Account Setup & Management
Do I need to create a Stripe account first?
No, you can create a Stripe account directly through our platform's integration process. Once you start setting up your event on Ticket Fairy, you'll be guided through creating and connecting your Stripe account seamlessly.
What information do I need to connect my Stripe account?
You'll need basic business information, including your legal business name, address, website URL (if available), and banking details for payouts. You'll also need to provide identification for account verification purposes, which is a standard requirement for financial compliance.
Reporting & Analytics
How will I track sales and revenue through Stripe?
You'll have access to sales data in both your Ticket Fairy dashboard and your Stripe dashboard. Ticket Fairy dashboard provides comprehensive event-specific analytics, while your Stripe dashboard offers detailed financial reporting, reconciliation tools, and transaction histories.

Using Stripe for Specific Event Types
Is Stripe suitable for both small and large events?
Absolutely. Stripe's scalability makes it perfect for events of all sizes. For small events, you benefit from easy setup with no monthly fees required. For large events, you gain enterprise-grade security, high transaction capacity, and comprehensive financial reporting.
Can Stripe handle payment plans for high-value tickets?
Yes, our integration with Stripe supports installment payment plans for high-value tickets. You can offer your customers the option to pay in multiple installments while still receiving your revenue according to the payment schedule you set up.
Refunds & Customer Service
How are refunds handled with Stripe?
Refunds can be processed directly through your Ticket Fairy dashboard with a few clicks. When you issue a refund, the money is returned to the customer's original payment method through Stripe, and the ticket is automatically invalidated. You can issue full or partial refunds depending on your refund policy.
What happens to Stripe fees when I issue a refund?
When issuing a refund within Stripe's standard refund window (typically 60 days), Stripe will refund their processing fees as well. For refunds outside this window, the processing fee may not be refunded. Ticket Fairy service fee handling for refunds depends on your specific agreement and event policies.
Technical Integration
Can I customize the checkout experience for my brand?
Yes, our Stripe integration allows for extensive branding customization. You can add your logo, brand colors, and custom messaging to the checkout process while maintaining Stripe's secure payment infrastructure. This creates a seamless brand experience throughout the customer journey.
Is the Stripe integration mobile-friendly?
Absolutely. The checkout process is fully mobile responsive and optimized for all devices. Mobile users benefit from streamlined payment methods like Apple Pay, which can increase conversion rates by making it easier to complete purchases on mobile devices.
Compliance & Tax Handling
How does Stripe handle tax calculations and reporting?
Stripe can automatically calculate, collect, and report applicable taxes based on your event location and tax settings. You can configure tax rates for different regions, and Stripe will provide detailed tax reports for your accounting records. This simplifies compliance with local tax regulations.
Does Stripe meet international data protection standards?
Yes, Stripe is compliant with major data protection regulations including GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, and other international standards. This means your customers' payment data is handled according to strict privacy and security protocols, reducing your compliance burden as an event organizer.
Getting Started
How long does it take to get my Stripe account approved?
Stripe decides account verification times after reviewing your business details. Start the connection from Ticket Fairy and Stripe will show anything else it needs from you.
Can I test the platform before going live with my event?
Yes, you can create test events and process test payments using Stripe's test mode. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the platform, customize your event settings, and test the entire checkout flow without processing real payments. Once you're ready, switching to live mode is as simple as toggling a setting.
Ticket Fees & Free Events
Who pays for your ticket fee?
The ticket buyer usually pays the service fee, or you can choose to absorb it. The fee shown for the ticket includes Stripe payment processing, so the buyer does not see a separate Stripe charge later.
Do you charge for free events?
There is no ticketing fee for a free event when every ticket is complimentary. Ticketing fees apply when you sell paid tickets.
Do you charge for issuing guest tickets?
There is no ticket fee for complimentary guest tickets. You can issue them for staff, VIPs and other invited attendees, then keep them on the same guest and entry lists as paid tickets.
Additional Payment Options
I need cashflow for my festival. Can I get regular payouts?
Yes. Get paid daily when your Stripe payment processing account and country qualify. Put ticket revenue toward deposits, production and marketing while sales are still live.
