Admission charge

Select “admission charge” or “optional charges” radio button to show payment options.

Specify “Pricing” levels. Note that you can have multiple price levels.

Specify who qualifies for a given price level based on association with IEEE or member grade. As an example, you can provide discounted pricing to IEEE members with deepest discount offered to IEEE student members. Registrants will be required to provide their member number to qualify for the discounted price level. The system will use the member number to check the registrant’s member status (active/inactive) and current member grade.

Specify the fee level effective dates. This optional feature can be used to offer discounts for early registrations. You can set both start and end dates, just a start date, or just an end date.

Admission charge – Pricing levels

Specify “Time of payment.” You can use this setting to require users to pay before they can register, or give them an option to bring a check or cash to the meeting.

Specify if this registration fee is optional, for example if you are collecting payments for an optional dinner.

Specify if you allow refunds and set an optional deadline after which refund requests won’t be accepted. If you allow refunds, the system will show a message advising registrants that refunds can be requested by emailing the meeting organizer. If you leave this checkbox un-checked, the registrants will be advised that there are no refunds.
