Configure a registration form to charge on approval
Go to the Event Manager App > Registration section > Forms tab, and edit the desired registration form.
In the Form Designer > Settings tab, set Approval Mode to "Manual Approval" and then set Manual Approval Payment Mode to "Charge registrant on approval"
NOTE: When the Approval Mode setting is set to "Automatic Approval", will always charge the registrant immediately on submission.
When the Manual Approval Payment Mode is set to "Charge registrant on approval":
Completing the registration form is the same as for any other registration form in ClearEvent - the registrant must select the registration fee, complete the form and enter valid Credit Card information.
Even though Credit Card information is entered, the payment will NOT be processed on submission of the registration form. The registrant will instead receive a confirmation of submission. The payment receipt will be emailed at a later date when the registration is approved and the registrant's card is successfully charged.
The registration is flagged as Pending until an event manager reviews and approves or declines the registrant.
NOTE: There is no time limit on how long a registration can be in the Pending state. However, to minimize any issues with processing the Credit Card at a later date, it is
recommended that you approve & charge the registrant as soon as possible after a registration is received.

The registrant will be approved
