If you have offline payments enabled to allow registrants to opt for a non-credit or debit form of payment, you'll need to let the system know once you receive their payment so they can have their confirmation QR code issued.
This article will also walk through how to void an offline payment if a registrant never sends in their payment.
Note: To track offline payments in RegFox, offline payments must be enabled, and the registrant must have already submitted their registration and selected to pay via offline payments. To learn how to enable offline payments on your registration page, click here.
