Sell tickets on your event website using Stripe payment gateway

Less than 5 percent of the people have PayPal account, while more than 95 percent have credit cards. If your event website permits only PayPal, it will mean that most attendees will be unable to pay. In such a case the creation of your event website was pointless. Therefore, a credit card processor is necessary to facilitate all payments and not just PayPal.

We recommend Stripe’s credit card processor because it charges less per transaction fee, is very organizer-friendly, and because we already have an integration built inside Dryfta, for Stripe, just like we have integration for PayPal, Authorize and 2Checkout.

However, Stripe is only available in select few countries right now. So, if you operate out of a Non-Stripe country, here’s our suggestion:

If you or your acquaintance has a bank account and a physical business address in any of the following countries mentioned below, you can open a Stripe account and once activated, you will enter the provided credentials into Dryfta which will allow you to accept Credit Card payments on your Dryfta-powered event website. All your collected payments will be directly transferred to your bank account in that country.

Build Event Registration Forms Faster with updated Form Builder

In our last update, we have added a few important features to the platform viz. Option to add Multi-level drop down navigation menus, Abstract Rating filter to filter abstracts by its overall average rating, and some more.

But amongst all the updates, the most important was the Drag and Drop feature in Form builder, Page Labels and Widgets Manager. Earlier, to order items, one has to enter synchronised numbers so an item numbered 1 comes before the item numbered 2, and item numbered 6 should go after item numbered 5, and so on. That, we figured, involved too much Mathematics and was taking a lot of toll on an already busy brain! Thus, Drag & Drop feature.

This, hopefully, will make it much easier now to arrange fields, pages and widgets. Give it a try and let us know if you love the new updates!

event-platform-programming-conferences

For most event organizers, it is a very common approach to set up an event management platform using a smorgasbord of tools viz. WordPress, Eventbrite, OpenCFP and Mailchimp. But what would it be like if you could have used these tools from a single platform, all fully integrated with one another, making for a seamless data flow among each other. This is exactly the pain point Dryfta event platform solves.

These decisions are what is going to make your event a success.

 

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.

multiple-forms-pagebreak-Dryfta-registration

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!

no-hold-on-funds-Dryfta_event-platform

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?

event-platform-apps-integration

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

dryfta-event-platform

 

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.
