Understand: Public vs. Private Registration

Choose how Participants and/or Teams can be added to your Peer-to-Peer fundraiser.

When you add Peer-to-Peer to your RallyUp Experience, you’ll have the option to choose between public and private registration for your Participants and/or Teams. Public registration allows anyone who visits your Participant Center to register to participate, while private registration requires you to add Participants and/or Teams manually.

Public Registration

This option is only available if you add a Participant Center to your Peer-to-Peer Experience. During setup, you'll create one or more registration options (e.g., individual and group registration) that will display in the Participant Center. When someone visits the Participant Center, they'll be able to select a registration option and sign up:

Public registration is the best choice if you want as many people to sign up as possible to increase your fundraiser's reach.

Private Registration

This option prevents your supporters from signing themselves up to participate. Instead, you'll need to manually add any Participants and/or Teams yourself.

How-to: Add Peer-to-Peer Participants and/or Teams

If you add Private registration to your Experience, registration options will not be displayed:

Private registration is best for limiting participation to only a specific group of people, such as a list of students, employees, or other groups. 

Good to Know

  • You can always add or import Participants and Teams manually, regardless of whether you choose public or private registration. 
  • You can add and import Participants and Teams both before and after your Experience is published. 
  • Requiring an email address for Participants will allow them to create a RallyUp account and access their Dashboard. They'll also receive an email notification anytime someone credits them for a donation. If you enable Personal Fundraising Pages, they'll be emailed a link to their Personal Fundraising Page so they can edit and share it.
