Credit Card Processing is a Key Component for Online Event Registration

More and more schools ask us how they can set up online registration for events that require some type of payment. Examples of these types of events include Family Fun Night, Italian Night, or Annual Auction.

There are a number of ways that this type of process can be put in place. A school might use their own IT staff to develop a simple system, they might buy such a system from a school-specific vendor, or they might use a generic event registration system. At the core of all these approaches is credit card acceptance and some type of payment gateway. Schools are often faced with many choices and not enough information to identify the most appropriate solution for their organization.

Whether you build your own or use a 3rd party you, need to understand the credit card acceptance components: costs, compatibility with your existing systems, and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Compliance.
