# Price groups (types of participation)

In Converia, the different types of participants are referred to as *price groups*. Different offer prices or offers can be configured for each price group. In the frontend, the *participation type* (= price group, Fig. 1) is selected at the start of the booking process and the bookable options are then displayed in the *offer overview*.

### New price groups are created in the *offer wizard* within an *offer*:

* *New price group* button (Fig. 2)
* Enter the name of the price group in the field (Fig. 2).
* Specify whether the price group should be **visible in the frontend**&#x20;
  * Visible price groups are displayed in the selection in the registration process for all persons.
  * Non-visible price groups can either be used for internal purposes and [backend bookings](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/manage-persons-and-attendees/managing-bookings-and-invoices/create-new-bookings) or activated via [voucher codes](https://manual.converia.de/en/attendees/vouchers/configure-types-of-vouchers#make-payment-methods-visible) in the frontend.
* Determine whether the **price group** is **subject to verification**.&#x20;
  * For price groups requiring proof of membership, an upload area is available after registration where proof of membership/student status can be stored.

The *price table* within the offers is made up of price groups and the registration periods and only needs to be created once. The structure is adopted for all other offers.
