Overview
- Our team manages two University approved options, TouchNet and Cvent, for accepting event/meeting registration admission fees.
- Both of the below options require the creation of a merchant ID number (MID).
Which Event Type Works Best for Me?
- TouchNet can do simple and free one-time events.
- Cvent is the preferred choice for complex events which can include event management, mobile apps, email marketing, and web surveys.
- Cvent is a TouchNet-ready partner which means all credit card payments for a Cvent registration will go through TouchNet.
*Note: All credit cards processed are subject to UW Merchant and credit card fees. TouchNet can process free events for a small setup fee.
