If you are interested in accepting payment methods other than credit and debit cards, you can enable Offline Payments. This allows you to provide alternative options such as cash, check, etc in addition to instructions on how your registrants can pay.
The registrant will not receive their final confirmation with their active QR code until final payment has been received and marked as Complete in the system. Upon marking a payment as Complete, an updated confirmation email will be sent that will include their active QR code.
Note: If you're using Webconnex Payments, a credit card is required to publish this feature. The card will be invoiced $0.99 + 1% (up to $4.99) per registrant for completed offline payments. It will not be invoiced for free registrations. If you do not wish to have a card on file, simply disable the offline payment option.
