"Keeps a persons information from event to event."
I like registrations; there are a lot of options to add for different kinds of events, and it is pretty clean-cut and easy to use.

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.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

Provides a lot of solutions: 1.) this app essentially funnels all participants to one registration location no matter if you register remotely or on campus, 2.) monetary tracking is centralized, and 3.) participant tracking can be downloaded and monitored daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

Too many security instructions that often confuse the participants (check email and other notices). Also, the profiles from people don't sync the same way. For example, if Nicholas "Nick" Smith is in People (first name, nickname, and last name), you can type in any of those names and that profile will show up. With Registrations and other apps within PCO, If you type in Nick, the name does not pop up, so it gives the delusion that the person is not in Planning Center. The person then creates a new profile and it becomes a duplicate in PCO People. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

Try it for sure! As I pointed out, there are a lot of flaws, but I'm sure it beats out a lot of other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using registrations for events that our church orchestrates. Since using this we have been able to cut down drastically on our financial losses. We also are able to keep track of our guest list as well as organize who has properly filled out information and who hasn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

I love that everything is in one place and syncs with planning center services and people. It makes registering many people immediately after services significantly easier. It is very helpful that it links to "people accounts" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

I wish you could personalize fields more when making a registration form. Other form software is definitely more lenient in the types of fields you can create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

Use it for all events and everything is organized together!! We did not utilize this as part of our planning center account for the longest time and I am so glad we've started using it!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is so helpful to use already registered “people” accounts. It makes doing connect desk registrations quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

I love that the team at planning center is always working on improving the backend. After three years i’ve seen significant improvements to the app making my life as an admin easier. Best of all it’s free, they never up the price on the subscription or charge “upgrade” fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

My only dislike is this program doesn’t favor “recurring events”. For example, we have a one-hour prayer session each week and withYheough this system we have to input the data for that each week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Through this app we are able to look very professional. People get a similar experience registering for an event than if they would buy a ticket on eventbrite. That’s worth a lot since most churches have a hard time keeping current in the design and web worlds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

We are a church with many classes and events happening on a regular basis, so this helps keep them all organized in one place, and allows multiple people to be named as manager of each event. This helps us keep organized without every event falling on the shoulders of one person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

Would love to see a better way to keep track of who registered for an event, but didn't end up showing up (without just deleting them off the list). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

If you are an organization that hosts many different groups, classes, events, etc all at once, this is a fantastic tool to keep them all organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a mainly volunteer based non-profit, this has been incredibly helpful for our volunteers to take control of the events they are in charge of without always needing to rely on a single staff member to update everything. We are able to input our volunteers as contacts and managers for individual events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

I love that the Planning Center is user-friendly and that it allows anyone to register by providing a temporary login. Once logged in they are able to create their own password for login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

There's nothing about planning center that I dislike but I will make a suggestion. Planning center should have more built-in plugins like Spotify or Apple Music so you don't have to upload music or links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

I recommend planning center for churches with growing teams who are looking for a better way to stay connected. I also recommend it for accountablilty purposes. Everyone who registers can now be held accountable for checking their messages and getting the music all at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Planning Center helps to organize teams for worship services. It provides a way to send the same message to a group of people at once. It has definitely become a necessity for a church setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

The ease of use for everyone involved is absolutely wonderful. Everything can be customized, and it is simple to use from the back-end. PCO provides great support. This is a well-organized system that can be integrated with other PCO products! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

I don't like that everyone who registers for an event must have an account to do so. I do wish that you could integrate the event registration pages better into your personal business website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

Try it out! The interface is great, and the ease of use for administrators and people registering is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

Creating a registration page was not only very easy, but allowed me to keep track of contact information, book purchases, and money owed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

Removing people from registrations, in case of error, didn't actually remove them. Their names would remain visible as cancellations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Registrations:

There are elements of Planning Center that, in my opinion, are not as useful as the Registrations product. If you're considering Planning Center, I highly recommend that you include Registrations. It'll make gathering names, information and payments for your events so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've been a sign-up-sheet organization for decades. This information required someone to transfer the data into a spreadsheet for tracking and communication. The registrations portion of Planning Center made it very easy to do away with printed sign-up sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planning Center Registrations?

Planning Center is the top pick for church management software; it continues to grow while other church managements softwares decline in relevency. As a church, we continue to see consistent improvement through the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Registrations?

The software is divided into categorical apps, not an all-in-one yet the software works seamless through the apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ultimately this solves our processes of people and systems. Whether it be scheduling events, church giving, registering people, managing volunteers and checking-in people into our services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
