Require Advance Notice For Event Registrations
You may want to require advance notice for online registrations to your events or limit last minute sign-ups. Occasion makes it easy to require advance notice and stop online registrations at a set time before the event.
This is an advanced feature so please follow these instructions closely when setting it up.
There are two types to advance notices:
- Stop online registrations an amount of time before an event starts
Example: Stop online sales 4 days before an event starts - Stop online registrations at a specific time on the day of the event
Example: Stop online sales at 3pm on the day of the event.
Stop online registrations an amount of time before an event starts
- When editing an event, go to the "Timeslots" or "Dates and Times" tab.
- Look for the "Hide Timeslot" section and turn the switch "On".
- Select the first option, "Hide timeslots an amount of time before it starts", and adjust the hours, minutes or days before the event you'd like registrations to close.
- Click anywhere to save changes
