The ClearEvent platform provides Event Organizers four modes to receive & track event registration payments.
Whenever possible, the recommended mode would be to use Online payments, but depending on your specific situation that may not be desirable or possible.
A single registration fee can offer more than one Payment Mode. When it does, registrants choose how they want to pay at the end of the registration checkout. You can also offer different payment modes on different fees.

Example: Consider an event that is some form of competition; you could decide to accept only online fees from your competitors, only checks from your Sponsors, and then give Vendors the choice of paying by check OR online by enabling both payment modes on the Vendor fee. Or, you could provide Competitors with an online fee option at one price, but then give an offline / on-site option at a different price using a separate fee.
Any combination is possible! The ClearEvent platform gives you all that flexibility.
Enable Fees on your registration forms
It's possible to enable fees to collect payment on any registration form.
Go to the Registration section > Forms tab, and Edit a form.
In the Form Designer, select the Fees tab.
Check Enable Fees to allow fees to be added to the form.
Once enabled, you must define at least one registration fee or the form can not be saved.
If you no longer wish to receive payments on a particular form, you can simply uncheck the Receive Payments.
📝Note: If the form is currently published, then you first need to un-publish the form before you can disable payments.
When configuring registration forms to receive payments, here are some key features to be aware of:
There is no limit to how many registration fees you can have on each form, but only a single fee can be selected during the registration checkout process.
You can enable alternative pricing for early and/or late registrations.
Each registration fee can offer one or more payment modes (Online, Offline, and/or On-site). When more than one is offered, the registrant chooses at checkout. The Online payment mode is the only payment mode that allows the registrant to provide payment details online.
Example
If you wish to register competitors for your event, but different entry fees are needed based on the category of the competitor, it would be best to create one form, with a Registrant Type of "Competitor", and then create different registration fees for each category, like so:
Novice Fee: $100
Intermediate Fee: $150
Expert Fee $200
With this approach, when a competitor registers they would first prompted to select a registration fee that corresponds to their category, and then would complete the rest of the registration process.
