Brick River Registration System

Form Template and Payment Account Setup

Before creating a Registration Form there are a few set up tasks you may need to perform first.  Each form is based on a template which defines fonts style, color scheme and possibly graphic header and footer content.  If your system does not have any templates you forms will link to a generic form with black and white format and your Brick River account name as the header.

If you plan to create a form that will accept credit card payments you will need to first configure your system with your Paypal or Braintree account information.

Each of these topics is presented in the following video.

Adding/Editing a Branded Templates

The branded template editor functions as a design editing tool within the console to build a header image for your registration forms. You have the ability to create a header by adding up to three images (pictures, logos, etc.), choose titles, fonts and colors. Please see below for an explanation of each form property.

Once you have properly saved your work, you will receive a green notification box at the top center of the screen. You can now leave this page by clicking elsewhere on the website and design template will be saved.
