Good to know

  • Why a separate form? The booking form is kept short on purpose, so fewer customers give up at checkout. The post-purchase form collects everything else once the booking is made.

  • Required fields must be filled in before the customer can submit the post-purchase form. They have already booked by then.

  • Reminders are automatic. If the customer hasn't sent their details within 24 hours, membermeister emails them a reminder.

  • Trial bookings use it too. Customers who book a trial through your booking page get the post-purchase form, not your main registration form.
