Depending on your requirements, We have worked with many organisations in the past to create integrations with CRM systems including Salesforce, as well as integrations with websites and intranet pages. Please see the list of available modules that can be integrated with your account. If an application you require is not listed, please contact our support team or call our helpline for quicker answers. Q. Can I accept online payment through Eventive? A.

We integrate with secure payment gateways including PostFinance, Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, amongst others. Once you have an account with one of these providers, enter your account key in our system and Eventive will do the rest. Delegates will be redirected to these payment gateways when they register for a paid event.

Delegates can register themselves and others on our system. If you have a large group, the group leader can bulk add attendees. Q. Does Eventive handle accommodation rooming lists?
A. Yes. With Eventive, you can ask your delegates to register for hotel rooms and pull off a rooming list of those who have registered for that hotel. It doesn't end there, as an example you may be running a 3 day conference that includes a free day for delegates to take a break one of the days and do an excursion, they can fill out their excursion interest upon registration and you can compile a booking sheet for that excursion too to make your life easier to book the excursion with the provider.
