How to Pay for an Event

Tawnya
  • Updated

This resource will provide the steps on how to pay for an invoice you have received for an on-campus event. 

 

To pay for an on-campus event: 

  • The Payment Status on the registration 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 Event overview page on Handshake. There are two ways to access the event overview page:

 

Invoice via email 

When an institution sends an invoice for an on-campus event, the registrant will receive an email in their inbox. The invoice will contain a link to view the event, and another to download the invoice.

Click the View Event link to be directed to the Event overview page in Handshake.

  • If you experience any technical issues, navigate directly to Handshake to view the registration. 
  • 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:

From: Handshake <handshake@notifications.joinhandshake.co.uk>

Subject: "Invoice for Attending event [EVENT NAME]"

Heading: "Your invoice has arrived!"

Body: "Hello [EVENT REGISTRANT FIRST NAME],
