Wix Events: Setting Registration Opening & Closing Times in Advance

Set the dates and times for when guests can RSVP or purchase tickets for an event. Scheduling the opening and closing of registration in advance is useful if you want to promote events well ahead of time but aren't ready to accept registrations yet.

Additionally, you may choose to close registration a few days before the event to allow sufficient time for preparation.

In this article, learn how to set registration dates for:

• RSVP events

• Ticketed events

Setting registration dates for RSVP events

Setting registration dates for ticketed events
