In what countries can I use Corsizio?
While your attendees can come from anywhere in the world to register for your events, at this time we are only able to provide accounts and support for businesses that are based in one of the following continents or countries.This includes countries in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and most countries in the European Union.
How do people register for my events on Corsizio?
As an instructor or event manager, you simply create an account with Corsizio and set up your event registration page. After you publish your event, meaning that you made the event page go live and be publicly available online, you would send your audience a link to your event portal site or the event page or registration form for the event directly in the manner of your choosing. Your customers would then fill out Corsizio's one-step registration form for your event. Your attendees do not create their own accounts with Corsizio.
Do my attendees need to create an account with Corsizio?
No. Your attendees or students do not create an account with Corsizio to register for your events. When you set up an event, such as a class, course, or workshop, and have them register to it, the attendee is solely registering for that single event and not to Corsizio or its services as a whole. This provides attendees with an easy, seamless, and convenient registration experience without needing to manage yet another login and password.
Do you offer a trial period?
Yes. Every account starts without the need to enable usage billing with a payment card. You will only need to enable billing when you expect to go beyond the low-volume usage limit of registrations per month. Please refer to our pricing page and the Usage Billing help doc.
How do I get a demo of Corsizio?
Corsizio is a low-cost self-serve platform that facilitates online registrations and payments for group events. This means that anyone who chooses to use Corsizio must feel comfortable using web-based services and be responsible for exploring and learning its features at their own time and pace.
There are no demos, no training sessions, and no phone support on Corsizio. Instead, we offer the following as part of Corsizio's self-serve approach:
- First, each new Corsizio account contains sample data to illustrate how event and registration data could look like and to provide users with the ability to practice using Corsizio with the sample data.
- Second, we provide explanatory notes and help links throughout the platform to help you understand the various features you interact with on the spot.
- Third, we offer an extensive help docs site that explains and illustrates with screenshots the different features that our service provides and how to use them. The help site is easy to search by keyword and is always available to you.
- Fourth, we offer an AI Assistant through our in-app help widget (bottom-right corner) to help you get instant answers to any of your questions at any time.
To get started or to try Corsizio and see if it is suitable for your needs, it is as easy as creating your own account and exploring the sample event and attendee data that we provide there for you. There is no cost or commitment to having an account, and you can delete it fully at any time, and we encourage you to do so, please, if Corsizio is not a suitable solution for your needs.
How does the pay-per-use pricing model work?
Our pay-per-use pricing model is divided into two areas: registrations and online payments.
Registrations: Any registrations you process on Corsizio are all subject to the pay-per-user rate. See the rates for the different currencies supported. You need to enable billing by putting a payment card on file in order to receive registrations beyond the low-volume limit. Your payment card will automatically be charged at the end of the billing month's cycle for all registrations processed in that given month. If your total new registrations for a given month were below the low-volume usage, we will waive the charge for that month. The billing cost and currency is based on the payment card's associated country or region. To learn more, please read the help doc: Registration Usage Billing.
Online Payments: When you choose to accept online payments from attendees for your events, these payments are subject to Corsizio's flat service fee and Stripe's standard card payment fees. See the rates for the different countries and currencies supported. These fees are not billed or invoiced in any way, as Stripe automatically deducts them during the payment transaction processing. To learn more, please read the help doc: Online Payment Service Fees.
What if my events are free, for charity, or not-for-profit?
Corsizio aims to provide all users with the highest amount of value for the lowest cost. As such, all registrations, whether they are for free events or not-for-profit events, are subject to Corsizio's pay-per-use pricing for usage, and users still get access to all features, support, security, and data storage. Therefore, cost is dependent on volume of usage and not on the event price or purpose.
What does it cost to accept online payments?
All online card payments are subject to card processing fees. When you accept online payments, we will facilitate the payment processing via Stripe (the payment processor) directly to your bank account, and these fees are deducted during each online payment transaction automatically. Corsizio charges a low and competitive flat service fee for any new online payment transactions processed, and Stripe charges standard fees. See the rates for the different countries and currencies supported.
Stripe is a leading online payment processing service, which charges an industry standard transaction fee. See Stripe's fees for supported countries and view our list of accepted currencies for online payments.
Collecting online payments from your attendees allows you to instantly secure payments for your event registrations and have the funds conveniently get deposited directly into your bank account by Stripe. If you would like to minimize the costs associated with online payment processing fees, you can use the deposit feature to only collect a small amount from your customers online, to secure a commitment, and collect the remaining amount in your preferred offline method. For more tips, read our help article How to save on online payment service fees.
Can I pass on the registration or online payment fees to my attendees?
There are two main ways that you can pass any of the registration or payment fees to your attendees. The most obvious way is to increase the cost of your event price by your expected fee expense. You can see how to calculate your fees in the help doc How to save on online payment service fees. Many registrants get put off by the idea of having to pay additional event registration fees and this allows you to bundle the cost as part of the event and minimize the risk of losing a registration. If you are okay with having your attendees see the fees separately, you can use the event price add-on feature and make a service fee of your choosing be a mandatory part of their registration.
