Register Online For Upcoming Classes/Seminars

Your attendees can browse classes or seminars on the SeekerWorks.org™ Attendee portal where they can ask for more information about them. Or, they can register for upcoming opportunities, and pay at registration on the portal if there is a cost for materials, using a credit card or ACH.

The 'Connect' Sub Menu option on the 'Home' screen can have a page for each Class/Seminar someone could attend, such as the Learn About Your Spiritual Gifts screen:

Learn_About_Your_Spiritual_Gifts

This screen is an example of a Spiritual Gifts class for Community Church of Cartoonville, which shows two buttons-- the (Ask About This Class/Seminar) button and, when there is an upcoming opportunity, the (Register For This Class/Seminar) button at the top of that screen.

When the first is clicked, the 'Follow Up Path- More Information:' path for the Class/Seminar is triggered and a tickler is sent to Elmer Fudd, since he teaches that class. When the second is clicked, the "Sign Me Up For This Class/Seminar!" screen appears (shown below after the Calendar screens).

An attendee could browse the calendar on the portal and sign up for a class that way. The Calendar Events: March, 2023 screen shows scheduled events for the month of March, 2023:

Calendar Events March 2023

This screen shows a month-at-a-glance view of all events scheduled for the organization, color coded by Event Type. Notice that the Spiritual Gifts Seminar appears on the 18th and 19th.

If you click the box around the events on the 18th, the Calendar Event Information: March 18, 2023 screen appears:

Calendar Event Information March 18 2023

Calendar Event Information March 18 2023

This screen shows all of the events for the 18th, and automatically selects the 1st event in the list on the right. In this example, there is only one item in that list. At other times, you could click/touch other events listed and they would load instead.

Notice the (Sign Me Up!) button toward the bottom of the screen. Click or touch that button to see the "Sign Me Up For This Class/Seminar!" screen:

Sign Me Up For This Class Seminar1

Sign Me Up For This Class Seminar2

This screen has 3 main sections.

  1. The top section shows the event information. Select the person who is to be registered from the list of people in your household, or you, if you're single.
  2. The next section shows the Giving Unit information, which appears when the class has an associated cost. As you can see, the cost is $15.00 USD, and the funds would be segregated into the "Fee Income" Gift Category, which was defined on the Class/Seminar.
  3. The next section also appears when the class has an associated cost. It shows the contact information and address where credit card or bank statements are mailed to, which is necessary for credit card or ACH transactions.
  4. The section with tabs also appears when the class has an associated cost. You will see a {Credit Card Details} tab to use a credit card, or a {Bank Account Details (ACH)} tab (US Only) to use an ACH on the portal, while the 3rd {Select A Payment Method} tab appears if you previously checked the box to create a profile after using a credit card or an ACH. This profile information is stored in authorize.net, from which only the obfuscated information is available. No one has access to the full card or bank account numbers (not even SeekerWorks Inc.), just the last 4 digits of each.
  5. Lastly, you'll see the (Pay Now...) button when the class has an associated cost, or the (Register Now...) button when it doesn't.

In either case, after you click the button, the Thank You screen appears:

Notice the (Add To My Calendar) button towards the top-right of the screen. You can click this to add the event to your device's calendar as a reminder.

Sign Me Up For This Class Seminar4

There are 3 options for which calendar you want to add it to: the Google calendar, the Yahoo calendar, or any calendar that accepts an iCal-compliant download file.

Since we picked the download option, we see confirmation of the downloaded "iCalEvent (13).ics" file at the bottom of the browser screen.

As an FYI, we can see the payment through the (My Data) menu option's Giving Detail Vs. Pledge screen, also on the portal:
