Understanding Hidden Costs and Processing Fees
Many organizers are surprised by the final amount deducted from their sales. This is often due to two factors:
Payment Processing Fees
This is a separate charge (usually around 1.5% to 3%) applied by the payment provider (like PayPal or the platform itself) on top of the service fee. This often results in a total deduction far higher than the initial percentage advertised.
Hidden Tiers
Complex platforms sometimes charge extra for key features (like detailed reporting or reserved seating) that come standard with low-cost alternatives.
It's time for smarter, simpler event management.
