Registration & Payments

Every sign-up and every payment, handled the moment someone registers.

Custom registration for exhibitors, parade contingents, vendors, and sponsors. Participants pay at checkout, your organization collects its fee directly, and the platform costs you nothing.

Why it matters

Stop running registration out of spreadsheets, paper forms, and chase-up emails.

Most community events still collect sign-ups one way and money another, then spend weeks reconciling the two. Karsenics makes registration a single online flow that takes the payment up front and creates a clean record on the spot.

  • Paper and PDF forms typed back in by hand
  • Invoices mailed out, then chased for weeks
  • No single list of who registered and who actually paid
  • Booth and contingent counts that drift out of date
How it works

From form to funds in four steps.

Build your forms

Custom registration forms for each participant type: exhibitors, parade contingents, vendors, and sponsors, with the fields and options your event needs.

Participants register and pay

At checkout they pay your participation fee plus the flat platform fee in one transaction. Card now, or an invoice they pay by check with the space held until it clears.

Funds land in your own account

Payments process through Stripe into your organization's own Stripe account. You are the merchant of record, and the money is yours from the moment it clears.

Records created instantly

Each paid registration becomes a clean record, ready to flow into contracts, credentialing, and board reporting downstream.

What you get

Built for the way events actually take registrations.

Custom forms per type

Separate flows for exhibitors, contingents, vendors, and sponsors, each asking only what it needs.

Stripe-powered checkout

Secure card payments at registration. No separate billing step, no manual receipts.

Card or invoice

Participants who need it can pay by check against an invoice, and the registration holds the space until it clears.

Your Stripe, not ours

Karsenics never holds your funds. The per-registration fee collected from participants is settled with Karsenics after the event, so you always know the number before you owe it.

Live counts

Booth and contingent totals update as people register, no more spreadsheets going stale.

Zero cost to your org

No subscription and no per-seat charge. The platform fee is paid by participants at checkout.

Who it's for

One registration flow, every participant.

Exhibitors & vendors

Register and pay for booth space in minutes, from any device.

Parade contingents

Sign up and pay entry fees online instead of mailing forms.

Sponsors

Confirm and pay sponsorship commitments through the same checkout.

Your team

No manual invoicing, no payment chasing, one accurate list.
