How is a $0 "zero dollar Product" used in the Store?

There are several ways the Store can be used for purposes other than to actually sell items. By going to Store > Add Items > Add a Product and setting the price of the Product to $0, you can create a way to:

  • RSVP for an event that requires a meal preference.
  • Have a specific group fill out a form.
  • Register for a camp, where the purchaser does not need to be a member of BoosterHub.
  • Collect specific data from a purchaser when a Registration is not required by using the Add-on feature. (You do not want to have multiple Registration Pages to collect user information because each new page a user fills out will delete their old information.)

Using a zero dollar Product means that when a customer “purchases” the Product, you can track inventory, run reports, or use any of the other Store reporting. It also means that you can share the Store link for that Product anywhere outside of BoosterHub.

To create a zero dollar Product,

  • Add the Product to your Online Store.
  • Navigate to Webmaster, then to the Store Page, then click on your Product.
  • Copy Shareable Link from the icon in upper right.
  • Uncheck the item from your Online Store.
  • Create a new page in Webmaster.
  • Select the Type “Link to External Page.”
  • Enter the Product link you copied.
  • Save and Publish.
