This resource will provide the steps on how to pay for an invoice you have received for a career fair registration.
To pay for a career fair:
- The registration payment status must be "Invoiced."
-
You must have a role other than Representative. If you do not have access, reach out to your company's Owner or Admin to request a role change or permission. For more information, refer to Who is the Owner of My Company's Profile?
Payments can be made from the Career Fairs registration page on Handshake. There are two ways to access the registration page:
Invoice via email
When an institution sends an invoice for a career fair, the registrant will receive an email in their inbox. The invoice will contain a link at the bottom of the email to pay by credit card.
Click the Pay Here link to be directed to the Career Fair registration page in Handshake.
- If you experience any technical issues, navigate directly to Handshake to view the registration.
- If the registration was submitted with a manual payment option, the email won't include the Pay Here link.
- To proceed with a manual payment, you'll need to follow the institution's provided instructions, or connect with the career fair's point of contact.
The email will read:

If you receive a message stating your card was declined, verify the credit card details and contact your card issuer to ensure the card is authorised to permit payments from Stripe. If your payment continues to fail, the Stripe account linked to the institution (host) might be blocking your payment method.
- Stripe will block a card for future transactions if there's ever an issue with it during a single transaction.
- To resolve the issue, reach out to the Career Fair point of contact for further assistance.