What makes the payment gateway within your event ticketing software reliable?
Stripe processes the payment while Ticket Fairy handles ticket delivery and entry. Offer cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and payment plans where they are available in your country.
Customisation & Branding
What level of customization do you provide?
Add your event artwork, colours and header, then collect the attendee details your event needs with custom checkout questions. Stripe processes the payment while Ticket Fairy keeps the buyer, order and ticket together.
Can I sell tickets on my own website or mobile apps?
Yes. Add the Ticket Fairy checkout to your website with a buy button or inline embed, including promo codes, add-ons, custom questions and eligible payment plans. Use the React SDK for a fully unbranded buying experience, while Stripe processes the payment through your Stripe payment processing account.
Advanced Features
Do you support add-ons?
Yes. Offer merchandise, parking, meal packages, camping or VIP upgrades after the buyer chooses a ticket. You decide which tickets each add-on belongs with, and Stripe processes the payment.
Do you support virtual events?
Yes. Sell access to online or hybrid events, use the Zoom integration or bring your own stream, and give ticket holders an online event watch page. Stripe processes payments in the countries it serves.
Ticket Types & Management
What types of tickets can I sell?
Sell general admission, VIP, table or booth bookings, timed entry and reserved seats. Set capacity, sale dates, prices and entry rules, then take the Stripe payment methods available in your country.
Can I limit how many tickets one person can buy?
Yes. Set a purchase limit for each ticket type and control its total capacity. These limits help more buyers get a fair chance when demand is high.
Do you support reserved seating?
Yes. Buyers can choose available seats from an interactive map, while the same event can also include standing or general-admission areas. Your team can create a seating chart in the dashboard and take the payment through Stripe.
Ticket Distribution & Check-in
How do attendees receive their tickets?
After purchase, attendees receive digital tickets by email with unique QR codes. They can also open them in their Ticket Fairy account, print them or show the QR code on their phone at entry.
What options do you have for access control? Do you have an event check-in app?
Use Entry Fairy on most iOS or Android phones and tablets to scan tickets, give door staff their own logins and keep every entrance moving. Connect your existing RFID or cashless partner when you need wristband access or on-site spending.
Can tickets be transferred or resold?
Yes. Ticket Fairy keeps resale at face value, not a markup. Waiting-list members hear first when a ticket is listed, the new buyer gets the ticket and the old code stops working.
Promotions & Marketing
How do discount codes work? I'd like to give discounts to certain people or offer group discounts.
Create a promotion with a fixed or percentage discount, then add codes in bulk. Limit codes by use count, time, ticket type, email address or email domain, and give different ticket types different discounts within the same promotion.
Do you offer tools to help me sell more tickets?
Yes. Give every buyer a referral link and a reason to share, see which promoter and campaign links sell tickets, recover abandoned carts and send campaigns to your audience. Ticket Fairy shows which activity produced sales, while Stripe processes the payment.
Do you have a waiting list feature for sold-out events?
Yes. When an event or ticket type sells out, buyers can join the waiting list. Ticket Fairy notifies them when tickets return through resale, released holds or cancellations, so proven demand gets another chance to buy.
Data & Reporting
Can I collect custom data from my attendees?
Yes, in addition to the standard information (name, email, phone), our platform allows you to create custom data capture fields to gather specific information relevant to your event. You can collect details such as meal preferences, T-shirt sizes, workshop selections, accessibility requirements, emergency contacts, or any other information you need. These custom fields can be made required or optional, and can be associated with specific ticket types or add-ons. All customer data is accessible in your dashboard alongside the payment information from Stripe.
What sales reports are available?
Our platform provides comprehensive reporting on ticket sales, revenue, attendee demographics, conversion rates, and marketing performance. You can view data in real-time dashboards and export reports in various formats. This complements the financial reporting available in your Stripe dashboard.
Can I access real-time sales data?
Yes, you have access to real-time sales dashboards showing ticket purchases, revenue, conversion rates, and other key metrics. This allows you to make data-driven decisions about pricing, marketing, and inventory. This data is available alongside the financial information in your Stripe dashboard.
