How fees work
1
You set the ticket price
Publish for free and price your tickets however you want. Free RSVP tickets carry no fee.
2
Attendees pay 10% + 79¢ on top
The fee is added to the buyer's total by default — payment processing is included in it, so there's no separate Stripe line. Verified hosts' events carry 7% + 79¢.
3
You're paid after the event
Ticket money is held, then sent to your bank account about 24 hours after the event (up to 72 hours for your first). Standard payouts are free.

Standard payouts — free
Held until ~24h after the event (up to 72h for your first payout), then sent to your bank account. No OnVybe cashout fee.
Instant cashout — 5%
Where supported and available, pull your held balance before the scheduled release for a 5% fee (some account tiers carry a lower fee). Standard payouts after the event stay free.
Early payout — for eligible hosts
Early payouts may be available to eligible, established hosts. It isn't automatic; the option appears on your dashboard when enabled for your account.
Fee questions, answered
Is it free to create an event?
Yes. Publishing an event on OnVybe is free — no listing fee, no monthly subscription, no setup cost. The only fee is a per-ticket service fee on paid tickets sold.
Are free events really free?
Yes. A $0 / Free RSVP ticket carries no OnVybe platform fee at all. (Optional paid services a host might add on are separate and not free — only free tickets are.)
Who pays the ticket fee?
The attendee, by default, on top of your ticket price. Per event, you can split it 50/50 with the attendee or absorb it (round-number prices for buyers).
What does it cost to sell a ticket?
10% + 79¢ per paid ticket, with payment processing included — there's no separate Stripe line. Verified hosts sell for 7% + 79¢.
How do I get to 7%?
Get certified. Certification is a trust review we run — it isn't bought and it isn't a plan you upgrade to. Once your account is certified, your rate is 7% + 79¢ per paid ticket.
Do rates change after I join?
Your rate is set on your account, not per event. If your account's rate ever changes — for example, when you get certified — it applies from that point forward; tickets already sold aren't retouched.
Can the organizer absorb the fee?
Yes. Per event you can switch to organizer-absorbed pricing, so attendees see round-number prices and the fee comes from your payout instead.
When are payouts sent?
Ticket money is held until about 24 hours after the event (up to 72 hours for your very first payout), then sent to your bank account. Standard scheduled payouts have no OnVybe cashout fee.
What is instant cashout?
Where supported and available, an eligible host can pull their held balance before the scheduled release for an instant-cashout fee (5% on the standard rate; some account tiers carry a lower fee). Standard payouts after the event remain free.
Who qualifies for early payout?
Early payouts may be available to eligible, established hosts. It isn't an automatic entitlement — you'll see the option on your dashboard if it's enabled for your account.
What happens when a ticket is refunded?
Refunds follow the refund policy the host sets for the event (shown at checkout). When a paid ticket is refunded, its inventory is released and the associated payout is reversed.
Are chargebacks handled?
Yes. If a buyer disputes a charge, you'll get a heads-up and OnVybe's team handles the response. That sale's payout is held back while it's reviewed, and returned to you automatically if it's resolved in your favor.
Can large venues get custom pricing?
Yes. Major venues, festivals, institutions, and high-volume organizers can get Partner pricing — contact us to talk terms.
