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>/register for 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.)
