Open sign-up, set capacity, take payment, and see who is coming.

  1. Turn registration on

    Open the event → enable registration. Set capacity (or leave unlimited), whether a waitlist is allowed, and how many places one person can take.

  2. Questions and price

    Add questions. If the event has a fee, set the price. Payment goes through the church’s Stripe account — the same Connect account Give uses. A Core-only church can still connect Stripe under Account settings → Payments.

  3. Share the event page

    Copy the public event link. People register without a Sanctuary login. Each registration creates or updates a Core profile.

  4. Work the list

    Core → Registrations (or the event itself) shows who is in, waitlisted, and how many places are left. Capacity is enforced on the server — the page cannot oversell.

  5. Cancel or close

    Turn registration off to stop new sign-ups. Existing registrations stay on the event and on each person’s profile.
