Some events allow you to select Will Call during registration.

Will Call lets you reserve your hands in the app and complete payment directly with the event organizer later (instead of paying online).

This guide explains what to expect on event day.


📝 What Happens When You Choose Will Call?

When you select Will Call at checkout:

  • Your hands are reserved

  • You do not pay in the app

  • You receive a payment deadline

  • You see pickup instructions from the organizer

Examples of instructions may include:

  • “Visit the Will Call table at check-in.”

  • “Pay at the registration booth.”

  • “Send payment via Venmo before arrival.”

Each event may handle Will Call differently — always follow the organizer’s instructions.


📍 What To Do on Event Day

Step 1: Complete Payment

Go to the location specified in the event instructions and complete your payment.

This may include:

  • Cash

  • Check

  • Venmo or Zelle

  • On-site payment methods set by the organizer

⚠️ The Aces app does not process Will Call payments.


Step 2: Get Checked In

After payment, the organizer will:

  • Scan your registration QR code, or

  • Confirm your check-in manually

Once checked in:

  • Your hands become active

  • You can begin receiving cards at stops

  • You will appear on the live leaderboard


⚠️ Important

If you are not checked in, you will:

  • Not receive cards

  • Not appear on the leaderboard

  • Not be included if the organizer deals remaining cards

If the event closes before you check in, your hands will remain inactive.


🕒 Payment Deadline

Your Will Call registration includes a payment deadline.

If you do not complete payment by that time:

  • The organizer may cancel your registration

  • Your hands may not be activated

If you’re running late, contact the event organizer directly.


🔄 Can I Switch to Paying Online Instead?

If you prefer to pay online:

  • You must register again using Credit Card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay (if available).

  • Will Call payments cannot be converted to online payments after registration.


💡 Tips for a Smooth Check-In

  • Arrive early

  • Have your app open and logged in

  • Have your QR code ready

  • Follow the organizer’s pickup instructions
