Groups such as the American Heart Association, McDonald’s, and Oracle have used PlanetReg for online registration for meetings and conferences. Planners create a custom registration page that can include multiple registration types, discount codes, and capacity controls. Conditional logic allows the planners to show or hide information, depending on the type of attendee. Payment is done through a PayPal account, merchant account, or via check or cash. PlanetReg sends monthly invoices at a rate of 50 cents per checkout and 2 percent of the total checkout amount ($9 maximum). So a $25 checkout would result in a $1 fee. The system supports multiple currencies, and the forms can be translated into several languages.
Former Yahoo event planner Rose Lanham created à la Reg. Planners pay a flat fee of $5 a month to create and manage a custom registration form for events of any size. (There are lower pricing options for planners producing multiple events.) The system offers several registration templates, or users can opt to create one using a drag-and-drop system. There’s also integration with Facebook, custom email options, and a dashboard where planners can monitor registration data. Payments can be handled via PayPal, Authorize.net, or Google Checkout, and the funds go directly to the host's account.
