Organizing an event online? Want to make it easy to sign up by creating an online event registration form?
You want everything to go well, but there’s much to organize! One of the most vital things is that you make it easy for people to sign up. That’s where an online event registration form, well, comes in pretty handy-it’s like your own virtual ticket booth. And the best part? It’s pretty easy to do on your WordPress site by using Bit Form!
Bit Form is a brilliant plugin, that lets you create custom forms in just a few minutes. It’s a great plugin for creating event registration forms because you will be able to capture all the information you need, provide instant confirmation of registrations, and take payment directly on your form.
In this tutorial, I take you through everything you might want to know to create an online event registration form from scratch in a super-easy-to-understand manner.
An online event registration form lets every person sign up super fast and easily. Instead of dealing with paper forms or being forced to wait for e-mails, people can register instantly. They can do it anywhere and at any time; this means greater flexibility for them and more sign-ups for you! Additionally, all the information goes to one place in an organized manner, so you will not have to track of every person’s details by hand.
That is quite useful because the attendees immediately receive a confirmation message, which informs them they are registered. If your event requires some fee, then Bit Form allows people to pay through it, which will reduce much hassle from your side and keep their registration process smooth!
Before we dive into how to make the form, let’s cover a few tips that can make your form look awesome and work perfectly:
Keep It Simple: Only ask for what’s necessary. Don’t make the form too long or people might lose interest.
Be Clear and Friendly: Make sure each question or field is super easy to understand.
Use Required Fields Wisely: Only make things required if they’re really needed (like a name or email).
Add a Confirmation Message: Let people know their registration was successful right after they submit the form.
Allow Payments in the Form: If your event requires a fee, set up a simple way for people to pay directly.
Ready to create your form? Follow these steps to make a great-looking event registration form in WordPress with Bit Form:
To install Bit Form, log into your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, and search for “Bit Form.” Once you find it, simply click Install Now and then Activate. This will make Bit Form available on your WordPress site so you can start creating forms immediately.
After activating Bit Form, go to Bit Form > Add New Form in your dashboard. Give your form a simple name, like “Event Registration,” so it’s easily recognizable. This is where your form-building journey begins!
Now, it’s time to add some basic fields. Start with essentials like Name, Email, and Phone Number. For each field, click on the field name and drag and drop it on the builder, and choose the appropriate type, such as Text for Name or Email for Email Address. These fields will capture the main details about your attendees.
Next, add any fields that are specific to your event, like Ticket Details, Event Date, or Number of Guests. Clearly label each field so that attendees know exactly what information to provide. This helps keep the form user-friendly and organized.
If your event has a fee, you can easily set up payments. Head to the Payment Fields section in Bit Form, select a payment option like PayPal, Razorpay, Stripe, or Mollie, and connect your account. Then, set the price for the event, so attendees can pay securely and conveniently while they register.
Go to Settings > Confirmation to set up a friendly confirmation message, like “Thanks for registering! We’ll see you there!” This gives people immediate feedback that their registration went through successfully. You can instantly send a confirmation email to users right after they submit the form.
You can style your form by editing colors, font styles, and other layout options if you want to give a fit to the form for your event. This step is optional, but it really makes your form even more inviting.
Save and Publish once you are happy with your form. Bit Form will provide you with a short code of your form. You just need to copy and paste on the page where you want your form to appear. Your event sign-up form is live!
Now, people can sign up for your event with just a few clicks. Whether it is a workshop, party, or conference, Bit Form makes everything easy, from gathering details to collecting payments. Here is the preview of the form that we have created.
One of the coolest things about Bit Form is that it allows easy payments right in the form! No extra steps are needed.
