Before you ask

Common questions

Is Event Schedule really free?

Yes. Unlimited events, unlimited schedules, calendar sync, free registration with capacity limits, analytics and QR check-in at the door are all included on the free plan, with no time limit and no credit card required. Newsletters are metered rather than unlimited, at 10 emails a month with each recipient counting as one. A free schedule is also a team of one, with one free appointment type, and a price on a ticket or a booking is where Pro begins.

Do you take a cut of ticket sales?

No. Event Schedule charges zero platform fees on tickets, on every plan including free. You connect your own Stripe or PayPal account and payouts go straight to you, so the only deduction is what Stripe or PayPal charges to process the payment. Charging for a ticket is a Pro feature, but the fee is zero whatever you charge and whatever plan you are on.

Which payment methods can I accept?

Stripe and PayPal, each paying into your own account, plus Payfast for events priced in South African rand, Razorpay for events priced in Indian rupees (INR), an Invoice Ninja invoice, a payment link of your own, or cash. They come with Pro, because that is the plan that puts a price on a ticket, and you choose one per event. Installment plans, also on Pro, run on Stripe only.

Can I refund a ticket?

Yes, on Pro. From the Sales page, a Stripe, PayPal or Razorpay sale can be refunded in full or in part, and the status only changes once the money has gone back through the provider. A partial refund keeps the tickets valid; a full one puts them back on sale. An installment plan is refunded in full, one payment at a time. Any other method, such as cash, a payment link, Payfast or Invoice Ninja, shows Mark as Refunded instead, which records the refund without moving money.

Can visitors ask to be told when tickets go on sale?

Yes, on every plan. Switch on the "Notify me" card and, from Add to Calendar on the event page, a visitor leaves just an email address, with no account, and gets one email when tickets go on sale, one if it is cancelled, a reminder shortly before it starts, and any notice you choose to send if the date or venue changes. Each date of a recurring event is separate, every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and the list does not count against your newsletter allowance. You can see how many people are waiting on the Tickets panel of the event editor.

Can buyers choose their own seat?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan. Draw your room once on a venue schedule as a reusable seating plan - levels, sections, rows, tables, standing areas and wheelchair spaces - attach it to an event, and buyers pick their seats off the map. One plan covers every date of a run, and a single date can be changed on its own. Your box office gets the same map to hold seats back, take a booking over the phone, move somebody or release one seat.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Custom domains are available on the Enterprise plan. You add one CNAME record at your registrar, and the SSL certificate is issued automatically once it resolves.

Can I run it on my own server?

Yes. Event Schedule is open source under the Attribution Assurance License. Selfhosted installs include every Enterprise feature at no cost, and the app updates itself with one click from the admin panel.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can create a schedule and start publishing events without entering any payment details. You only add a card if you choose to upgrade to Pro or Enterprise.
