When editing your Registration Form in the GivePanel Event builder (Forms > Editor > Registration Form), you’ll see three tabs:
Register Themselves → This is what the primary registrant sees (the person visiting and completing the form for themselves)
Register Others → Details the primary registrant enters to start the registration for additional participants (e.g. you sign up and enter Joe Bloggs details so he can be invited to complete his own registration too)
Confirm Registration → The step where those additional adult participants (e.g. Joe Bloggs) receive a form and completes it themselves to finish their registration (e.g. confirm details, accept terms)
How the Tabs Work Together
It’s helpful to think of Register Themselves as your source of truth.
All fields are created and defined in Register Themselves
The other tabs (Register Others and Confirm Registration) reuse these fields
You can’t create new fields in the later steps, only choose which ones to show or hide
Register Themselves
This is the starting point of your form and where all data fields are defined.
It is used when a supporter:
Registers themselves and completes their own details as the primary registrant
Use this tab to collect:
Personal details (e.g. first name, last name, email, phone number)
Event specific data (e.g. t-shirt size, preferences)
Register Others
This tab is used when a supporter selects multiple tickets and needs to enter details to initiate the registration for additional participants.
For example:
Friends
Family members
Children
Colleagues
Key points:
The primary registrant enters details on behalf of others to start their registration journey
You choose from fields already created in Register Themselves
You can customise fields by ticket type (e.g. Adult vs Child)
You can simplify the experience for additional participants
Example:
Adult ticket → Full details (name, email, preferences)
Child ticket → Minimal details (first name, last name, parent/guardian email)
Confirm Registration
This is the final step of the registration journey.
It is used to:
Allow the additional registrant to confirm their details and add any remaining information to complete their registration
Capture agreements and acceptance of terms and conditions (as the primary registrant cannot accept these on their behalf, e.g. terms and conditions, marketing opt-in)
Key behaviour:
This step is completed by additional adult participants themselves (i.e. people invited by the primary registrant)
They are sent a form and must complete it to finish their own registration
Child participants do not complete this step
All fields shown here are pulled from Register Themselves
Example: Adult + Child Registration Setup
If you want to register one adult and one child, and only collect minimal details for the child:
Step 1: Configure your tickets
Go to Items > Tickets and create:
Adult Ticket
Child Ticket
Step 2: Set up "Register Themselves" (Adult)
In Register Themselves, define all available fields:
First name
Last name
Email address
Any additional fields (e.g. t-shirt size)
Note:
If you are using the fundraiser flow, the email address is automatically pulled from the fundraiser creation step, so you won’t see an email field here.
Step 3: Set up "Register Others" (Child)
In Register Others, configure fields per ticket type:
For Child Ticket, include for example:
First name
Last name
Parent/guardian email
Step 4: Confirm Registration (Adults Only)
In Confirm Registration:
Include any required confirmations (e.g. terms and conditions)
Keep this focused on adult participants only
Child tickets will not go through this step.
Key Takeaways
Register Themselves = what the primary registrant sees and where all fields are created (source of truth)
Register Others = where the primary registrant starts the registration process for additional participants (invites friends and family to complete a registration)
Confirm Registration = where additional adult participants complete their registration
