Product Fields
A list of the fields you'll use and their descriptions when you create products in MinistryPlatform.
- Product Name
- The required title for your Product. This name displays on the Event Details & Registration Widget, so make it clear and avoid jargon.
- Congregation
- Optional. Ensure people are limited to locations through global filter permissions.
- Description
- Enter a description so staff don't create the same product concept twice.
- Base Price
- Enter the price that all registrants pay. This can be $0 for free products.
- Deposit Price
- Optional. Enter the portion of the base price that people must pay at registration. If entered, a price drop-down list displays when people register, with the Base Price as the default and the Deposit Price as an option. If the registrant pays the deposit, they can pay the balance later using My Invoices. If a deposit price is not enabled, the registrant can only pay the full base price. Note:
- People must pay one of the following to register for a paid event: the deposit price, an amount higher than the deposit price, or the full base price.
- Registrants are only required to pay the deposit amount at the time of registration, even if they select option prices.
- Promo codes do not count toward a deposit payment if there is a balance remaining after the amount that the promo code took off.
- Active
- If set to Yes, the Product is available for event registration.
- Price Currency
- If your church accepts multiple currencies, specify the currency for this Product's prices so that you charge people the correct amount. You'll find these values under .
