Paying for Your Registration

Some events have a registration fee. When you register your family, the system automatically calculates your total based on the current pricing and any optional items you select. This guide walks through how pricing works, what to expect during registration, and how to pay.

How Pricing Works

Events with fees use pricing tiers that may change based on when you register. For example, an event might offer:

Early Bird — a lower rate available before a certain date
Standard — the regular rate
Late Registration — a higher rate for last-minute sign-ups

The system automatically selects the tier that applies based on today's date. You'll see the per-person rate on the registration form — there's nothing you need to do to select a tier.

Tip

Registering early usually saves money. Check the event page to see if early bird pricing is available and when the deadline is.

Selecting Add-Ons

During registration, you may see optional add-ons like t-shirts, snack packs, or photo packages. These are extras you can choose to purchase alongside your registration.

Browse available add-ons

The add-on section appears during registration after you've selected your children. Each item shows its name, price, and any available options (like t-shirt sizes).

Select items and options

For items with size or type variants, choose the option you want from the dropdown. Some items have a quantity limit per registration — the form enforces this automatically.

Note

Add-on selections are per registration, not per child. If you're registering multiple children and want a t-shirt for each, select one per child in the appropriate size.

Payment Summary

Before submitting your registration, a payment summary shows the full breakdown of what you owe:

Base cost — per-person rate multiplied by the number of children
Add-on line items — each item with its variant, quantity, and price
Total due — the combined amount
Deposit required — if the event requires a deposit, the minimum amount due now is shown separately

Note

Some events allow you to pay just the deposit at registration and the remaining balance later. Your registration page always shows the current balance so you know what's still owed.

Viewing Your Payments

Your My Registration page tracks all payment activity:

Total due — the full cost including base pricing and add-ons
Amount paid — the sum of all payments (online and manual)
Remaining balance — what's left to pay
Payment history — a list of each payment with date, amount, and method

Tip

If you paid in person (cash or check), the church admin records it on their side. You'll see it reflected in your payment history once they enter it.

Common Questions

Why did my price change?

If the church adjusts a pricing tier or add-on price, the change applies to all existing registrations. Your total due will update to reflect the new rate. If you've already paid, you may see an overpayment credit or an additional balance owed.

Can I change my add-on selections?

You can edit your registration from the My Registration page to add or remove add-ons. Your total will be recalculated automatically.

What if I can't pay online?

Contact the church directly to arrange payment by cash or check. They can record manual payments on your behalf, and you'll see the updated balance on your registration page.
