Announcing offline payment modes for event tickets

Announcing offline payment modes for event tickets



Hello everyone,
 
Collecting ticket payments from prospective attendees can be a tricky part of event planning. While Zoho Backstage has always allowed you to collect payments online as people buy tickets from your event microsite, we have now enabled offline payments as well so that you can provide yet another option for your attendees.
 
While online payments may be the new normal, modern methods aren't always the easiest ones, especially if they involve downloading a third-party tool like an app or accessing a certain payment gateway. And some people still don't trust online payments and simply prefer to do things the traditional route. Whatever the reason, it's always good to offer your attendees any option that might make them more likely to purchase a ticket.
 

Add an offline payment mode to your portal

Set up offline payments modes in Backstage by adding them to your portal and pick the ones you want for a specific event. You can also set up offline payment modes for specific events if you prefer.
 

All payment modes you create will be listed in your portal's Settings tab. Pick one of the three payment modes to collect offline payments: through bank transfer, pay by cheque, and pay at the event venue. You can also choose the Others option to add a payment mode apart from the default options given, like pay via ATM, UPI, or other third-party payment tools. For whatever option you pick, you can provide additional instructions to attendees to collect payment. For instance, if you select the Bank transfer option, you could provide the necessary bank account information for people to transmit payments. These details will be emailed to individuals who choose to make an offline payment when they purchase tickets on the event microsite.
 

Recording payments

Track offline payments by recording them in the Tickets tab from the Manage dashboard in Backstage. Simply mark an order as Paid to reflect it in the total revenue made by the event. When you mark an order as paid, attendees will be sent a confirmation email about their ticket being issued. You can choose to issue tickets when the attendee registers to your event on the microsite or upon confirmation of ticket payment from the attendee. This option can be accessed under Advanced settings in the Tickets tab.


 

Event day operations

On event day, set up how you want to allow attendee check-ins. In the Advanced settings tab, turn on the Allow check-in for unpaid offline registrations toggle if you want to enable all attendees, even those who are yet to pay for their tickets, to participate in the event.


 
Offline payments can be disabled for all events in your portal whenever it is not needed. This can be done in your portal settings.
 
Make transactions easier for your event with offline payments. Let us know what you think in the comments below. You can also write to us at support@zohobackstage.com for any product-related questions.
 
Happy organizing!
