Getting Paid for Your Event

EventBookings offers multiple payout methods for event organizers to receive their event revenue. Here’s what you need to know about each option:

1. EventBookings Payment Processing:

    • How it Works: This method is PCI DSS compliant and compatible with all major cards. It’s the default option for Australian organizers.

    • Ticketing Fee: A ticketing fee of 30 cents plus 2.50% per ticket sold.

Organisation Verification:

Verifying your organization with EventBookings helps build trust with your attendees and us. Verified organizers receive their payments on schedule. This is a one-time process. Contact us at contact@eventbookings.com to learn more about verification.

How to Verify:

  2. Under “Payment Collection,” click “Start Verification”, and follow the instructions to verify your email address and provide basic information about your organization.
