Do I have to have a ZapEvent account to use PowerZapEvent?
Yes, but when you register PowerZapEvent, a ZapEvent account automatically gets created for you, so there’s no need to set one up manually.
How much does ZapEvent cost?
Free events are free. If customers use the ZapEvent gateway and merchant account, ZapEvent charges $1.30 per registration, plus 4.9% of the order total for paid events. If customers use a ZapEvent approved gateway, ZapEvent charges 2% of the order total, plus $1.30 per registration – invoice/net 30. There are no setup fees or additional costs with ZapEvent. You can either absorb this fee, pass it on to the registrant, or some combination of both.
Will I get charged by ZapEvent for a free event?
No. If you are not charging for the event, you will not have to pay the above fee to ZapEvent.
Who runs my registrants’ credit cards?
ZapEvent does the credit card processing for you, so you do not need to set up a merchant account separately.
So if someone chooses to send in a check, are the processing fees still applied?
If someone chooses to send in a check, the event director is responsible for collecting the check. ZapEvent will still charge $1.30 for each registration, but the 4.9% of the order total will not be applied.
How do I get paid for my events?
ZapEvent will collect the money for your event for you, and will reconcile your orders on the 1st and 15th of every month (or, if this falls on a weekend or holiday, the first business day thereafter). You will recieve a check to the person & address you have entered in the PowerZapEvent registration screen. If you wish to recieve direct deposit instead, please email support@zapevent.com. If you are accepting checks for your event, it is your responsibility to collect those checks.
So ZapEvent pays me on the 1st and 15th of every month?
ZapEvent will pay you on the 1st of the month for all orders taken 7 days prior to the reconcile date, no matter the amount. ZapEvent will only pay you on the 15th of the month if the total dollar amount taken in up to 7 days prior to the reconcile date exceeds $200.
Can I customize the registration page?
If you don’t want the standard blue & organge ZapEvent colors on your event registration pages, ZapEvent can customize your event page for you. Please contact powerpackpro@powerobjects.com if this is something you are interested in.
How fast do the registrations show up in CRM?
Registrations will be synced to your CRM once a day.
What kind of reporting is available?
PowerZapEvent comes with a reporting function that allows you to see all registrant information, including what event they registered for, what questions they answered, how much they paid for the event, and much more. You can then export your report to Excel, or view it right within CRM.
What happens with PowerZapEvent if I copy my CRM database?
If you copy a CRM organization with PowerZapEvent installed, you must uninstall PowerZapEvent and re-install to point to a new ZapEvent account. You cannot have more than one CRM organization pointing to a ZapEvent account.
What options do I have for processing payments if I use PowerZapEvent? To opt-in to using your own payment gateway, please contact support@zapevent.com. Otherwise, by default, you will use ZapEvent’s payment gateway if your event is a paid event.
Well, here’s the scoop:
What happens if someone registers for an event, and then cancels, and wants a refund?
Here is ZapEvent’s refund policy:
During registration, ZapEvent users must agree to ZapEvent’s Terms of Use and also that refunds will be handled by the event coordinator’s only. We do understand there may arise instances where a credit card refund may be necessary and we will continue to handle those on a case by case basis.
When a direct credit card refund is requested by the event director, it is recommended that this request be done via email to support@zapevent.com. ZapEvent is only able to process direct credit card refunds for transactions that have happened within the past 7 calendar days and the amount refunded by ZapEvent will not include processing fees. Only in situations of accidental duplicate transactions will the processing fees also be refunded to the participant. If the transaction took place more than 7 days ago, the event director will need to refund the participant directly.
