If you're on Event Caddy PRO you can create different sponsorship packages (such as hole sponsor, platinum sponsor and so on) and have them available for sale through your online store.
For optimal organization and tracking, sponsorship packages should be listed in the Online Store rather than under Registration Options. This approach streamlines inventory management and ensures a consistent user experience.
Each time you sell one of these sponsorship packages you have the option to give the sponsor recognition by adding their logo to your tournament site and placing them under the category of your choosing (which should match the sponsor category from your online store so everything is consistent).
Let's walk through an example of how this all ties together:
I've upgraded my tournament to Event Caddy PRO so I can sell sponsorships through an online store. I plan to offer three sponsorship packages - gold, silver and bronze.
STEP 1: On my admin dashboard I select Finances & Commerce -> Online Store from the side navigation then select the Manage Categories button to create a category called "Sponsorships" (click here for full details on how to create product categories).
STEP 2: With my 'Sponsorship' category in place I now select Finances & Commerce -> Online Store to create my Gold Sponsor, Silver Sponsor and Bronze Sponsor products (click here for full details on how to create products). Be sure to select "Is this product a Sponsorship" to automatically collect sponsors information during their checkout.
STEP 3: My sponsor packages have been created and "Is this product a Sponsorship" has been selected. Now we are ready for prospective sponsors to purchase from my online store. The restaurant Alpine Fresh Coffee goes to the online store for my tournament and chooses to purchase the Silver Sponsor product. They complete the transaction and the revenue gets added to the Event Finances section on my tournament dashboard. Their logo, dollar amount and website address get added to Event Website -> Sponsors (disabled by default so you can review it).
STEP 4: Back on my admin dashboard, I go to Event Website -> Sponsors to toggle the new sponsor logo to show as Visible on my tournament website.

If you are on the FREE version of Event Caddy, you do not have access to the online store so you cannot sell sponsorships. You would only be able to display a sponsor's logo if they agree to that (and why wouldn't they when it's free advertising for them and shows they contributed to an amazing cause?). For free tournaments, logos can be manually added under Event Website -> Sponsors after adding sponsor Categories.

How do I enable the store 'Become a Sponsor' button on my website homepage, it isn't showing?
Ensure the button is not hidden under My Event -> Event Setup & Settings -> Event Settings
Can I see who has purchased a product/item from my Online Store and produce a report? I need a report on a specific product that has been purchased.
To see a list of who has purchased items from your Online Store, you can go to Finances & Commerce -> Online Store. Beside each product (if someone has purchased it) there is a link for 'Consumer Reports'. This will take you to a page with a list of transactions for that item, where you can also download a CSV if needed.
