“I can’t say enough good about Event Smart”
When I volunteered with the elementary school PTO to help with an event, I had no idea they needed me to build a registration website from scratch, complete with ticket selling and credit card handling. I was at a loss as to where to begin, then one of the moms pointed me to Event Smart. Thank goodness for Event Smart and all the helpful people who are just a shout away with technical support (and they were so very kind about answering every stupid little question I had!). The dreaded website was about as easy to set up as a party invitation through Evite. No kidding. The hardest part was extracting the proper PayPal information out of our finance secretary. I can’t say enough good about Event Smart. What a tool. What support. What wonderful people! Thank you for being there for me. –Yoko Inokuma Bulman

Popular questions about fundraisers and Event Smart
Do I need to be a computer expert to use Event Smart?
You don’t need to be an expert with technology to use Event Smart. Our getting started guide for Event Smart will lead you along the way — from setting your timezone to publishing your first fundraiser.
What kind of fundraisers can I create?
Some of our member favorites are galas, 5ks, auctions, PTA fundraisers, and dances. If you need a way to raise funds by accepting registrations for an event, then Event Smart can help!
I have an existing website. Can I add Event Smart there?
Yes, you can add the Event Smart calendar, events list, and pricing option selector through an embed to any existing website, such as Weebly, Wix, and WordPress.com so an attendee can start their registrations.
I want to allow more than one attendee to register for my fundraiser at a time. Are group registrations available?
Yes! You can allow group registrations by checking the Personal Information question group for additional registrants through the lower right area of the event editor on your Event Smart website and then saving changes.
Will my attendees receive a ticket after registering?
Yes, your attendees will receive a ticket after their registrations as long as you have the ticketing upgrade on your Event Smart website. The Ticketing upgrade is included in the Business plan or it can be added a la carte to the Personal or Basic plan.
Can I accept donations alongside registration fees?
Yes, you can create donation options that can be selected while a guest is registering for an event. Accepting donations will let you receive contributions even if a guest can’t make it to the event and this will help your organization reach its fundraising goals quicker. Here is a video tutorial on how to create an event that has optional donation options.
How will I collect payments from attendees that register for my fundraiser?
For accepting online payments, you’ll partner with a secure payment service like Stripe, Authorize.net, Braintree, PayPal, or another supported payment service. This means that you’ll enter your credentials for the payment service in your Event Smart settings and then you will receive those funds for each paid registration to your merchant account.

“Event Smart proved to be a great choice for my event”
I chose Event Smart after extensively researching other overpriced options. Event Smart proved to be a great choice for my event. I needed to provide three different ticketing options for my school’s fundraiser. The Event Smart support team was there every step of the way to answer all my questions. The add-on features that I chose were helpful and affordable. I would choose Event Smart again. –Irene Henkens
