Categories Overview

The Categories tab is used to create different groups or categories of registrants that will be attending your event. (e.g. general admission, staff, guest speakers, VIPs, sponsors, members/non-members, etc.). 

Categories are very important in Stova, as using different categories will allow you to create a different registration experience for each category you create (e.g. different payment rates, invited to partial or whole event, questions asked, etc.). 

For example, you could set up the registration process so a boardmember will have access to executive session meetings whereas a general attendee will not. 

 

It is always advisable to have at least one category added to your event.
