Using Stripe for Specific Event Types

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.

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?
Most Stripe accounts are approved instantly or within 24 hours after you provide all required information. For some business types or countries, the verification process might take a few additional days. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure a smooth and quick setup.
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?
In most cases, the service fee is paid by the ticket buyer, but you can optionally choose to absorb it instead. We keep the service fee per ticket reasonable for your ticket buyers, unlike most of the event ticketing industry. The ticket fee percentage depends on your ticket price and includes the cost of Stripe payment processing.
Do you charge for free events?
No, we do not. There is no cost for free events - it's a totally free event ticketing system when you're not charging for tickets. We only charge a service fee if you are selling paid tickets or NFT token-gated tickets.
Do you charge for issuing guest tickets?
There is no charge for issuing guest tickets. These are free tickets and are not subject to any ticket fee. You can issue as many guest tickets as needed for staff, VIPs, or any other complimentary attendees without incurring any costs.
Additional Payment Options
I need cashflow for my festival. Can I get regular payouts?
Yes, absolutely. Combining Stripe with our festival ticketing software is the best way to maximize your festival's ticket sales and cashflow. You'll receive daily payouts directly to your bank account, providing the cash flow needed to fund your event preparations.
What makes the payment gateway within your event ticketing software reliable?
We partner with trusted payment gateway providers like Stripe, ensuring your transactions are secure and smooth. Stripe processes billions in payments annually and is trusted by companies of all sizes worldwide. Their robust infrastructure means fewer declined transactions and higher conversion rates for your ticket sales.
Customization & Branding
What level of customization do you provide?
You can upload custom backgrounds and headers to customize your event page, collect custom information using data capture fields, and configure many different features from our event management dashboard. All this while maintaining Stripe's secure payment processing infrastructure.
Can I sell tickets on my own website or mobile apps?
Yes, we have a white label event ticketing system that allows the entire ticket buying experience to happen on your event website or in your mobile app, taking on your own look and feel. Your attendees will be able to buy tickets in the same place as all your other event content while still processing payments securely through your Stripe account.
Advanced Features
Do you support add-ons?
Yes, you can define add-ons that will be presented to your ticket buyers once they have chosen the ticket type they want to buy. These can include merchandise, VIP upgrades, accommodation options, or any other extras, all processed through your Stripe account with the same secure payment experience.
Do you support virtual events?
Yes, we have full support for online events with integrated ticketing through Stripe. Our platform can handle virtual, hybrid, or in-person events with the same payment processing experience. For virtual events, we offer features like secure access links, streaming integration, and attendee engagement tools.
Ticket Types & Management
What types of tickets can I sell?
You can create a wide variety of ticket types including general admission, VIP, early bird, group tickets, and tiered pricing options. You can also set up time-restricted tickets (like day passes), age-restricted tickets, and tickets with special access privileges. All ticket purchases are processed securely through your Stripe account.
Can I limit how many tickets one person can buy?
Yes, you can set purchase limits per customer for each ticket type. This is useful for preventing ticket scalping or ensuring fair distribution of limited tickets. You can also set overall inventory limits per ticket type to create scarcity and encourage early purchases.
Do you support reserved seating?
Yes, we do. You can sell tickets online with assigned seating using clickable seating charts, and even define standing/general admission areas. Our reserved seating system also supports the sale of season tickets. You can create your own custom seating charts directly inside our user-friendly event management dashboard, all with seamless Stripe payment processing.
Ticket Distribution & Check-in
How do attendees receive their tickets?
After purchase, attendees automatically receive digital tickets via email with unique QR codes. They can also access their tickets through their customer account on the platform. If needed, attendees can print their tickets or simply show the QR code on their smartphone at the event for scanning.
What options do you have for access control? Do you have an event check-in app?
You can use our ticket scanning mobile app, Entry Fairy, or use our API feed to allow any 3rd-party RFID system to scan our ticket QR codes. As your event approaches, you will get an automatic email from the system with a link to download the app and information on how ticket scanning works. All revenue from ticket sales processed through Stripe is immediately available in your account.
Can tickets be transferred or resold?
Yes, our platform includes a controlled ticket resale and transfer system. As the event organizer, you can choose whether to allow ticket transfers and configure resale rules, including price caps to prevent scalping. Our system includes anti-fraud protections like ID verification to ensure only legitimate transfers occur. All resale transactions are processed through your Stripe account, giving you full visibility into both original and resale transactions.
Promotions & Marketing
How do discount codes work? I'd like to give discounts to certain people or offer group discounts.
We do things a little differently than other ticketing platforms. You create an individual promotion, set its discount pricing structure, and then you can add as many discount codes as you want that will unlock that promotion. This allows you to add many (or even thousands) discount codes so you can track ticket sales from different affiliates and partners. You can even apply different discount types to different ticket types within the same promotion. All discount transactions are processed through your Stripe account with the appropriate adjustments.
Do you offer tools to help me sell more tickets?
Yes, our platform includes built-in marketing tools like social sharing incentives, referral programs, affiliate tracking, and email campaigns. These features help you leverage your audience to drive more ticket sales while maintaining the secure Stripe payment experience for all purchases.
Do you have a waiting list feature for sold-out events?
Yes, you can enable a waiting list feature for sold-out events or ticket types. When additional tickets become available or when others cancel, people on the waiting list can be automatically notified and given priority access to purchase. Our system can also be configured to automatically offer returned tickets to waiting list members in order of signup. All waiting list purchases are processed through your Stripe account like regular ticket sales.
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.
