When structuring the CMS and store/product for creating a paid events system with event details and a registration button in Webflow, there are several steps to follow.

  1. Create a Collection:
  • First, create a new collection in the Webflow CMS specifically for events. This collection will hold all the event details such as title, description, date, time, location, and registration fee.
  • Set up fields within the collection to capture the necessary information for each event.
  1. Customize Collection Template:
  • Design the collection template page to display the event details.
  • Utilize dynamic content to populate the fields with information from the CMS for each event.
  • Include a registration button on the template page.
  • You can also add additional design elements, such as images or maps, to enhance the event details page.
  1. Create a Registration Form:
  • Design a form using Webflow's form builder or use a third-party form integration like Google Forms or Typeform.
  • Add form fields to collect user information such as name, email, and any other relevant details.
  • You can also include a payment field if you want to collect payment information on this form.
  1. Implement the Registration Button:
  • Link the registration button on the event details page to the registration form or cart page.
  • This can be done by setting the button's link to the URL of the form or cart page.
  1. Set Up Payment Integration (if applicable):
  • If you want to process payments for event registrations directly through Webflow, you will need to set up a payment integration.
  • Webflow currently supports several payment gateway integrations, including Stripe and PayPal.
  • Follow the instructions provided by your chosen payment gateway to integrate it with your Webflow project.

By following these steps, you can structure the CMS and store/product in Webflow to create a paid events system with event details and a registration button that leads to a form/cart for payment. Remember to test the entire registration and payment process to ensure a seamless user experience.
