Online Entry (optional)

Online entry lets you easily and seamlessly accept online entries to your show. Eliminate the time consuming drudgery of manually entering user names, addresses, class selections etc. Automate the process with HSS's Online Entry system.

Simply publish your show to HorseShowsOnline.com with the online entry feature enabled and your show is ready to receive online entries and optionally collect credit card payments for stall and other fees.

Exhibitors use a simple and efficient online entry wizard that collects information for each person, horse, classes entered, and fee quantities.

The entry form is automatically generated by HSS. No need to waste time and money typesetting, printing or handling your entry forms. Settings are provided so that you can customize the online entry form's content to include the standard USEF agreement text or use your own. Optionally include your company or show logo on the entry form if desired. Other options are available to tailor the online entry experience to match your requirements.

Fees shown during online entry are configurable.

Optionally allow users to select fee quantities during online entry.

Examples: Allow editing of stall fees so the exhibitor can specify the number of extra stalls required, Allow selection of camper site quantities, Allow selection of dinner tickets etc.

Once an exhibitor completes an online entry, the entry form is automatically generated, filled, and sent to your HSS database for processing.

The people, horse, class selections, payments received and other necessary information is automatically entered into your show database - NO data entry required! Just a few button clicks to review and accept the entry.

Per online entry fee:

$1.55 per online entry you receive.

IMPORTANT:
You only pay for online entries you receive.

Example: You have 230 entries in your show. Of the 230 entries, you receive 10 online entries. Total cost would be $15.50.

Credit Card Processing (optional)

This feature is entirely optional. You can of course continue to manually process credit cards externally to HSS and HorseShowsOnline at no cost.

The small cost of using integrated credit card processing and collecting credit card payments along with your online entries is much more efficient and will save you time.

Consider the benefit of collecting stall and other entries fees well in advance of your show. Improve your cash flow and ensure you have received payment prior to the show.

Credit card security.

HSS and HorseShowsOnline do NOT store protected credit card information.

Credit card transactions are processed through a secure SSL connection to a PCI Level 1 facility that communicates directly with your payment processor (ie: bank, paypal, etc) gateway.

Per transaction fee (E-commerce or point of sale).
This fee is charged when you process a payment using HSS's built in credit card processing feature or accept a credit card payment for an online entry:

$0.25 (25 cents) per transaction

Note that the usual fees charged by your bank / merchant account still apply - we have no control over what your bank / merchant account charges for credit card processing.

SMS Text Messaging (optional)

HSS and HorseShowsOnline provide integrated SMS text messaging support.
This allows you to send text messages to exhibitors in your show directly from your HSS show management software.
HorseShowsOnline will also send text messages to inform exhibitors of important events, invoice notifications, and signature requests.

Important 10DLC registration information:
10DLC is a recent mandatory requirement that has been imposed by the primary SMS carriers in the USA that is intended to curtail text SPAM.
All applications / systems that send text messages are required to have a 10DLC regsitration for their "Brand" and "Campaign".
Without a proper 10DLC registration any texts you send will get blocked / filtered by the carriers (IE: AT&T, T-Mobile and others). In other words, your text messages will NOT be delivered.
This is an industry wide requirement and not specific to Twilio or any other text messaging provider.

Two Options for sending SMS text messages from your show:

Option 1: Use your own Twilio SMS account:
You can configure the system to use your own Twilio SMS account at no additional cost from HorseShowsOnline.
However you will need to ensure you have succesfully registered your "Brand" (your company) AND you have to register your "Campaign" with the 10DLC registry.
This can be a technically challenging process, but does offer a lower cost for text messaging if you are able to implement the necessary policies, opt-in / opt-out and other 10DLC requirements.
You are responsible for acquiring and configuring a Twilio SMS account, Brand and Campaign, and 10DLC registration. Expect the registration process to take 3-4 weeks assuming you meet all the requirements.
Option 1 - Costs:
All costs for SMS are billed to you by Twilio. There is no cost by HorseShowsOnline.com or Timeslice Technlogies Corporation for a Twlio account / Twilio messaging.
Contact Twilio.com for inquiries and assistance.

Option 2: Use HSO text messaging - The Easy SMS solution:
If you are unable or unwilling to setup your own Twilio SMS account you can use HSO as your text messaging platform.
You require an SMS-STD subscription on the account you register your shows under.
You will be assigned a unique SMS phone number in the state/region of your preference.
SMS per message costs will be billed approximately one week after the completion of your show.
Option 2 - Costs:
Annual subscription: $150 (once per year)
Per SMS message sent/received: $0.05

FAQ

What if I need help?

Technical support is FREE.

Horse show software is a mission critical part of your show. You simply can't afford to rely on a software vendor that is not available when you need them, or want to charge you additional fees for assistance.

Technical support is here whenever you need help with setting up your show or to help resolve problems with your computer or network. It's all included in your HSS licence at no additional cost.

We provide support via telephone, email, and direct remote assistance to your computer. All you have to do is phone or email us and we will respond 7 days a week.

If you need assistance, use the phone or email information listed on our contact page.

What is an "Entry"?

When you enter a horse into the show and give the horse an entry number that is considered ONE entry. The horse may be entered into as many classes as you want - it still counts as ONLY ONE entry.

Only entries that are entered into one or more classes will count. "Barn" accounts are NOT counted in the overall entry count for a show.
You CAN have billing only entries at no cost (Barn accounts). IE: Entries that do not compete in any classes do not use up your entry count.

What if I exceed my entry count?

If you have an annual "Unlimited shows per year" and have one large show you can purchase a single show upgrade to cover that show. For example if you have a 400 maximum entries per show annual licence but have one big show with 900 entries a single show upgrade is available to extend your licence for the show.

Contact our sales and registrations team if you need a single show upgrade.
