When hosting a private event it’s important to choose an “Invitation” Access Type that creates the right registration process for your attendees. Below is a list of all of the available options:
- Invite to RSVP (FCFS)
- Invite to RSVP
- Invite to Purchase (FCFS)
- Invite to Purchase
Invite to RSVP (FCFS) and Invite to RSVP: Directs guests to their registration form to confirm or decline RSVP. Invite to RSVP (FCFS) is our most commonly used (and recommend) Access Type as most organizers would like to know who on their Guest List declined their invitation. Additionally, if Editable RSVP Responses is enabled in Registration Settings under the Registration Experience section of the main menu, these Access Types allow guests to edit their RSVP response.
Invite to Purchase (FCFS) and Invite to Purchase: Directs guests to a landing page that displays the event name, Access Type(s) name, the price to purchase that Access Type (including service fees), and a dropdown to select the number of tickets needed before being directed to their registration form. This event does not collect declinations - if a guest is not interested in attending, they simply do not purchase a ticket to the event.
Note: The number of ticket available for the guest to purchase on the landing page is dependent on the number of tickets allotted to the guest when added to the Guest List.
