Just bought an Affinipay reader because it sounded like the bee's knees. Just hooked it up and tried a payment. Yes, it was way easier than typing everything in from the Wild Apricot website, but I'm sad to see that it just 'takes money' and doesn't assign it to an invoice and complete the circuit.
So my second thought was that I can at least take payment in the Affinipay app, then flip over to the W.A. app and mark an invoice paid by credit card. Nope--my only choices are Cash, Check, and Special Discount. I can't even mark paid by credit card online on my laptop--the same choices show up there. I can only "Charge Credit Card" by going back to where I was at the beginning and typing it all in. This makes the Affinipay card reader...well, worthless.
I don't mean to sound "complainey," but, yeah, I'm pretty disappointed. If you're going to integrate with Affinipay (and charge an exhorbitant amount someone who wants to stay with PayPal), it should be easier to take credit cards at the door.

It is 2023 now...is there any update? Tracking PDH / CEUs and sending certificates is critical to our professional organization.

I just posted in another wishlist about creating a PDF certificate of attendance for each verified attendee of an event. I hope this isn't against the forum policy, but I'm linking it here because I think it goes hand-in-hand.

Both requests would be helpful--an automatically generated form in the email, but also the ability for members to log in and see the events they have attended. In case they lose the emailed form, maybe they could hit a button on their CEU summary page to resend a copy of the form! Thanks for your consideration.

Just to keep this active, yes, we need this! If users could log in and see their attended events and the CEU value for each, they would have a log for reporting. It'd be ideal if the system could create a certificate for each event they attend (similar to the recently created membership card feature?), but at least a list of attendance would be something they could submit if audited.

I agree that this would be a huge timesaver to have an email scheduled for a day or two after the event.
My preferred recipient list would be "checked in" attendees, but maybe we could select all registrants or even "not checked in" registrants so we could say sorry you didn't make it.
Right now, we can manually email any of those groups by sorting the registrant list before hitting "Email" in the top corner--but that's all based on an admin remembering to get there and put it together.
Please :)

I would love to have additional fields that could be filled out by event creators. This would make sure all the pertinent data is listed and add consistency for users.
There is a similar request thread here: https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8826001-event-details-templates

We have many people who create events (mainly by copying old ones and editing the description) and it would help a lot to have additional details in separate fields instead of just filling in the "event description" with all the data.
All of the fields listed already would be great, but especially:
* Speaker info
* Deadline to register
* Cost information (members/nonmembers/late fees)
* Sponsor LogoAnd Schedule (start/dinner/presentation times)
I found another old post that is also asking for additional fields for event data entry. Maybe these can be merged? https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8827369-additional-fields-for-posting-events
Thanks.

We just launched integration with Integromat platform, which helps to build automated workflows. We also provide several templates for quick start, and one of them demonstrates how to send event attendance certificates as professionally looking PDF files.
You can try the integration by this link https://www.integromat.com/en/integration/2303-send-pdf-certificate-to-event-attendees

This sounds perfect for creating PDH certificates for our members to save and record their continuing education credits. I'd really like to see this! Right now we have to manually create a blank form from our Excel template, upload it to the website, and send it to all verified attendees.
It would look way nicer to have their name pre-filled, and if it could include the cost for the event, and even how and when they paid at the bottom so they can use it as a receipt for reimbursement if necessary that would be perfect!
Thanks for considering!

"Event Reconciliation Report" would be a great description of what I'm looking for. When our event is complete, we have many folks who have paid online, but several that have used a cash or check at the door. A reconciliation report would show how much money should have been collected. That way there's a record and way to double check the amount when the event manager hands it over to the treasurer. (It'd be great if this was available via the app so the event manager can have it at the ready when counting up cash & checks at the end of the night.)

Well, everyone, I wanted to post an update to my note below. It still doesn't look like there's any movement here. I thought that Wild Apricot's relationship with Affinipay would make it obvious that they would be supporting the card reader. *shrug*
Good news is that I bought a Square reader and signed up for that service. It is able to 'complete' the transaction on the WA back end--closing out the invoice and linking the payment.
But yeah, it took more effort to create another account, fill out all that info, and link our bank accounts. I do have to remember to transfer money out of Square to the bank every so often. Not seamless but way better than the Affinipay reader.
