Free & paid registration

An event can be completely free or paid — and paid events can be as simple or as layered as you need.

Free events

Leave the ticket price at zero and registration is free. No payment step, no commission — attendees just complete the form, click the attend (buy at no price button) and they're in.

A base ticket price

Give the event a base price and a currency, and every registration includes that amount. This is the simplest way to charge a single ticket price.

Tiers and add-ons

For more than one price point, use priced options on dropdown, checkbox, or radio fields. Each option can carry its own price — perfect for ticket tiers (Standard / VIP), workshops, merchandise, or meal choices. Options can also have a capacity, so a limited tier sells out on its own. See Capacity, availability & waitlists.

How attendees pay

Choose a payment method for the event:

  • Stripe — attendees pay online by card during sign-up. See Collecting payments with Stripe.
  • Manual — show your own payment instructions (such as bank transfer) instead of charging online. You can write these per language.

Fees

Paid registrations carry a small per-ticket commission. See Ticket fees & commission.
