How to Set Up RSVP Event

Example Scenario: You want individual guests of a private event to pay $30 per person and provide their names when signing up for "Acme's Team Building Event".

1. Create the RSVP Template
   1. Log into your Occasion workspace and select "Listings" from the sidebar menu
   2. Click on the "My Templates" tab in the top left.
   3. Search for "Blank Template" and click "Create Listing"

2. Configure the RSVP Listing
   1. Update basic settings:
• Change the title to "RSVP for a Private Party"
• Mark it as Private by selecting the Public switch
3. Configure event details:
   • Add the appropriate time slot under the Time Slots tab
   • Update the maximum availability under the Availability tab
   • Update a fixed Deposit under Additional Pricing (if applicable)
4. Customize questions:
   • Delete any Add-ons questions in the right panel
   • Delete the "Select Number of Attendees" question
   • Scroll down and click on "Add Question" and select the "Text Input (single line)" question
   • Set Title as "Number of Guests" and make it required

You, as the Merchant, will receive an email to tell you how many customers booked this event. Keep this in mind.

5. Now create your event called "Acme's Team Building Event" (or if it already exists, Edit the Listing)
   1. Add the appropriate time slot under the Time Slots tab
   2. Do not add a deposit.
   3. Update the maximum availability based on the email sign ups from the "RSVP for a Private Party" Listing you just created
   4. On the right panel, add a Question called "Fixed attendee question" and type "Select Number of People" with a price at $30 per person
   5. Add-ons can be included here
   6. Under the Peoples tab, check the "First Name" and "Last Name" and click "Save"
6. At the top right of the Listing Editor, you can click "Publish" to get the link to the Private Event, to then share this with each attendee, to allow them to select any add-ons and pay for their own ticket.
