A registration form collects sign-ups and manages who’s in. The same core setup works across events, courses, and memberships — with a few settings that make a real difference. If you’re planning an event rather than only configuring fields, the guides to event registration software and event registration questions cover the planning layer before the form build. If the registration is paid, pair this guide with Create a Payment Form or the payment form builder to add tickets, deposits, course fees, or merchandise.

​
Choose Your Fields by Form Type

Keep it to the essentials. Every extra required field reduces completion rates.

​
Build Your Registration Form

1

Start from a Template

Click New Form → browse the Registration templates, or use Create with AI — describe your event and FormHug generates the fields and structure. If you want to compare the product-level workflow first, see the online registration form builder.
2

Configure the Email Field

On the Email field, enable No Duplicates in the field settings. This prevents the same person from registering more than once.
3

Set a Capacity Limit

If you have limited spots, go to Settings → Submission Rules → set a maximum submission count. Choose what happens at the limit: show a full message, redirect to another page, or close silently.
4

Set Up Confirmation Emails

Go to Settings → Notifications → Add Notification. Create two:
  • Admin alert: notifies you of each new sign-up
  • Registrant confirmation: recipient set to Submitter’s Email, with event details and any next steps
5

Add Payment for Paid Registration

If the event, class, or membership requires payment, add a Price-Only, Text Option, or Product payment field. Use it for registration fees, ticket tiers, deposits, or paid add-ons.
6

Publish and Share

Click Publish. Share the link directly, embed the form on your site, or generate a QR code poster for physical locations.

​
Let Registrants Check Their Status

Once registration is live, people often want to confirm they’re on the list. Use Public Query to create a self-service lookup page — registrants enter their email or ID to see their own record without you having to answer individual queries.

​
Registration Templates

Use a template when you already know the registration format you need: event registration, webinar registration, workshop registration, and course registration are ready to customize.
