Break your Long Event Registration Form into Multiple Short Forms

A long & lengthy event registration form is a major put off and deters attendees from signing up for the event. One way is to refrain from asking too much information upfront during the online event registration. Try limiting your event registration form to basic information only viz. Name, Email address etc. You can always ask them to update their profile later from their dashboard once they have signed up.

However, if it is imperative to collect all the information during the registration process, then you can break the form into multiple pages. This basically means breaking a large form into multiple small forms, connected by next & previous buttons, making it easy for attendees to fill up the form with the required information and proceed to the next form and eventually complete the event registration process.

Dryfta has a Pagebreak button to break your form into multiple pages with option to define form headings and buttons to move back and forth when filling the registration form.

This button is also available for other forms including abstract submission and review submission forms, making it easy for authors and reviewers to submit their papers and reviews respectively. Give it a try!

 

We do not hold your funds

Dryfta is a platform to sell tickets and accept payments directly without any hold whatsoever on your funds.

When using Dryfta to sell your event tickets, your funds go directly to your payment gateway or the merchant account you’re using. All you have to do is sign up for a payment gateway like PayPal or Stripe. Then, add the payment gateway credentials into your Dryfta platform, create the ticket types and registration questions, and you’re good to go!

Whenever a ticket is sold on your event website, the funds go directly to your Stripe or PayPal account or any of the Dryfta-supported payment gateway you’re using. You can then withdraw funds from your merchant account to your bank account anytime you want. The withdrawal process typically takes 2-3 days to transfer your funds to your bank account.

We do not charge a “percentage” on payment transactions except 2 credits per transaction. The cost of 1 credit is 2 USD or less based on the credit pack you choose. That’s it—no other hidden charges.

 

What sets Dryfta apart from other event platforms?

The one unique difference between Dryfta and every other event platform is that Dryfta is built with integration in mind. Over the next few months, we are planning to integrate Dryfta with widely used apps including Salesforce, Mailchimp, WordPress and Quickbooks. We completely understand that the future is about collaboration between platforms. We’ll keep you posted!

 

The Pain Points that Dryfta Solves

A common approach to set up an academic or a nonprofit conference is to use an array of tools, e.g., WordPress, Eventbrite, Easychair, and Mailchimp. Then put your staff into multi-tasking mode and try to get your event off the ground.

What would it be like if you could access all of these features from a single platform, all fully integrated, making for a seamless, unified data flow? Dryfta event platform solves this issue of unstructured data flow caused primarily due to using one too many tools by offering a set of fully-integrated tools. Let’s see how Dryfta stacks up with each of these tools regarding features and functionality.
