How to Set Up Professional Event Registration in Under 10 Minutes

Setting up event registration should not take weeks, or even days. With Sunfish Events, you can go from zero to a live, branded registration page in under 10 minutes. Here is exactly how.

Step 1: Create Your Event (2 Minutes)

Log in to Sunfish Events, click "Create Event," and enter your event name, date or dates, location, and a short description. This creates your event shell. Everything else builds from here.

Step 2: Build Your Registration Form (3 Minutes)

Default fields like name and email are already in place. From there, add whatever you need: company name, job title, dietary restrictions, session preferences. Browse the question library to pull in pre-built questions that cover the most common event scenarios, so you are not starting from scratch. Use conditional logic to show different questions based on attendee type or previous answers. Drag and drop to reorder. No coding, no configuration guides, no support ticket required.

Step 3: Set Your Ticket Pricing (2 Minutes)

Create ticket types for your event. General Admission, VIP, Member Rate, Student, whatever fits your audience. Set early bird pricing with automatic date cutoffs so the price switches on its own when the window closes. Add optional items like workshops or meal packages if needed. Choose whether to absorb processing fees or pass them to attendees.

Step 4: Brand Your Registration Page (2 Minutes)

Upload your logo and set your brand colors. Preview on desktop and mobile before you go live. The result is a registration page that looks like yours, not like a generic third-party form. Attendees land on something that feels like a natural extension of your event.

Step 5: Connect Stripe and Go Live (1 Minute)

Click "Connect Stripe" and authenticate your account. If you do not have a Stripe account yet, setup takes about five minutes and you can do it directly from this step. Once connected, your registration page is live immediately. Share the link via email or post it on social media.

A Few Things Worth Doing Once You Are Live

Customize your confirmation email so attendees know what to expect and what comes next. Make changes anytime without taking the page offline. Need to adjust pricing, add a question, or fix a typo? Do it live, no downtime, no re-publishing.

That is the whole process. Ten minutes from starting to accepting registrations.
