Can I set up my registration option funds to go to one bank account, and my registrant's donations to go to another bank account?
No. All money that is collected on a single page is transferred to the same bank account. If you have one page with both registration options and a donation field, all funds will go to the same bank account. If you want all Donations to go to a separate bank account, we recommend setting up a new RegFox page, and adding a different payment processor under a different bank account to this page.
