I was looking for a free event registration website and came across Event Smart. While there is a learning curve they have LOTS of help in place to make things go as easily as possible. I LOVE the flexibility and the fact that I can use whatever payment option works best for me. My registrants had no problem using the system and everything worked out great without all the fees!! THANK YOU Event Smart for filling a much needed niche! – Natalie Acheson

Frequently asked questions about the Authorize.net payment gateway

Do you charge any commission or service fees for each event or each registration?
We do not add any commission fees for your events or your attendee registrations which means that you keep more funds from each registration. Connect your account from Authorize.net to Event Smart and receive payments directly to your Authorize.net merchant account as your attendees register and pay for their event registrations.

How can I set up a recurring payment, payment plan, or a subscription through Authorize.net?
Recurring payments, payment plans, or subscriptions are not currently supported in the Authorize.net feature upgrade. When an attendee pays for their event registration with Authorize.net, they pay up front so, you receive your funds right away.
