What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

The best part of Planning Center Registrations is the ability to manage sign-ups, automate responses, and integrate with Planning Center Check-ins. Registrations also allows you to create more than one event at a time which makes it easy to plan out your whole year or set up different ministry's events at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

The most inconvenient thing about registrations is having to go to the Planning Center Check-in app to set up an event check-in instead of it being automatically open when the event starts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

Planning Center has a ton of training videos and the best customer support. They are quick to respond and help you on the spot. I had mu check-in computers down and I talked with their representative that walked me through the problem until it was fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Registrations solving and how is that benefiting you?

Administering an event is no small feat and having Registrations you are able to automate a lot of the processes you would have to usually do manually. You can have the app send out emails and reminders at a certain time and you can also send out confirmation emails to registrants with updated information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

Flexible registration software that works great for events and has an elastic price tag depending on your registration count. If you have a month with fewer registrants, you can lower the fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

It would be great if it had action tabs that opened when clicked on. It is limited in its layout format. It can make for a relatively long-form without this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Registrations solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us, it is a quick registration solution that works with our database and keeps tabs for us in one place—just another advantage to having multiple modules with Planning Center Online. We save quite a bit with the option to pay less for the software on those months where we don't have several events. That is a bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

I like how easy and clear navigating each type is.

Being able to easily change and manage each type of attendee has helped me so much!! In ministry, it helps me easily know how many of which gender are signed up. Which, in turn, helps me know how many chaperones I may need.

It is also super easy to apply scholarships to registerees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

The only I don't love about registrations is the overview and description portion of events. I hate having to put in special coding or formatting to make each section be bold or capitalized. I wish I could do that by clicking instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Registrations solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm solving the problem of keeping all attendees tracked and accounted for as the complete paperwork and payment for whatever event they signed up for. Before It was a bunch of paperwork and paper receipts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

I don't like how sometimes people can't find their record, that there is not one central admin portal for all the different pieces of planning center, and that you have to put in your number and email and get a code everytime a person logs in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

It was very user friendly and simple to use. I liked that I could mass email the registration form out using Planning Center People as well. Once a registration was submitted, PCO organized the information very conveniently and provided options for downloading and printing the information, which was a nice touch. I also liked that I could offer multiple options for people to register under one registation form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

I disliked that customization was very limited. I could upload a photo and add our logo to the top, but that was the extent of customization. It did not fit our brand well since I could not customize fonts, colors used, etc. Fields were also pretty limited to what information I could choose from. Finally, the email was flagged as spam for many of our users and hard bounced, which was unfortunate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Registrations solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solved the problem of helping us estimate attendance in advance to our services so that we could ensure we had enough seating with appropriate distancing during Covid precautions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

I love that planning center registrations works well with Calendar and planning center people. It helps us to keep track of the events that our people are going to over time and let’s us track engagement. It also works easily with the Church Center app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

Some of the event creation is a little cumbersome especially if you have to create multiple events that are similar or a reoccurring event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

Like all planning center products this works best with their family of products planning center registrations has been a great way for us to help introduce registrations for services that have never had registrations in the past. It works well with the Church Center app so it’s easy for people to register for events and stay updated on any changes. It integrates excellently with the check in system from planning center and makes it easy for us to manage Check-Ins on Sunday morning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Registrations solving and how is that benefiting you?

Especially with Covid we needed a way to have our people register for Sunday morning gatherings rather than just showing up so we can keep a better count on the numbers in the room for safety. This has been a huge way to help us solve that problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

Anyone who registers for an event is automatically added to our Planning Center database. Payment is convenient. Reimbursements for those who cancel is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

I don't like that it uses Stripe for payments. That means going to another place for bookkeeping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use their 30 day free trial and check it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Registrations solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is a great way for our church people and others to register for our church events. Registrations offers the option to make partial payments. It also allows us to add forms in case there is a paper waiver that needs signed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

I like the way you can take payments on registrations the best. You can format your event page to look and feel however you like. Also, the fees are much less than that of Eventbrite or Eventzilla. We used to use those for different events we held, but PC Registration is much easier! And, it integrates with the rest of our PC software and we can follow up with attendees much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

Honestly, there's not anything I dislike. We also use Check-Ins along with Registrations to check in those who attend the events they pay or sign up for! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

I would say this software is much more user friendly than others we've used. Also, there is a PC Registrations app that makes life so easy, especially when you have 500+ members of your organization registering for different events happening all around campus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planning Center Registrations solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are now spending much less money on event registration fees! Which is incredible. Also, we're solving the problem of not having the ease of following up with attendees. Thru Registrations we can track every dollar paid and to which account they've paid to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
