**Step 2:**

- Click New Registration Fee on the right side to build a new fee.
- Fill out the Fee settings and click the "*Yes, charge the credit card when someone initially registers a team.*"

**Step 3:**

- Type in the amount of the maximum amount of money you'd like to collect at the time of check out.

- The payment will be for the accumulation of the Initial Fee, and any Features that were selected during Check Out
- Consider the "Up Front Percentage" fee box with this setting. Going back to the example within the Overview: If the Up Front Percentage is 50%, and the initial fee is $500, that would be $250 fee and $200 in T-Shirts, resulting in a $450 payment, which would be accepted. $500 would be the maximum amount that would be allowed to be paid. The remaining balance would be paid once the team is accepted into the event.
