Section 5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): How is the RegOnline account set up for our conference? Your account is set up by ACM as a child account under ACM so you will not receive invoices for this service. The bills will come directly to ACM and be charged to the conference’s account. What is the cost for using RegOnline? For conferences collecting in USD, the cost for this service is $2.25/registration plus normal credit card discount fees (approximately 2.80 % for master Card and 3.47 % for American Express) for which you have already budgeted in your TMRF. For conferences collecting in Euros, the cost for this service is 2.95 Euros per registration and 4.3% credit card processing fees. *At this time Registration Revenue can only be collected in US Dollars and Euros Is RegOnline easy to use? The RegOnline system is self-explanatory and extremely easy to use. If you need help, there are tutorials throughout and you can also sign up for free 1-2 hr training sessions, which address how to build an event. You can sign up for these trainings here: https://www.RegOnline.com/marketing/support/training.aspx . Toll-free tech support and live chat is also without cost, and is friendly and efficient. They are familiar with our accounts and conferences and will work hard to resolve any problems that you encounter Do you offer Membership Authentication? Yes. ACM Professional, Student and SIG member numbers are validated upon registration. Please note that Registrant Types with this feature will be disabled if the “Name on Reports” field is modified. Which browser should I use to set up the event? While all browsers will run the website, RegOnline recommends setting up the event using Internet Explorer or Firefox. What if I make a mistake while constructing my registration pages? All accounts are initially opened with the status of “Testing”. No one will be able to access the site until you have built it to your satisfaction and opt to go “Active,” i.e., you are ready to accept online registrations. RegOnline strongly suggests (and ACM concurs) that you test the event. ACM would be happy to help with this. Are there any special fields that I should require that are not default settings? Yes. Under the “Personal Information” tab of Setup, we ask that you require the country field and the zip code field. By requiring the country code, we are hoping to cut down further a small number of fraudulent registrations. In addition, both the country and zip code fields will help us compile effective and complete mailing lists. Under the “Personal Information” tab, “Custom Fields” section, the Postal Mail OptIn should be visible and required; the Email OptIn should be visible. Please note that these fields and any field title should not contain hyphens or dahes. For ACM to accurately compile our lists of attendees, we need to standardize the names of some of the fields used. Please use: First Name, Last Name (please do not change this to “surname”), Company/Organization (please do not change this to “affiliation”), Address 1, Address 2, City, US State/Canadian Provence, Zip (Postal Code), Country, Email, Membership Number, PostalMailOptin, EmailOptIn. What if a student needs to pay for extra pages of a proceedings? Publishing extra pages in the proceedings is at the discretion of the conference committee. Payment for these pages is handled through the conference RegOnline account and must be set up as a line item by the Registration Chair. Authors who have already registered for the conference and now require payment for extra pages, must revisit their registration through using their confirmation number and follow payment instructions for extra pages. It is the committee's responsibility to ensure that all authors who have requested extra pages have paid. What should I know about the “Payment and Verification” tab of Setup? ACM’s master account, and therefore all its sub-accounts, have these fields checked:
Please do not adjust these settings. Collecting credit card numbers makes refunds possible, and collecting the security (or “CVV”) code again reduces the small incidence we have of fraudulent registration. Should I test the credit card functionality of my site before accepting registrations? This is not necessary, as ACM has already tested the credit card functionality. Which credit cards does ACM accept? We currently accept American Express, Mastercard, and Visa, and these options can be checked. Should I accept checks in advance for the conference? This is totally up to you. If you elect to accept checks in advance for the conference, they are received by you. You would then manually enter the information on the attendee’s page, and send the checks in batches (bi-weekly or monthly) to ACM for credit to the conference. Should I accept checks and/or cash on-site? Again, the decision is up to you, checks would be sent to ACM. Cash would be deposited by you, and a check or money order in the same amount written to ACM for credit to the conference. Who should checks be made out to? Registrants paying by check should send the check to you (the registration chair or treasurer). The checks should be made out to ACM and/or the conference. We accept all checks and money orders. Once you receive the check you should zero balance the account in RegOnline then forward checks to your conference logistics coordinator for deposit. Should I accept wire transfers? Attendees should register through RegOnline and select other payment options. They should then send a wire transfer using the attached instructions *** PLEASE WIRE TRANSFER DETAILS IN SECTION 3. Once they complete the wire they should let you know (the conference chair) it's been completed. Confirmation of the transfer should be forwarded to your program coordinator who will email you back once the wire has been received. Their account in RegOnline should then be zero balanced. This will have to be done by the admin (conference chair or registration chair). What should I do if someone needs a refund for a cancellation? Method when a cancellation fee is not being charged: Under “attendee information” select “cancel registration”. When saved, this will automatically give you the option of refunding the remaining balance or new transaction (see blue banner below). Click refund remaining balance. Transactions
