Note: You will need a subscription to our Events solution to create this type of shop
Follow this step-by-step guide to create a "shop" using our Enthuse Events solution.
Step 1: Event Details
Begin by navigating to the Events platform and clicking Manage Events -> New event
Here is where you'll name your Event
Ensure you select General Registration Event from the dropdown and fill in the rest of the details.
Step 2: Entry Fees
Here's where you'll create a registration form to collect mailing addresses.
Click the box labelled New entry fee
A popup will appear where you can add your shop details
As this is just to collect address details, ensure the Can create/ join team, Team is required, and Join team only toggles are off.
If this is a public shop, ensure visibility is set to public.
Next click the Availability tab and ensure the End sales on date and time match those of your Event/how long you want to sell your shop merchandise for.
Click Save, then click continue at the bottom of the page.
We will come back to edit this form later in the process.
Step 3: Event Branding
This step is where you can add your event banner, pre text and edit the theme (colour scheme) of your event
The optimum size for an event banner is 733 x 260 pixels, and the file must be under 1MB in size.
Pre text will show before the registration form on your event page.
You will also be able to add post text (shows after the register button) and a sponsor logo if applicable.
When you are finished, click continue.
You will always have the option to come back and edit these steps.
Step 4: Event Preferences
As this event is a shop, ensure "My dashboard", "Registrations" and "Transfers" are toggled off, as they are not relevant to creating a shop.
Click continue.
Editing your registration form
Now your event is set up, let's make sure your registration form serves its purpose.
Click Event setup -> Registration forms and click Edit on the form you want to amend.
For shop setups we recommend removing all details other than:
My Details:
First Name
Last Name
Contact Details:
Email
Phone Number
My Address
Note: Discount codes can only be used on paid registrations, not merchandise.
Adding Merchandise
It's time to add Merchandise to the shop.
Click Advanced settings -> Merchandise
Here is where you'll be able to toggle
Enable merchandise sales
Enable stock control
Enable postage required
This is also where you can download your Merchandise Report
Click Add a new product.
Here's where you'll input the info about the product. Don't forget to click Options available to include different sizes.
You can also limit the amount one "entry" can purchase, if you'd like to.
If there is no limit, simply state 0. Click save.
To enable stock control, please toggle 'Enable stock control' then click the 'Edit' button to see the Options available and here you can add quantity (this can sometimes take a few moments to load)
Note: Clicking the plus and minus buttons next to the stock controls, does not always update the stock. We recommend always updating stock controls through the Edit button.
Continue to add as many products as you would like.
Finally, open your event!
