How payments work

How it works

EventsManager uses Stripe Connect Express to handle payments between your guests and you. The flow is simple:

1. The guest pays for their ticket online via your event page (bank card, Apple Pay, Google Pay).
2. Stripe transfers the funds directly to your Stripe Connect account. EventsManager never touches your money — you're its sole owner.
3. Stripe automatically pays out the available balance to your bank account on the standard Stripe schedule (typically 2 to 7 working days after the sale).

EventsManager takes a commission on each transaction, Stripe's fees included: EventsManager pays Stripe's fees out of this commission.

Commissions by plan

The EventsManager commission is calculated as the higher of a fixed amount and a percentage of the ticket. This rule ensures that small tickets stay viable for the platform.

Example: with the Pro plan, a 12 € ticket generates a commission of max(0,30 € ; 3 % × 12 €) = max(0,30 € ; 0,36 €) = 0,36 €. A 5 € ticket gives max(0,30 € ; 0,15 €) = 0,30 €.

Activate Stripe Connect Express

To collect payments, you need to create a Stripe account via EventsManager. This account belongs to you — EventsManager can't read or modify it.

The process takes about 5 minutes:

1. In your platform area, click "Activate payments".
2. Stripe guides you through creating or connecting your account: email address, bank details (IBAN), and identity verification (ID card or passport required by European banking regulations).
3. Once the verification is approved by Stripe (usually instant, sometimes a few hours), payments are automatically activated on your EventsManager events.

Transfers to your bank account

Stripe automatically transfers your available balance to the bank account registered in your Stripe Connect account.

Frequency

Daily (as soon as the balance exceeds the Stripe minimum)

Delay

2 to 7 working days after the transaction (Stripe Europe standard)

Currency

EUR only (bank account in the SEPA area required)

Transfer fees

No additional EventsManager fees — Stripe may apply fees depending on your country

You can track your payments, refunds and transfers from the Stripe dashboard, accessible via your EventsManager area or directly at dashboard.stripe.com.

Refunds

Refunds are managed from your Stripe Connect dashboard. EventsManager doesn't process refunds on your behalf — you're responsible for your cancellation policy towards your guests.

If an event is cancelled, we recommend refunding the full ticket via Stripe before deleting the event.
