Guest list and checkout fees
Two organizer jobs used to live in the wrong place. Comps went through a fake 0€ checkout. Fees were one setting for every night.
Both are live today.
Guest list, without the fake checkout
A guest is not a customer. There is no Stripe or PayPal charge, no refund, no buyer account. Each person is a real admission: they take stock, they can hold a numbered seat or a standing place, and the door team finds them by name.
Open an event, then Guest list, then Add guest.
You get:
- A named party of 1–20 people on a standard ticket
- Optional ticket email, or send the tickets to yourself
- An internal staff hint, visible only to organizers and scanners
- Door search by guest name, companion name, or delivery email
- Walk-ins at the scanner for GA or standing
- Numbered seats picked on the map
If someone will not arrive, release the admission and the inventory comes back. People who already checked in stay. Hidden 0€ promo codes are the wrong object for this.
The same operations are in the AI assistant, MCP, and the Guest list API. Full guide: Guest list.
Checkout fees you actually control
The Usetix fee is still €1 net per sold ticket. What changed is who pays it, and whether you add anything on top.
For the whole account, and again per event if that night is different:
- Absorb the Usetix fee yourself, or pass it to the buyer
- Add your own extra fee: a fixed amount, a percentage of the discounted ticket subtotal, or both
A club night can keep the advertised price clean. A festival can pass the platform fee through. A benefit show can add a small extra. Existing orders keep the totals they already paid.
Set the account defaults under Settings → Payments. Override them on an individual event when you need an exception.
The AI assistant, MCP, and the Checkout fees API share the same policy.
Both are live
Guest list is on every event. Checkout fees are on every account.
