  1. From the author portal, refer to the navigation on the left of your screen. Select “Event Order Forms” and then in the top right, select “Create Order Form”.

2. Create form for Signing Event: This page will allow you to search for signings by the title, nickname or city, no invitation necessary. If the event is not listed, you can create it yourself.

3. Customize your Event Order Form

  • Instructions: Use this box to include any refund policies and instructions.

  • Form Close Date: Your form will close on this date and no additional orders will be accepted after this date.

  • Currency: Select your preferred currency for this event.

  • Deposits: Allow readers to pay a deposit in order to secure their order and pay the remaining balance in installments before your form close date. You can select your preferred deposit percentage as well as a minimum order total before a deposit is allowed. Be sure to include a deposit policy. Example: $100.00 deposit minimum with 20% collected at the time of order.

4. Select “Create & Continue”.

5. On the “Products” Tab, you can choose “Assign All Products” or “Select Products”. This allows you to customize your available inventory to the specific event (perfect for event exclusives) OR offer your all of the products you’ve added to your account.

6. Once you’ve selected the Products, you’ll need to set pricing. Additionally, using the kebab menu (three dots to the left of the pricing), you can set a 1 per customer option and provide a set stock limit. Then select “Save”.

7. Using the “Settings” tab, you can review or edit the form’s Description, Terms & Conditions, edit Form Close Date and Deposits. This tab can also be used to delete the order form.

8. Select “Publish” at the top right of the page. Once you’ve published the form, it will now appear under the Signing Event’s page and will also notify your followers that your Event Order Form is now available.
