Processing event payments, invoices, and receipts

If you would like to check membership payment and invoice management, check this article.

Event payments are automatically tracked and recorded in the Glue Up platform, whether processed online (through the platform) or offline (cash, bank transfer, etc.). For all your event registrations, you can also auto-generate and even auto-send invoices and receipts. However, the option to generate invoices must be first activated when you setting up each event from 01. Setup > Registration Settings > Payment Options > Finance Settings. Receipts will also be generated by default for all event payments. They can be sent automatically after each purchase or manually, depending on the preferences you selected in the Payment Options subsection.

Note: you can set your default Payment Options from Settings > Invoices & Billing. You can still use your default settings for all your events, and still edit those settings anytime for specific events.
