This screen lets you set options like event fee, extra cards, and online processing fees. It allows you to configure how your event charges participants for hands, whether extra cards are available, and who pays Stripeโ€™s online processing fees.


๐Ÿ“ Where to Find It

You can access this screen when creating a new event or by editing an existing one:

Manage Events โ†’ Select Event โ†’ Edit Event Items


๐Ÿงพ Fee per Hand

This is the base price each participant pays per hand/registration.

โœ… This field is required
๐Ÿ’ฐ This is the amount charged for each hand sold to participate in your event.


๐Ÿ’ณ Collect Fees in App

ON by default to sell hands/registrations online using Stripe.

โ›” If you deselect this, you can sell hands in person and collect fees offline (๐ŸŽ‰ This is a limited-time promotional option).

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: The best events get the majority of participants registered before event day. This ensures smoother check-ins, better planning, and less stress. If you have questions about selling hands in person, please contact us.


๐Ÿท Customer Pays Stripe Processing Fee

Controls who pays Stripeโ€™s standard online processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction):

  • โœ… ON (default): Stripe fees are added to the participantโ€™s total as a service fee.

  • โ›” OFF: Your organization absorbs the Stripe fees, which are deducted from your payout.
