As with all things Sales Tax related, there are complexities when it comes to refunds and sales tax! This will not be released for another month or so, but we have begun development on how sales tax refunds are handled. This blog will explain the concepts - a later blog will go thru all the...

We have added a way for referrers to view the names of their referrals through their RunSignUp profile. Registrants/Referrers can view this information by going to their PROFILE and selecting the MY REFERRALS tab: From there, the referrer will be able to see a list of their referred registrations. We show the first name, last... Continue Reading →
In the past when a participant moved from one event to another, and also changed their Add-Ons, we treated everything as a single transaction. This could result in someone moving to a more expensive event, but returning an add-on item and not owing anything. We have now changed that to keep the Add-Ons separate from... Continue Reading →
We have released a new participant management feature that will allow participants to receive a refund when someone else takes their place. This is particularly useful for sell out races with a waitlist. A good example is a race may be sold out, but there are 1,000 people on the waitlist eager to get in.... Continue Reading →

On all RunSignUp Race Websites, we have the refund policy as a top level page (you can change this in the layout tool). If refunds are enabled, there is a nice big button to click. This...

We have added a new capability to do bulk refunds for races. This useful to do things like give partial refunds to everyone in a cancelled race, or if there was a problem with the shirts or the 5K course, etc. Obviously, you will need to make sure you have enough money in your refund reserve...

RunSignUp charges a $1 fee to process refunds. Some races want to pay this fee so the participant receives a full refund. We have added an option to do this on the Refund Setup page: This also applies under the right conditions for bib exchanges as well - where the race can pick up the... Continue Reading →
We have now made the Refund Policy very visible in the participant Management page that participants see. Note you have control over what this policy says, and it does reflect the data you may have set up for Refunds. For example if you do allow refunds, but there is a $10 fee, that data is...
