TEST EVENT OWL FOR FREE!
We listened to many organisers ask us if they could trial the system for free before committing to use Event Owl to take trader bookings.
No problem. Here's how:
1. Under the Organisers tab, click Add an event. You will need to Register with us so that we can create your profile and then save your event information.
2. Once registered, you'll be returned to the Add an event page and be asked to complete some basic event information. Once complete, click Continue. We will then assign an event number and store the information in your organiser's profile.
3. Then start completing the relevant sections. In the business details section, click Private when reaching this field.
For test purposes, the information in the sections that follow only needs to be kept very simple. One or two words in most fields is ample (e.g. Test Event). You also only need a couple of £0 cost test exhibitor packages (your stall fee information) too.
3. If you have a Stripe account, please link to this during the onboarding, where prompted. If you don't have one, we can set up a test account for you. Please contact us.
4. Check over your event. Once you're happy, Submit for approval. We will check it for you and apply the special test fee rate of £0. We will send you a notification once it's been approved.
Then start testing:
1. Sign in to your profile. Your event will not be listed on our main events listing page. Under My organised events, click on the event name, or the Preview link. This will open your private event page. Copy the full navigation bar address.(i.e. https://www.xyz.co.uk/eventname)
2. Time to make some test bookings. You'll need a couple of blank/test documents to upload.
3. Select an exhibitor package (add a number in the box, or check a box, etc.), then click Add to basket, go to the application form, it will switch you to your Exhibitor profile (or ask you to sign in or register if you've signed out). You will then see your application form, and the order will have been added to the 'basket' (order page). Work through the questions until you complete the three stages. The Order page will display 'Edit form' once fully completed.
4. Happy with your order? Click Apply. Normally, this opens the Stripe checkout, which is where you would enter your payment option and information, but as the exhibitor package are £0, you will not be asked for any card details. Your application/order will be sent to your dashboards, and you'll experience the automated status email notifications, dashboard view and reports views. As the organiser clicks accept on your orders to activate the approved emails, receipts and the spreadsheet reports.
If you are happy with your trial, great!
Now, enter all your event information using the same stages. You can still test your full event before going live; just keep it in private mode.
