This is for advanced users who want to integrate an existing (or new) application with our Club API.

Another benefit of the new Financial System is that we have greatly improved the ability for payments to a single entity across multiple races.

This is from Kei – one of the RunScore gurus! “I have had so much enjoyment working with RunSignUp on several of my latest races. The integration of their API with RunScore is great. Extremely easy and robust. I log on to the race in RunScore and am asked if I want to keep “Sync with Server” active. […]
We added an Event Transfer API: https://test.runsignup.com/API/race/:race_id/switch-participant-events/POST. This allows our technology partners to make more transparent syncing between their application and RunSignUp. This works by creating a brand new registration for the registrant and removing the old registrant, so a new registration id is generated. Also, only the basic information is copied over to the new registration. […]
