Fee questions, answered plainly
The participant pays it at checkout, on top of the ticket price. It is shown as its own line before anyone enters a PIN, and the organizer receives the full ticket price with nothing deducted.
Nothing. There is no signup fee, no monthly subscription, no listing fee and no charge for creating an event. Laces earns only when a participant successfully pays.
Our standard rate in Rwanda is RWF 200 + 5.1% of the order on mobile money (MTN MoMo and Airtel Money). The exact total is always shown before the participant confirms. On a RWF 20,000 ticket that is RWF 1,220, so the participant pays RWF 21,220. The organizer receives RWF 20,000.
Nothing at all. A free event pays no flat fee and no percentage, because there is nothing to take a cut of.
No. Payment processing is absorbed by Laces out of the service fee, so it is never billed to the organizer or itemised to the participant. One fee line, disclosed before the money moves.
Your first withdrawal is free. Each withdrawal after your first carries a fixed transfer fee per country, shown before you confirm. From your Instant Wallet: Mobile money RWF 200.
