## Fees

### **Ticket fee**

This fee will be added to the ticket sale price which are bought online, by online we mean that are not purchased via a point of sale account.

Lets take an example:

1. Lets say you set the ticket fee to **1.5$**
2. An event is on sale for **10$** a ticket
3. An attendee adds **two tickets** to his cart for this event&#x20;
4. The checkout form will indicate that the attendee has to pay **23$** **(10$ \* 2 + 1.5$ \* 2)**
5. Now when the organizer request a payout after this sale, the information will indicate that he will be requesting a payout with amount of **20$**, the other **3$** that the **attendee paid** are **your revenue as the owner of the platform**

{% hint style="info" %}
You can disable the additional fees **paid by attendees** by setting 0 in this parameter
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Internally, this fee is saved when an organizer creates a new event date ticket

Please note that if you edit this fee, it will be applied to event tickets created after saving the parameter and will not affect event ticket already created
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
This fee does not apply for free tickets
{% endhint %}

### **Ticket price percentage cut**

This percentage will be deducted from each ticket sold online, upon organizer payout request, this percentage will be taken from each ticket sold online.

Lets take an example:

1. Lets say you set the ticket price percentage cut to **10%**
2. An event is on sale for **10$** a ticket
3. An attendee adds **three tickets** to his cart for this event&#x20;
4. The checkout form will indicate that the attendee has to pay **30$** **(10$ \* 3)**
5. Now when the organizer request a payout after this sale, the information will indicate that he will be requesting a payout with amount of **27$**, the other **3$** are **your revenue as the owner of the platform and are calculated this way: (10% out of 10$) = 1$ \* 3**

{% hint style="info" %}
You can disable the percentage cut that is **paid by organizers** by setting 0 in this parameter
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
