Online vs Offline sales

Before starting

When you create a membership/donation campaign, an event, or add an item to your store, you are able to choose between two registration types: online or offline. 

This article deals with the following topics: 

• Online sales
• Offline sales

Online sales

When you choose online sales, your campaign, event, or item will be published on the website, or accessible via a URL link.

To publish it online, you should choose to Enable online registrations (or the equivalent for the chosen type of campaign) under the Configuration tab.  

Those who have access to the offer (which depends on whether they are part of your community or not) will be able to register and pay by choosing from the payment methods offered.

You will find the registration and information about them in the relevant participant's tab (e.g. Attendees for Events).

Main advantages

• The person completes the registration form by themselves. 
• The administrator can also manually add a person.
• Online payment is possible.
• The publication can be via a link or on a page of the website. 

Offline sales 

Offline sales will allow you to manage your campaigns, events, or store on your side by manually adding members, participants, or buyers. 

Under the Configuration tab, select No online registration (or the equivalent for the chosen type of campaign). 

By selecting this option, registrations will only be made if the administrator adds them manually under the Attendees (or equivalent) tab. 

Main advantage

This allows you to keep control of the registration process while also benefiting from a better way to follow up if needed.
