At a glance

• One codebase, separate installs. Each organization runs its own WordPress site; no data is shared between them.
• Events are the top-level unit. A registration is one participant for one event, with its own status, link and balance. Each event’s budget is separate.
• No account needed to register. Every registration has a personal link to its status page. A WordPress account is optional: it collects registrations, can hold several people (family, youth group) and can pay everything at once.
• Money is an append-only ledger. Every change is a new, explained line. Price changes after registration apply only through an explicit, previewed re-pricing.
• Core plus extensions. The core plugin covers events, forms, registrations, rules, ledger, status pages and administration. Payments through WooCommerce, financial aid, sponsor support, programs, lodging, check-in, buffet wallet and donations are separate extension plugins.
• Built on WordPress itself: its admin components, REST API, permissions, block editor (for forms and mail templates) and interactive front end, rather than third-party form or admin plugins.
