Payment Questions
- Once you have completed your registration online and you have entered the credit card information, please make sure to wait for the confirmation page. This page tells you that you are confirmed, and ensures that you receive a confirmation e-mail.
- If a confirmation page does not pop up and/or you do not receive a confirmation e-mail, your charge transaction has not gone through.
- Sometimes e-mails do not go through to recipients because of spam filtering (this is almost always the case with aol addresses). Please be sure that you have added www.clickertraining.com to your email address book so that our e-mails get through to you.
If you get an error message during your transaction or the system times out and nothing happens for at least a few minutes, it means that the process is not finished and you have not been charged. If the process went through and registration was completed successfully, the system will send you a confirmation e-mail automatically.
- If you have gone through part or all of the registration process and you get an Incomplete Registration e-mail (and no confirmation e-mail), it means you are not registered and you were not charged. You will need to go back and register again. These messages are generated automatically and do not require a reply.
- If you get no message (confirmed or incomplete), please check your spam and/or junk mail folders.
If the system will not take your credit card:
- Please check to make sure you are using Mastercard, Visa or American Express.
- Please be sure that the credit card info that you entered online matches exactly the billing info your credit card company has on file, or the card will not process. Do not hit the back button or close the window before the credit card has finished processing, or you will not be registered.
If the credit card transaction still does not go through, please email us at expoUK@clickertraining.com.
