New Button

New Title

Most settings here are checkboxes or short text fields, and almost everything autosaves the moment you change it — you'll see a small "Saving..." pill in the bottom-right confirm. The search box at the top filters across all section cards in real time; type any setting name and irrelevant cards collapse out of view.


What's in each section

  • Common Options. The settings most events touch — use discount codes, allow attendees to return and edit, force descriptions to show, enable file uploads, and other broadly-used toggles.
  • Emails & Notifications. Confirmation email behavior (who gets it, what it says), admin alerts when new registrations come in, from-address overrides.
  • Projects & Communities. Auto-link registrants to Communities or Projects based on the packages or fields they pick.
  • Miscellaneous Options. A grab-bag of behavior toggles — preview mode, registration groups, sign-in agreements, certificate awards, and more.
  • Access Restrictions. Lock the form down by membership status — Members Only Registration, Make Event Invitation Only, restrict to specific member types, board members only.
  • Cross-Reference & Prospects. How registrations flow back into Member or Prospect records — matching, merging, and follow-up automation.
  • Invoice and Payment Options. Payment methods accepted, partial-payment behavior, late fees, pay-by-check details, accounting overrides.


Favorites

Next to every setting on the Advanced Options tab is a small heart icon. Click it to favorite that setting. Favorited settings get pinned to a Favorites block at the top of the General Information tab on every event, so the handful you tweak most are always one click away instead of buried in Advanced Options.


The recommended workflow:


  1. Use Advanced Options for the initial event setup — visit every section card, configure the settings that matter for the event.
  2. Favorite the handful of settings you find yourself changing most often (e.g. the registration cutoff date, the confirmation email subject, capacity warnings).
  3. For subsequent edits, work from the Favorites block on the General Information tab without opening Advanced Options at all.


Favorites are saved per-organization and apply to every event your organization runs. Each user manages their own list independently.


Organization-wide configuration

The global Event Registration configuration page lives at Configuration > Event Registration in the main MemberLeap menu (the exact menu path depends on your organization's permission structure). Settings here apply across every event in your organization and act as defaults for new events you create.



You can also reach the global config from the breadcrumb action bar on most event-registration pages by clicking the Config icon (gear).

 Speed-Swipe Interface

Last Update : August 2026

For usage at simple events (those without any custom fields, discount codes, and more than 2 packages), the speed-swipe interface is designed to be a way to use a USB card reader to quickly process credit card payments for attendees. 

NOTE: Currently only available for organizations using authorize.net as a payment gateway.

The speed-swipe interface is available by a link at the bottom of the attendees-edit list for a given event (where an admin would typically enter attendees). Click on the link and you'll see the first of 2 pages. 

Page 1 - Payment

Page one has two main options - card swipe or cash payment. When the page loads, the cursor is automatically placed in the card swipe field, so for the most part your first action on this page would be to use the card reader and swipe the credit card. The card swipe will processed and will be authorized only for the event package amount.

However, if the person you are processing has cash payment, click on the Record Cash Payment screen. This will allow you to proceed without authorizing a credit card, and assumes that you've received appropriate cash payment.

Page 1 also has a list of the last 5 registrations processed, so if an error was made, you'll be able to easily detect that, and if necessary, go into the registration and correct.

Page 2 - Identification

After page 2, the next step is identification. The last name of the card holder is taken from the card swipe, and used to do a search of the member database to see if there are any matches to a member or prospect. 

If there are any finds, they will show up on the right-side of the page. You may then select the person, and click 'Complete using info from Record Selected'. This will create an event registration, based on the information in that member/prospect record. If credit card was swiped on page 1, this action will capture the authorization (charge the card) and record appropriately in the system. If cash payment was selected on page 1, a cash payment will be recorded.

If there are no finds, you can change the text in the search box in the upper-left to see if you can find the particular attendee in the database.

If the attendee is not in the member/prospect database at all, you have the option to register the attendee on the left-side of the page. This will create a prospect record in the member database, and then create an event registration and record payment as described above for attendees who are in the database.

Members -v- Non-Members

For many events, you may have a price for members or non-members. Speed-swipe will accommodate this. As long as you have 1 package for members and 1 package for non-members, the system will automatically price them accordingly, and you'll see the prices next to their names in the look-up on the right. Those entered as non-members on the left would automatically get the non-member price.
