How event payments work on Crowd
When do I get paid?
On Stripe’s schedule for your account, because the money settles to your Stripe account directly. Crowd is not in the payout path and does not hold funds until after the event.
What does it cost?
Crowd starts at US$29 per seat a month on Starter, pay as you go. Growth is US$399 per seat a month with no ticket, booth or sponsorship fees. Payments, finance automation and payables are part of that, so you pay for the technology, not each sale. Stripe’s card processing costs apply as on any platform.
Can exhibitors pay a deposit and a balance?
Yes. Set the deposit and the balance date on the booth type. The exhibitor pays the deposit at booking, gets reminded before the balance is due, and the overdue list is live in your dashboard.
Do you hold my money?
No. Sales settle into your own Stripe account. Refunds come out of it, payouts to suppliers come out of it, and the ledger in Crowd reflects it. There is no platform wallet.
Which cards and wallets do you take?
Visa, Mastercard and American Express, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and bank transfer for booth and sponsorship invoices. Stripe handles the card side, so anything Stripe supports in your country works.
What does a refund cost?
Crowd charges nothing to refund. Stripe’s processing fee on the original payment is not returned by Stripe, which is the same on every platform that runs on cards. The ledger and the door list update with the refund.
