Classy Live Support Center
March 2023 Product Releases
Open Beta for Stripe CC Readers (not swipers)
Classy Live is integrating with the Stripe BBPOS WisePOS E Card device here. This is an Open Beta. Meaning, the card order form will be made available for Clients interested to Opt-in, to order CC readers. The card readers work by enabling a new payment option when collecting card information at check-in, check-out or in between. Admins could quick pull up an attendee, click to add payment and use the creader to tap, swipe or insert the card. The payment will thereafter be saved to the attendees profile for checkout.
Questions:
How do Organizations enlist for the open Beta? They can reach out to Classy support.
When will the readers be out of Beta and in general release? TBD, if all is well, shortly after the Beta period.
Is this specific Stripe WisePOS device the only card reader we are integrating with at this time? Yes.
What if I have this exact same device already, can I integrate with my event? TBD
Bi-directional Sync
Enabling Event Admins to directly edit Attendee information within Classy Live. This removing the friction from navigating between Campaign manager and the Event. Initial phase: First name, Last name, Email.
SSO [Single sign-on between Classy and Classy Live]
A single sign on for Admins accessing their Classy and Classy Live accounts. This will leverage the Classy core login. Once released, Admins will only need to login once to be able to access either site.
Question - Does this mean all Classy [core] Admins can access Classy Live? No, This does not grant permissions to Admins that do not have access to Classy Live, it just uses SSO to automatically authenticate their login if they have access.
Max Bid
An optional new feature available on the setup of Silent auction items. If enabled, attendees interacting with a Silent Auction can enter a desired max bid amount. Thereafter, the system will automatically advance their bids until their maximum is reached.