How will I receive my funds when accepting online payments?
Corsizio uses Stripe, which is a leading online payment processing service, to facilitate all online card payment transactions. We know that your resources are valuable and having quick access to your money is a top priority. Therefore, unlike many other services, which may hold the funds until after the event has ended, Stripe will deposit your funds into your bank account on a 2 to 7-day rolling basis depending on your country and how you setup your account with them. See Stripe’s document about receiving payouts and view our list of accepted currencies for online payments.
Why do you use Stripe as the online payment processor?
Stripe provides full compliance with the strictest PCI Level 1 certification, along with competitive industry standard transaction fees and no monthly or hidden fees. Whether it is for your account's usage billing for new registrations or for your customers' online payment processing, payment card data does not touch or get stored on our servers for PCI compliance and security. Stripe currently supports businesses in many countries around the world; see the full list of supported countries for more information. You can instantly accept payments from around the world by having a bank account within any of the supported countries. We make it easy for you to integrate with Stripe via a single step from within Corsizio, whether you already have an existing account with Stripe or not.
Can I offer my attendees discounts or coupon codes?
Yes. You can create discount or promotion codes that can be distributed to your potential attendees during your event marketing on social networks, email newsletters, ads, and similar platforms to drive more registrations to your events. Coupons can either apply a flat amount or a percentage off the price. You can even limit the number of coupon redemptions and add an expiry date. You can also enable and configure volume or bulk discounts for your event to encourage multiple registrations to the same event.
Can I create multiple price categories for an event?
Yes. Corsizio supports the configuration of multiple price categories for events. For example, if you require child, student, adult, or senior categories, you would configure them as such during the creation of your event registration page. You can create multiple price categories that are age-related, status-related, duration-related, and so on.
Can I have other users or team members manage data in my account?
Yes. You can invite other users to have access to your account. Users added can be given one of the following roles: admin, editor, facilitator, or viewer. User logins to access an account cannot be shared by multiple people, as per our Terms of Use, for account security and accountability.
Are there any limits on the number of attendees or events I can have?
Event limits: You can create as many events as you need on Corsizio, for which you can accept registrations. Events can be up to 365 days (1 year) in duration. We do encourage you to be mindful of the amount of data that you have in your account and delete any old events with all their data when they are no longer needed.
Registration limits: A single event can accept a maximum of 1000 registrations at most, regardless of each registration's status in the system. In addition, please refer to the Usage Billing help doc to understand how the pay-per-use pricing works.
Can I issue refunds to attendees?
Yes. Refunds depend on your event refund policy and on whether you collected the payment offline or online. If you collected an offline payment, then you would refund your attendee the same way, offline, and record the refund amount on that attendee's registration in Corsizio for proper record keeping.
If you have collected an online card payment from your customer, you can easily issue them a partial or full refund, with no additional fees to you or them. Note that the initial online card payment transaction processing fees are not refundable.
Can I integrate Corsizio with my website?
Yes. Corsizio allows users to embed links and various sized widgets quickly and easily on their website, or other websites including social networks. These links and widgets allow potential attendees to conveniently and securely register and pay online for physical and virtual events, classes, courses, and workshops.
Can Corsizio provide me with a web presence?
Yes. Each account will have its own auto-generated portal site that aggregates and lists all of your current and upcoming events and makes them available online under a unique web address. Potential attendees will be able to filter using category, location, price, and other filters that you set up to help them find what they are looking for. This portal page will be public and searchable on major search engines. It is generated with SEO and mobile-friendly technology.
In addition, each event has its own page with a unique web address you can link to for your event details and registration form, which you can embed and share anywhere you need. Corsizio also provides you with embed links and various sized widgets that you can use to promote your events on any website you manage.
How is Corsizio different from other online registration and payment services?
At Corsizio we firmly believe that the best results come from using the right tool for the job. There are many online registration and payment services available to you today, but they do not all operate in the same way or offer the same features, value, pricing, or user experience and satisfaction. There are also different services for different types of events. For example, concerts and festivals require a different event registration and payment approach than courses and classes. The former events benefit from a ticketing service provider, which Corsizio is not. We specialize in educational events, which necessitate a certain degree of attendee data and record keeping. On Corsizio, everything revolves around your events, and your attendees do not create their own accounts.
Corsizio uses leading-edge technology and provides a modern, attractive, easy-to-use service and user interface. It is an ultra-quick and responsive service, which also uses real-time technology for instant updates when new registrations or payments come in. Some similar services have been around for decades and in turn, may use outdated technology, have a cumbersome user interface, or are simply complicated to use and require timely technical support. We also have the most competitive and optimized pay-per-use pricing in the industry.
Finally, Corsizio uses Stripe to enable you to accept payments directly into any personal or business account. Also, unlike other services, Corsizio does not hold your money in an escrow account or until the event is over. You receive your funds right after the transactions have been processed on a 2 to 7-day rolling basis depending on your country and set preferences.
