What is an event booking system?
An event booking system keeps things simple with an easy process for users to take registrations for any event by enabling online/electronic registration and payment.
Can I customise my own event page?
Yes, you can fully customise your own event pages. We also provide widgets to allow you to integrate your event pages onto your website, social media pages, blogs and emails.
Is TryBooking safe?
TryBooking is fully compliant with all information security protocols to ensure the safety of all data stored on our platform.
All data stored on our systems is encrypted using industry standard encryption algorithms, and we are fully compliant with PCI security protocols for the storage of payment data. We never store full credit card information - only storing the last 4 digits to show you which card has been used to make the booking.
We take all reasonable measures to ensure your data is secure. All our data is hosted securely in the United Kingdom. We have several layers of security to prevent against attack, including multi-factor authentication, the use of secure website connections on all pages and firewalls protecting against unauthorised traffic.

Event organisers can also provide gift certificates for purchase, which can be used against any event hosted on their account.
Event organisers may also choose to accept payment via cash or cheque - however, it take a few extra steps to record these payments in TryBooking. This will ensure you gather data on all attendees, that you don't oversell your event, and allows you to present all payments in one report.
