Payouts are processed weekly via Stripe. You receive ticket revenue minus our low $1 + 2.5% platform fee (or 100% if you pass fees to buyers!) directly to your bank account. There is no minimum payout threshold.
Yes! You can host in-person, virtual, or hybrid events. For virtual events, you can provide attendees with a meeting link (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) after they purchase tickets.
You can cancel events from your dashboard. Attendees will be automatically refunded, and you will be notified. We recommend giving at least 48 hours notice when possible.
Each event gets a unique shareable link. You can promote it on social media, your newsletter, your website, or anywhere else. We also feature events on BookGather for readers searching in your area or genre.
