Store Item Availability Period
Adding, Rearranging and Deleting Items
If you have merchandise related to your race, such as hoodies, wristbands, or even cowbells, then you may want to consider setting up a store on RunSignup. This way, all of the elements related to your race can be found in one spot.
Stores are useful for events that want to sell multiple types of items to registrants as well as the general public. By default, users do not need to register for the race to access the store, but registrants are prompted to purchase store items during registration.
RunSignup has multiple options for organizing your Race Merchandise sales and inventory. Store items in particular allow races to offer up their merchandise to registrants as well as the general public. RunSignup stores also allow more sophisticated per-item option fee options.
To begin creating an online store for your race, select Store--->Setup on your main dashboard.
Why isn’t my store showing on my race page?
If you have set up a store, and it is not showing up on your race page and/or registration page then you either have no available items in your store at the moment, or you have hidden the store tab.

Race Merchandise Options
If you have a large selection of merchandise options available for your race, such as hoodies, wristbands, or even cowbells, then you may want to consider setting up Add-Ons on RunSignup. This way users will be given the option to purchase numerous additional items during their registration process.
Add ons are useful if you would like to offer more than just a Giveaway to your registrants. Users are only able to purchase add ons during or after registration. Users cannot purchase an add on item without registering for the race. If you would like to offer items for sale to those who are not registering see the guide on how to set up a Race Store.
