If you're planning to run a large, in-person Event, consider enabling the Galas & Events feature. You'll get access to features that are specifically designed to help you manage every detail with less staff, training, and effort.
What features are included in Galas & Events?
Pre-Registration
Pre-registration allows donors to create an account and save a payment method before your Event starts. This speeds up the check-in process and allows attendees to quickly make donations or purchases without having to enter their payment method each time:
QR Code Check-In
If you enable QR code check-in, each attendee will receive a QR code that you can easily scan for speedy check-in:
Event Balances and Guest Numbers
Event Balances allow attendees to make purchases, bids, and donations throughout an Event and then pay for everything when the Event ends. Each donor receives a unique ID number for easy tracking and lookup. You can also add, edit, or remove any charges, all from the same platform.
Paddle Raises and Live Auctions
Use our Paddle Raise feature to run traditional fund-a-needs, or get creative and use it to run live Auctions or spotlight desirable items:
You can set your Paddle Raise so only in-person guests can participate, or open it up to virtual guests as well. When an attendee makes a bid or gives a donation, spotters can use their Guest Number to add it to their Event Balance.
