Being able to register attendees for free for paid webinar

I'm doing a paid webinar but need to be able to register some attendees myself so they don't have to pay.  Is there a way to do this besides adding them as a host or panelist?

t all depends on how you are registering the attendees. Are you using ZOOM and the paypal inbuilt collection function?

 

If so I don;t know of a way to do it, but I can suggest a workaround, i.e. register them, pay for them with your credit card and then give yourself a refund from your paypal account. Otherwise you will need to register them as panelists, ask them to come in 5 minutes before the start of the webinar before you pend the practice session and then move them to attendees.

You can do as below though this may not be ideal.

1. Uncheck paypal integration temporarily

2. Register some for free by yourself.

3. Check paypal integration.

* Others can register for free while paypal integration unchecked, so you have to do this quickly.

I was told when I asked about this last year that it could mess something up... but I am not sure what now. I was researching in hope that there was an update by now to allow for registering free guests. Adding them as panelist works if it is only a few people but if you have a large group, it is not easy! 

 

There should be an option to give someone a code or something. If you were to use the first suggestion (which is also not convenient for large numbers), you would have to pay the credit card fees. 

 

I have used Wufoo to take the payments, which will allow for free payments in addition to paid. Then I send everyone the link for the webinar set up as "no registration required". That caused all kinds of issues as well and then there is no real attendance reports. 

 

I hope that Zoom will come up with a solution to this soon.

So do I.

 

Until about the end of Feburary, it had been possible to add registrants for free by adding them through Zoom API. I hope it will work again.
