This article will guide you through registering a non-member to an event.
in order to register non-members into events, the event configuration must be setup to allow for this scenario. The first part of this article deals with modifying the event configuration to allow for this, if it hasn’t been already turned on.
The only way to register a non-member into an event is to step through the registration process on their behalf. If you already have the link to the event registration, you can skip this article and simply proceed to the link and complete the registration.
This registration method will not provide an opportunity to pay for the ticket. You must create a ticket type that is accessible to non-members and which costs $0; if you wish to charge for this ticket, you must create an invoice outside of this process.
Enable or Confirm Non-Member Registration
1. Log into your Member365 Administrator Dashboard.
2. On the top bar, click ‘Events‘.

5. Click the ‘Registration‘ tab.
6. Click the left half of the toggle button labelled ‘Registration open to non-members?’, which will turn it green if it is not green already.

Registering for the Event
8. Log out of your Member365 Administrator account by clicking your name in the upper-right corner and then clicking ‘Logout’ from the drop-down menu that appears.

13. Enter the quantity of each ticket type to be assigned to this registrant, then click ‘Continue to Step 2‘.
