Variable Cost Language

Pricing messages on event registration pages now automatically reflect the full cost structure including session and add-on fees.

As of February 2, 2026, a unified pricing message displays on event registration pages that combines base registration fees and any additional session or add-on costs. Event creators do not need to take any action — messages are generated automatically based on the event's fee configuration.

What Changed

Previous Approach

Pricing information was displayed as separate messages by fee type. Events marked as "Free" that included paid add-ons or session fees could mislead participants about the total cost.

Updated Approach

A single unified pricing message now auto-displays on the public registration page. The message adjusts based on the combination of registration fees and additional fees configured for the event.
