Answers.Text: In the docs you linked a payment can only be made after the participant is approved. I need to require payment when they initially register for the event, not when they are approved.

Title: Need to collect payment during event application
ThreadText: # Need to collect payment during event application
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-12-18)
  
  I'm trying to setup an event that requires approval - so when a member registers they're set to the "Awaiting Approval" status. When they register, I also need to collect a fee. The amount of the fee never changes and is the same for all events.
  
  Here is the desired event sign-up process for context:
  
  1. A member "applies" for an event and pays a small application fee.
  2. If they are approved, they are registered for the event and a deposit is required.
  3. Participants are required to pay the entirety of the event fee before arrival.
  
  From I can tell this isn't possible, but I am hoping I'm wrong. Any insight would greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks!
