Event Cancellation Insurance: Improvements & Upgrades

Date

May 21, 2025 by Sarah Brown

Nearly a year after launching one of our most impactful product releases, we’ve made meaningful enhancements driven by your feedback. Our goal with introducing Event Cancellation Insurance was twofold: first, to help organizers avoid financial losses from refunds; and second, to offer attendees protection against unexpected, unavoidable situations - a true win-win for everyone involved. As always, thank you for sharing with us. It’s clear: your voice helps shape what we do.Here’s what’s new:

  • Event organizers can now see who purchased Vertical Insure event cancellation insurance on the attendee's registration. 
  • Attendee's can now see if they have purchased Vertical Insure event cancellation insurance from their attendee dashboard. 
  • Attendees can now purchase event cancellation insurance when registering someone else or when registering and paying with credits. 
  • Attendees can choose to purchase event cancellation insurance when editing their registration and haven't previously purchased a policy. 

Overall benefits of Vertical Insure to your organization:

  • Event Cancellation Insurance allows you to keep often non-refundable registration fees in place while giving participants peace of mind. It protects your revenue and encourages future registrations by providing a safety net for attendees. 
  • Offering Registration Cancellation Insurance reduces refund requests by 46%, easing admin workload and allowing your team to focus on delivering a great experience for drivers and riders.

Organizer FAQ's:

  • As the organizer, what do I need to do when an attendee cancels but has signed up for Event Cancellation Insurance?
    Absolutely nothing. After purchasing coverage, registrants will receive a confirmation email from Vertical Insure, which includes detailed instructions on how to file a claim and answers to common questions. If they need further assistance, they can easily reach out to support@verticalinsure.com, where their support team is ready to help with any concerns.
  • Where can I see if the attendee has purchased the insurance so I don’t accidentally refund them? 
    On an attendees registration, just below Packages & Payments:

Say goodbye to processing fees! Lower your overhead with our new Fee Pass-Through feature.

Date

October 24, 2024 by Kurt Neller

As your trusted motorsports partner, we're constantly seeking new ways to increase your profitability. We know that every penny matters, which is why we're thrilled to introduce our latest feature: Fee Pass-Through.

Fee Pass-through allows you the choice to transfer all payment processing fees to your attendee. This functionality has been asked for by many organizers over the years and we're happy to make it available to those who wish to utilize it. 

What does this look like from your attendee’s perspective? To ensure a smooth and user-friendly experience for your customers, we’ve clearly outlined the fees for each payment method during checkout. This empowers attendees to choose the most cost-effective option while providing complete transparency on upfront costs. The Fee Pass-Through feature applies to events charged at registration, waitlisted, or deferred. If a registration is modified, the processing fee will be recalculated based on the current rates.

Example of your attendees' Fee Pass-through Experience 

Fee Passthrough Mockup (1)

To begin using Fee Pass-through, head to Settings >> Account Options and check the Fee Pass-Though box.

Note: Fee Pass-Through's default is "off", meaning nothing changes unless your organization decides it would like to pass through payment processing fees to attendees. An admin from your organization must enable this feature if desired, and it will only apply to registrations which occur after the feature is enabled.

The addition of Fee Pass-Through paves the way for upcoming enhancements to our platform. 

Stay tuned for more updates on what's coming soon!
