Thank you again!")* Hi, In the custom entry fields, you're supposed to select products so that they will be automatically added to the cart. The goal is two folds: - collect registrant(s) data - have them pay the necessary amount based on what they selected for each entry in the custom fields. You can read more about this here: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/75-entry-listing.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/75-entry-listing.html) I supposed that you didn't select any product, and thus you end up on an empty cart upon arriving on the checkout. But the entry data is stored in the database together with the order at the end of the checkout. But since you can't go through the checkout the data just stays in the user session and is then lost. So I see several solutions: - you could select a free product in a custom entry field so that it would be added to the cart (provided that the "display add to cart button for free products" setting is activated in the HikaShop configuration page). - you could actually do something similar with custom item fields directly on the product page of the free product. - you could use the contact form with custom contact fields and you would thus get one email for each registration to the event. But it might be hard to manage, especially if you have a lot of registrations to the event. - you could use instead a form extension to have the users register to the event through a form without having to go through the checkout. HikaShop being an ecommerce solution, the entry mechanism and almost everything in HikaShop supposes that you want to use the features to charge the user some money by going through the checkout. Having a free product allows you to go through the checkout without payment, but using HikaShop just to gather data from the user without checkout is not really the goal of the extension.
