How to Setup Forms With Dynamic Registration Fees
By default, every form within Sportamingo has a $0.00 fee.
There is no requirement to set a fee to publish a form.
In the Advanced Settings tab of the form editor there is an option titled “Default Price” … you can think of this as a “price floor” or a “starting price” that everybody who submits the form must pay.
The only exception to this rule is if an early bird price is set, which will override the default price, if applicable.
In the last article we discussed How to Add Custom Fields to Forms.
If you create a dropdown list, radio button group or a checklist you will have the option to add a fee to individual options.
This fee, if the option is selected, will increment the total cost your members will be charged when submitting a form.
Please note that if an early bird price is set it will only replace the default price value. There is no impact on custom fields with fees attached to them.
Example #1 - Tryouts
Typically everybody registering for tryouts will pay the same fee.. so we would want to set a default price for the form and ignore the ability to charge fees in custom fields.
Example #2 - Open Gym Series
When clubs run open gym registration on Sportamingo we create a form and add a checklist at the bottom with each of the dates.
We would then add a $5 fee to each individual option..
So if a player checks off 3/4 sessions they’ll be charged $15, whereas a player who selects all four dates will be billed $20.
Example #3 - Summer Camp with Optional Meal Plan
Let’s say we’re running a registration for summer camp at a facility that can supply lunches but they charge an extra fee for doing so.
We would first create a default price (we’ll assume $150) so that everybody is charged that initially.
Then we would add a custom field like a dropdown labeled “Would you like to bring a lunch each day or signup for the meal plan?”
For the “No, thank you. We’ll bring our own lunch option” we’d enter a fee of “0”
For the, “Yes, we’d love the meal plan option!” we’d set that fee as “25”
When your campers are registering, if they select the meal plan option they will be invoiced $175, whereas those who are bringing their lunches will be billed $150.
Step-by-Step Guide + Screenshots
Step #1: Login to Sportamingo
If you are not logged in yet you can click the "Login" button in the top right.
Step #2: Open Club Admin --> Forms
You can find this dropdown menu at the top of the page after logging in. Select the appropriate club and click on "Forms" in the dropdown.
Step #3 - Click "Create" Button
This will open a popup form that will give you two options: "Create From Scratch" (default) or "Create From Library"
The rest of this guide will continue as though we are creating a new form from scratch, just know that you can later save forms as a template and use them to quickly re-create forms and tweak settings, instead of re-inventing the wheel every time.
Step #4 - Select Form Type
This will default to "Registration - Junior Athlete" but you can switch this to "Team Registration - Junior Athletes" if need be.
Step #5 - Enter a Form Label
As you type you will notice that the "Form URL Slug" changes as well. Don't be concerned if this ends up matching a URL you previously used - we can change this later.
Step #6 (optional) - Set Form Slug
Please keep in mind that every form must have a unique URL. If you try to create a form using a URL that is already taken we will block it and give you a heads up.
You are not required to use the auto-suggested URL - if you would like to customize it you can click on the "Form URL Slug" field and modify that value.
Step #7- Click "Create Form" Button
Once we are done building the form we'll re-direct you to the form settings page so you can customize further.
