Questions
Who can host?
Any community, nonprofit, club or company running events: seminars, workshops, hackathons, tournaments, galas. You sign up yourself; no calls or paperwork by mail.
What does it cost?
brightsteppe charges no platform fee today. For paid tickets you only pay Stripe’s card processing fee on your own account. Free RSVPs are free.
How do we get paid?
Straight to your organization’s bank account: Bank of America, Chase or any U.S. bank. Payouts run through Stripe, the payment processor. You don’t need a Stripe account in advance: you create one from your dashboard in about 10 minutes with your EIN and bank details. Buyers pay into it directly and Stripe sends the money to your bank, usually within about two business days after the first payout. We never hold your money.
We only have a bank account. Is that enough?
Yes. Your bank account plus your EIN (or SSN for an individual organizer) is all you need. Free RSVPs need nothing at all.
Can my team help?
Invite organizers to manage events and guests, and scanners who can only check people in at the door.
What about refunds?
You set your refund policy and refund in your Stripe dashboard. Tickets update here automatically.
Hosting means accepting the Organizer Agreement.
