How to add a Customer to an Event after it’s over
If a Customer forgot to sign up for an Event and their participation in an Event slipped through the cracks, you’ll want to add the Customer into the Event, even if the Event is over.
To do this,
Click into the Event
Scroll down in the side panel that popped up
Click Add Participant
Click Guest (no charge, does not count towards quota) at the top
You need to click this button because you will not be able to add the Customer as a Regular Participant once the Event is over. If you try, you will see an error message.
Search for the Customer’s name
Click the plus button on the right side of their name
Click the Add Participant blue button
Click Save at the bottom of the side panel
Now the Customer has been added to the Event, even though the Event is over. This is a great way to ensure that all Customers who attended an Event are included in that Event’s history.
As a likely next step, you may also want to charge this newly added Customer for their Event participation. To do so,
Click back into the Event
Click on the Purchases tab of the side panel
Click on the Charge button
The newly added Customer will be on this dropdown list of Event participants
Click on the Customer’s name
Click Add Item
Navigate to the Booking item
Type in the cost
Write in the details of this charge
Click the blue button Add
Click the blue button Create Charge
Now this newly added Customer will have the proper charge for their Event participation
