Registrant Experience
What participants see on the public listing page, during checkout, and after registering.
This guide describes the public registrant experience on the Register app — useful both for registrants themselves and for staff who want to know what their participants see.
The public landing
Every listing is served at:
https://register.paddlesup.io/l/<org-slug>/<event-slug>The landing page shows:
- Listing details and competition cards
- Each option with team/gender badges, age/level requirements, format, prizes, capacity, and price (USD)
- Inline option details (no extra navigation needed)
- Native share button (where the device supports it)
- A WhatsApp Group link if the event's staff have configured one (visible to org members and staff)
Anyone can view the landing. Only signed-in users can register.
Signing in to register
Signed-out visitors see Sign in to Register CTAs on each option. After sign-in they are returned to the listing landing with the full registration flow available.
Free vs paid registration
- Free options register in one click from the option card.
- Paid options route through
/l/<org>/<event>/registerfor checkout. See Taking payments.
After you register — the confirmation view
Every listing page supports a ?view=confirmation state with a top-level
View Confirmation CTA. The confirmation view shows:
- Registration status
- Payment status (mapped to user-friendly labels)
- The last error (if any)
- A View receipt link once the Stripe receipt is available
You can also reach the confirmation view by clicking any row in
https://register.paddlesup.io/registrations — it routes directly to
/l/<org>/<event>?view=confirmation.
Highlighting your current registration
On any listing where you are registered:
- The selected option detail shows a green You are registered indicator.
- Your row in the Registrations list on the listing is highlighted with a
You badge and
aria-current="true"for accessibility. - The capacity bar and registered option cards use green styling.
Your registrations list
https://register.paddlesup.io/registrations lists every registration you
hold across the platform, sorted by event date. Cancelled registrations
remain in the list with a Cancelled badge.
The top nav
The Register app uses three primary nav items, available on desktop, mobile drawer, and the PWA bottom nav:
- Listings
- Registrations
- Payments — your saved wallet methods
(Payments was promoted to the main nav and removed from the avatar dropdown, which now only contains Version.)
