Packages, extras and donations

A card event can sell more than an entry. Here is where each money tool lives.

Before you start

Checkout add-ons need card payment: on the builder's Registration step choose Open sign-ups, then Card (online). To take cards or online donations, open Settings, tap Payments, then Connect Stripe.

Entry packages and price categories

Golfers pick one under Registration type when they sign up. With no categories, everyone pays the entry fee.

  1. On your event, tap People, then Roster, and scroll to Pricing tiers under Registration setup.
  2. Tap + Add price category. Enter a Name (Member, Guest, Early-bird) and a Price ($). Add an Offered until date for an early-bird price.
  3. For a group package, set Seats per purchase from 2 (Twosome) up to 8. One golfer then signs up the whole group at that price.
  4. Tap Add.

Checkout add-ons

Add-ons are paid by card with the entry; totals show on your roster. Set them on the builder's Registration step, or later under Pricing tiers with + Add checkout add-on.

Choose Mulligan pack, Raffle tickets, Ticket (banquet, reception, guest meal), Extra (like a guest cart), Sponsor package or Donation (any amount). Give each a name, a price and a Max per player. Under Pricing tiers you can also set how many are Available and mark a line Non-refundable.

Sponsorships

Open Money, then Sponsors. Under Sponsorship packages, tap + Package. Add a name, what's included, a price, the number of Spots, a Tier (from Title sponsor to Tee box signage), any playing spots or banquet tickets, and perks, then tap Save package.

Businesses buy from Become a sponsor on your event page, by card or by invoice. Add sponsor puts a logo on the event page and live views.

Donations

  1. On the web, open Money, then Fundraiser.
  2. Turn on Accept donations. This adds a donate page and a Donate button to your event page.
  3. Optionally add a Goal (it shows a thermometer), a Headline, Your story and a cause photo.
  4. Tap Save fundraiser.

Donations are fee-free

Perch takes no fee on donations, whether they come through the donate page, a Donation add-on or Round up for the cause. Round up shows on card registrations once donations are on and rounds the total up to the next $5. The rest of the cart, and sponsorships, carry the standard Perch fee of $4 or 5%, whichever is lower: on registrations it's included in the price golfers see, and on sponsorships it comes out of your payout, so the sponsor pays face value. Pro clubs stop paying it after $1,200 in a calendar year.

Got a check on the day? Log it with Record donation so it counts toward your goal.

Price categories, packages, checkout add-ons and adding sponsor logos need Plus (a new host's free first event at Plus level includes them); sponsorship packages and the fundraiser work on every plan.

Your first event on The Perch is free.
