How to add costs to items on your forms

This article shows how you can add costs to your forms on Fourwaves.

You can assign costs to certain items in your form. When a participant selects an option with a cost, a payment summary will appear on the right-hand side, showing the total amount to pay. They’ll then be taken to the payment page to complete their payment.

Adding costs to your form

  1. From your event dashboard, go to your form. Costs can be added to the forms found under Registration > Form and Submission > Form.

  2. Add a Single select, Multi select, or Dropdown question.
    (e.g., “Select your registration type.”)

  3. Click the pencil icon next to the item you want to edit.
    (e.g., “Researcher” as an option.)

  4. In the side panel, click the Pricing tab.

  5. Under Cost, enter the amount to be charged when this option is selected.
    (e.g., $250.)

Managing early bird and regular rates

To offer different rates based on the date (e.g., early bird and regular pricing):

  1. Set your early bird cost as described above.

  2. Toggle on Automatically increase at a later date

  3. Enter the new (regular) price and the date/time when it should take effect.

Example:
If “Researcher” is set to $500 (early bird), you can program it to increase to $600 automatically on September 1, 2026 at 12:00AM.
