basis of ééone or more Company packages. A company package can be a specific number of registration certificates, or it can be a number specified by the company itself. Items can be added to a package as desired, such as promotional items, t-shirts etc. For example, you can create a bronze, silver and gold package. In order to use the Sign up flow for companies, at least ééone company package has to be created. You go to the place in the platform where you want to add it (e.g. directly under the website, or at a certain Campaign) and go to Settings > Company packages. Then click on Add Company packages and you will come to this screen: You have two choices:Specific number of entriesCompany determines number of entriesSpecific number of tendersWith this choice, the content of the package is fixed. For example, a company package where you purchase 10 places. Here you enter the following:Title of the packageDescription of the contents of the packageNumber of registration placesTotal amount for the package (this amount can also be 0 euro)Company determines number of subscription spacesHere the price per spot is fixed, but the company decides how many spots they want to reserve and settle.You fill in the following per company package:Title of the packageDescription of the contents of the packageAmount to be paid per registration (this amount can also be 0 euro)Add company package to Sign up flowAfter the company package has been created, it is important to add the possibility of company registration to the sign up flow. You do this by going to Settings > Sign up flow (where you want to add this). You can then choose from these options here: Sign up flow companySign up flow looks like this:1. The 'How do you commit' drop-down screen has added the option to sign up as a company2. In the next step, choose a package. If it is a package where there is only an amount per subscription, you also need to enter the number here3. In the step after that, fill in all the company details4. Here you fill in the details of the contact person. This person will also be the manager of the company page5. Next, you create the company page. You upload a logo and fill in the title and motivation and target amount6. Additional questions (optional)You will only see this page if additional questions have been added at company level. Do you want these added? Please contact us at support@kentaa.nl. 7.On the summary page, check all the details entered and then go to the payment screen Mail-after-subscriptionAfter registration you will be sent an email: In that mail is a link that allows someone to sign up directly. One shares this link with colleagues who want to participate and then they can create an action fundraising page right away! This link can also be found in the admin dashboard.Manually create a companyYou can also add Companies manually from the dashboard. You do this by going to where you can add the company (e.g. on a particular Campaign). Then click Companies and then Add. If you don't see this option, please contact support@kentaa.nl. If so, the functionality still needs to be turned on.Next, fill in all the fields you would normally have had to fill in as well. The fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. After filling in and saving, the company is created. No emails are sent when creating the company via the dashboard.Sign up flow actions.The sign up flow for someone creating an action page with such a link looks like this:1. Start sign up flow. Here you can see what you are going to sign up for 2. We're curious to know who you are. This is where you create your profile3. Your personal page. Here you fill in your title and motivation and how much money you want to raise4. Overview page where you can check the data entered. As payment has already been made you can go straight to round up Now a colleague's Fundraising page has been created. A visitor can Donate to that Fundraising page or to the company.Working method in combination with activity moduleWhen the activity module is also used, the company's Sign up flow requests the desired activity. This activity is then applicable to all members within the team. DashboardA new menu item called Companies has been added to the dashboard. All registered companies are listed here. If you click on the 'i' you will see the company's details. Here you will also see the link where people can register. You can also download an Excel file from Overview. Here you can see an example of the output of this. Companies and Fundraisers.An action starter who has signed up through a link (I'll just call these 'Companies Fundraisers' below) can be seen as a regular action (i.e. not created under a company), but there are still a few differences. Here's a summary:You cannot move regular action starters to a Company. Conversely, you cannot move Company Campaigns to (for example) a Campaign. Company actions appear in the Overview of all action starters and also in the export (and api) of all action starters. You will then see some additional columns reflected in the Excel file. See here an example. Do you want to use this functionality? Then get in touch with us! If you have a customised design, the functionality needs to be built in here first.
Webshop e-tickets
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.
Achievements
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.
e-Ticketing
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:
