Cvent vs. CU StoreFronts: What's the Difference?
With the launch of CU StoreFronts, the eComm team has received occasional questions about how StoreFronts are different from Cvent and when it's appropriate to use one tool over another. In partnership with our colleagues in the Treasurer's Office, we've documented some key differences below.
Is a CU StoreFront right for me?
The CU StoreFronts are a good option for you if:
- You are selling an item (such as a graduation cord, a journal subscription, a CU science kit, etc.)
- You are hosting an annual/semi-annual event/conference but have no other event registration needs outside of that activity
- Your annual/semi-annual event/conference is not a fundraising event and/or does not include a donation component
- You don’t have a need for your event data to be integrated with Salesforce
- You are only accepting payments after issuing an invoice
If you think a CU StoreFront might be a good fit for you, learn more below or request assistance from the CU Treasury team.
