Downloading your registration list or use online check-in

You can download your list of registrations for your event, or if the majority of sales are online you can use a computer and check your attendees in directly on the website.  The website will show you the details of everyone who has tried to register, so it is important to look at the list to make sure that they have successfully made payment.
