Arches, Drops & Races
This 200 balloon drop fitted perfectly for the dance floor area at Hidden River Barn. I installed on Friday for a Saturday wedding. I used an extendable pole to position the net & a magnet to hold the pull line. Hi David , thank you so much! It was amazing and such a hit with […]
I’m removing inactive (unpaid) balloons from the search results. Below describes a repeat issue: A user sets up a balloon named “example” and doesn’t pay. They return and setup a new balloon named “example” and pay. Next – they search for balloon “example” and the inactive balloon displays first. I’m guessing they have a small […]
The race now has a minimum price per balloon or duck @£3 each (this is the price you charge). The cost of processing a payment of £3 or less is more than the 12% fee so to protect all payouts a £3 minimum is required. For example, the cost of processing a £1 transaction via […]
You can now edit your list of balloons. You can find this in the “administer the balloons” section of admin. Simply choose from the visual images of each design and they’ll change to colour when they’re selected. Save changes to complete your amendments. This has been a popular request since I added themed balloons like […]
This week we’ve added a floating menu to the admin area. This gives quick access to the list of participants & an easy link to view your race page after you’ve made your changes. It saves scrolling down the page to the very bottom and nice big buttons are easy to click or touch.
Balloons, Ducks & Kites in the order they appear on the drop down list. Extra ducks only available in a The Duck Race, the above plain coloured ducks are included:
4 New Halloween balloons added to The Balloon Race.
Why did I receive a payment receipt from Stripe when I didn’t buy the balloons? Stripe can only complete a transaction with a valid email address. If an invalid email address is entered the card payment box appears greyed out so it’s not possible to enter any card details. Rather than refuse the payment stripe […]
This month we’ve added 32 new flag balloons to represent every country entering the Women’s World Cup. Included is a stadium background which you’ll find in the backgrounds library. Fingers crossed not everybody goes for “England”. We also have instant setup: https://balloonrace.net/selfregistration/ This is a personal relief for me as I’ve been manually setting up […]
Just in time for The Coronation we’ve added some flag balloons. Like most updates this was requested by a race administrator and I’ll look to expand the flag selection depending on popularity. I’ll need to add these to the downloads page which will happen over the following week.
Apple & Android pay have been added to the checkout. Everybody seems to be buying their balloons & ducks on the move so this makes payments easy and helps those who don’t carry their bank cards. The confirmation email link now displays an “Already paid for” message to stop those paying twice for the same […]
