Extra Values

Family Deposit Extra Value¶

Family Deposit¶

This Extra Value can be added to an Involvement used for online registration to allow a family to pay one specified deposit for the whole family instead of a deposit per person.

When you add the FamilyDeposit Extra Value to the Involvement, you do not put a Deposit on the Fee Tab. The deposit amount is set in the Extra Value. You can put the total fee per person on the Fee tab or have it calculated based on options or the person’s age. The registrant must register the whole family at the same time to pay only one family deposit.

Add the Family Deposit to an Involvement¶

Step 1: Go to the Involvement and select the Settings > Extra Values tab.
Step 2: Select the Show Adhoc Values button, and then select the green Add/Update Extra Value button.
Step 3: Select the type Integer, enter the name as FamilyDeposit, and then enter the amount you want for the deposit without using punctuation. Example: 100

Important

Be sure to use the same casing as indicated with no spaces - just FamilyDeposit.

Now when someone registers for that Involvement, they can register their entire family and pay the deposit (e.g., $100). The total due for the family will be reduced by the Family Deposit amount.

Note

This is a Deposit, so the registration must also have other fees (on the Fee Tab or in Registration Settings as age-based fees) for it to work.

Use Case - Family Camp

Use the FamilyDeposit Extra Value when every family pays the same deposit to reserve their spot. Set a fee per person or option-based fees on the Involvement, and optionally a Maximum on the Fee Tab. Include a {paylink} in the email confirmation. Add Instructions informing the registrant to register all attending family members and that the payment page amount will be the Family Deposit only.
