This guide explains how to register for a Solarplaza event without creating a Solarplaza account. It also explains the available payment options and what to expect during the registration process.
Before you begin

If you register without a Solarplaza account, payment by credit card is the only available payment method
If you need to pay by invoice, you must register using a Solarplaza account (learn more in the Related Article: How do I create a Solarplaza account?)

Note: in some cases, there may be combo tickets available or local and international rates, so ensure that you select the one that best fits your needs.
If you have received a promotion (discount code) enter it in the grey box reflected within the screenshot below (highlighted within the green rectangle).
If you do not have a promotion (discount code) leave this box blank.
Select Continue to proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Enter the attendee information
You will now find yourself on the Attendee Information page.
Fill in all the required information, especially those marked with an asterisk (*) which are mandatory required fields and shown in Figure 7. Review the available add-ons and select the option(s) you would like to add to your registration, as shown in Figure 8.

Important: If you're purchasing multiple tickets, you'll need to enter the details for each attendee.
Step 4: Complete the billing information
After completing the attendee information, select Continue to proceed to the Billing Information page, as shown in Figure 9.
Complete the required billing fields for the person or organization responsible for paying for the registration. If you are purchasing tickets on behalf of someone else and would like your details to appear on the invoice, enter your own billing information instead of the attendee's details.
Select the Payment method (in this instance 'Pay by Card').
Reminder: As mentioned at the start of this guide, registering for an event without a Solarplaza account will only allow you to pay with credit card and that is why this is the only option reflected here.
Tick on the boxes titled “I consent to Solarplaza handling my billing for event services and confirm I've read the Privacy Policy” and “I agree to the Solarplaza Terms and Conditions” before clicking on the final step to submit payment.

Tip: If the billing contact is also attending the event, select ‘Copy from attendee information’ to automatically populate the billing fields. You only need to complete any remaining billing address details and provide a VAT number, if applicable.
Important: If your organization has a VAT number, enter it in the VAT Number field. Depending on your billing country and organization, a VAT number may be required to complete your registration. If you're unsure whether you need to provide a VAT number. Learn more in the related article: Why is a VAT number required?
Step 5: Complete payment
Select Submit payment, as shown in Figure 10.
You'll be redirected to Stripe's secure payment page to complete your purchase using your credit card. Credit card payments are processed securely through Stripe. Solarplaza does not store your credit card details.
Once your payment has been processed successfully:
your event registration will be confirmed;
you'll receive a confirmation email; and
your ticket will appear in your Solarplaza account (if you registered with one) or be sent to the email address used during registration.
