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.
Buyers outside the countries Laces sells in pay by card at USD 0.40 + 5.8% of the order, charged in USD. The exact total is always shown before the participant confirms. On a USD 50.00 ticket that is USD 3.30, so the participant pays USD 53.30. The organizer receives USD 50.00.
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.