Method when cancellation fee is being applied: Under “attendee information” select “cancel registration”. When saved, this will automatically give you the option of refunding the remaining balance or new transaction (see blue banner above). Click new transaction then “adjust this registrant’s balance due”. When brought to the next page choose “other charges” as the type. In the amount section, apply the cancellation fee then save and close. Lastly, click refund remaining balance. What if the person only needs a partial refund, e.g., they want to cancel only a banquet ticket, or there has been a change in fees, etc.? Do not change the person’s status to “canceled”. In the Agenda section of the attendee’s registration select “edit”. Deselect the initial payment and select the new payment: e.g. deselect “regular registration” and select “early registration.” E.g., simply deselect banquet ticket, etc. A window will come up either: Online Credit Card Payment or Online Credit Card Refund. Click “Yes, process the amount above”. Then save and close. What if the person needs a partial refund, e.g., they registered as a non-member when they should have registered as a member, or late rate when it should have been early rate, etc.? Do not change the person’s status to “canceled”. In the Transaction section of the attendee’s registration select “new transaction”. Select the “adjust this registrants balance due”. Pick “other credits” as type, enter the amount they are being refunded and enter the rational in the notes section, then save and close. In the Transaction section select “refund remaining balance” and “ok”. The amount will be refunded. What happens if I need to charge a registrant for an item (workshop, banquet ticket, coffee mug, etc.) that s/he had not originally purchased in their registration? Because the RegOnline system is self-service, registrants can go back into their attendee record and charge any items they would additionally need or want. This prevents questionable charges. In very rare circumstances, a charge would need to be put through on behalf of a registrant. In those cases, the charges must be put through at ACM. In addition, explicit written permission must be given by the registrant via email or fax to allow this transaction. Never attempt to charge a registrant’s credit card without notifying ACM. How do I account for offline payments that I've received? I have collected offline payments from registrants, such as checks or wired funds. How do I enter those in my RegOnline account to balance the attendee record? When you receive an offline payment from an attendee, you need to record it on the their attendee record in order to reconcile the balances and transactions for your event. Entering a manual transaction on the attendee record: Find the attendee's record and click on the registration ID # to open the Attendee Info window. Click the Transaction icon on the left sidebar and verify that there is a balance owed (balance due is indicated in Red). Click the New Transaction link on in the top right corner of the blue header bar. This will open the New Transactions window. If the attendee does not have a negative balance (in red), then you will need to create a manual revenue adjustment (credit) first. Choose the option to Enter a manual (offline) payment - (Select this option to record a payment received from an registrant that is not an online credit card transaction) and click Next. On the next step, enter the following information: Enter the Date of the transaction (default is today's date). Select the Type of payment you have collected. Your choices are Offline Credit Card Payment, Check Payment, Other Payments, Cash Payment, or Wire Transfer Payment. Enter the Amount of the payment. Enter positive numbers only. Enter any Notes regarding this payment (optional) Example: "Check #1234", "Transferred to account", "Payment Received", etc... Click Save and Close when finished. Additional Information: Offline Credit card payments entered with this process will simply record the transaction on the attendee's record, but WILL NOT charge the attendee's credit card. What happens to the status of my conference after it is over? Shortly after the end of the conference, the event status will be changed to “inactive,” but will still be able to be viewed and modified. The inactive status also does not impact your ability to generate reports. The change to inactive status is a housekeeping method that also prevents people from registering for a conference after the fact. This occasionally happens in error, and in the cases of fraudulent registration and the testing of stolen credit cards. What happens if I want to save my registration pages for subsequent conferences? Your event will remain in its “inactive” state indefinitely and will always be available for you to copy into subsequent years. When you are ready to work on the following year’s registration pages, new registration chairs will require a username and login and should notify ACM headquarters (regsupport@acm.org). They will create a new event for the current year’s conference. All registration chairs, new or returning, should request a new event code for the event to ensure proper crediting of funds to the conference. Please contact RegSupport: regsupport@acm.org. It is very important not to create a template of your event as this template can only be saved to ACM’s parent account where you will not be able to access it. Does Regonline have an anonymous Survey feature? Yes. This service is free of charge. To create a standalone, anonymous survey:
