Donation/events check out page: remove option to donate/ register as organization
We are encountering a problem when an individual registers for an event as an organization. This results in duplicate profiles of the organization, and we are unable to merge or delete the profiles because a ticket is associated with it. Additionally, we have difficulty knowing which individual from the organization is attending the event because the person registering does not usually go back to edit the guest information with their name. To solve this, we would like to have an option added to the donation and ticket check out page, allowing donors/attendees to input their Organization Name/Work Organization on the same screen where they enter their name, phone, and email, rather than registering as an organization.

You should be able to change the new organization profile to an individual, then merge it. Extra steps - I know, but that would be a current solution to the duplicates.

@Holly Spitz Thanks for your feedback! Yes, we actually have to do that a lot to clean up duplicate profiles, but the issue I'm referring to is when a duplicate profile has a ticket. The system will not allow us to merge duplicate profiles if one or the other has a ticket from a campaign. If we want to merge, we have to delete the ticket, merge the profile, and re-issue the ticket to the merged profile. We find the duplications are happening the most when an individual registers as an organization for a ticket. I thought a better alternative would be to only allow people to register as an individual, but have a field to enter their organization name if applicable.
