Curators who are ready to charge for a class, workshop, tasting, tour, or community experience.
I want to add paid tickets to my event and manage them correctly.
A paid ticket defines the buyer promise
A paid ticket should answer a simple question: what does this attendee get for this price? Use the ticket name and event page together. The ticket name can be short, but the event description should explain what is included.
Before adding paid tickets, make sure the event page already has a credible host profile, clear schedule, venue or online location, capacity, refund expectations, and any materials or access notes.
Create a paid ticket
Confirm payment readiness
Open payment settings and confirm that paid ticketing and Stripe payouts are ready enough for your launch plan.
Open the event ticket settings
Create a new event or edit an existing draft, then open the ticket settings area for that event.
Name the ticket
Use a name that a buyer can understand quickly, such as General Admission, Workshop Seat, Early Bird, or Materials Included.
Set price and quantity
Choose the currency and price carefully. Set quantity based on real space, materials, service quality, or host capacity.
Choose sale timing and status
Use sale windows when you need deadlines. Keep tickets hidden or inactive until the page is ready to sell.
Preview before sharing
Check the public page as a buyer would. Confirm that price, included value, and registration expectations match.

Ticket status is intentional.
Refund, cancellation, or transfer expectations are written clearly.
The event page explains what is included in the purchase.

FAQ
Can I create a paid ticket before connecting Stripe?
You may be able to draft paid ticket details, but do not rely on checkout or payouts until payment settings and Stripe readiness are clear.
Can I offer multiple ticket types?
Use multiple tickets only when the buyer choices are genuinely different, such as early bird, general admission, or VIP. Too many options can reduce conversion.
What should I do when a paid ticket is no longer available?
Close sales, hide the ticket, or mark it inactive according to the product options available. Keep the public page accurate.
