23. The autoconfirmation field confirms the attendee as soon as they complete the registration form BUT before they have paid. So, if potential attendee fills out the form, but doesn't pay they will still be confirmed. This allows customers to sign up and it reserves their spot. Invoices could be sent out separately for payment. Leave blank if you need payment before confirmation.
