It's your event. Keep all of it.

Marketplaces rent you an audience and take a cut of every sale. Events Manager runs on your own site, so the sale — and the customer — are entirely yours.

Direct payouts

Connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Authorize.net account. Payments land directly with you on your processor's normal schedule — not held by a third party.

No commission, ever

Events Manager takes 0% of your ticket sales. You pay your payment processor's standard rate — exactly what you'd pay anyway — and nothing on top.

Your data, your site

Every booking, attendee and transaction is stored in your own WordPress database — not on someone else's platform. Yours to export, report on and own.

Take payment the way you already do

Plug in the gateway you already trust — or take payment offline by invoice, bank transfer or at the door. Click any gateway to see exactly how it works.

Illustrative platform commission only; card-processing fees are separate and apply either way. Default rate reflects a typical marketplace (e.g. ~3.7% + $1.79). Adjust the fields to match the platform you're comparing.
