Every event can be either free or paid. Toggle this in Edit Event. Free events skip the payment step entirely: confirmed guests receive their QR code immediately. Ideal for comp lists, festivals with external ticketing, corporate events, weddings, or any scenario where you just need to track attendance without collecting money. Paid events use your connected Stripe account; platform fee is €0.25 + 5% per ticket.
