No. You only pay when participants register. If your event has zero registrations, you pay nothing.
The fixed fee ($0.99 standard / $0.50 nonprofit) is charged once per checkout session, not per registration. A family of 4 registering together in one cart pays one fixed fee — not four. The percentage applies to the cart total.
No. Our per-transaction rate is all-in and includes all payment processing. The only other optional costs are timing service fees for events over 100 participants.
Verified 501(c)(3) organizations pay 4% + $0.50 per transaction instead of the standard 5% + $0.99. You upload your IRS determination letter and we manually verify your status. Once verified, the lower rate applies automatically to all your events.
Free timing covers up to 100 participants. For larger events, you can either pay $19 per event or upgrade to the $19/month Pro subscription.
You can issue refunds to participants through your dashboard. Platform fees are prorated correctly for partial-cart refunds.
Yes — donations are charged a flat 4% fee which includes all payment processing. No additional fixed per-transaction fee is added to donations.
