Charge an Event Planner for a Private Event
Here's how to set up a Private Event and charge only the Event planner:
Create a Private Event
Set the capacity to any anticipated number of Attendees
Configure the Event to your desired state (picture, description, tags, etc.)
Leave the admission rate at $0
Add the Event Planner
This is the Customer paying/organizing the Event.
If the Event Planner already has a Profile
Add the Event Planner to the Private Event
If the Event Planner does not have a Profile yet
Send out an invitation link (bottom left three dots of side panel) to the Event Planner
Create a charge
Do this once the Event Planner is inside the Private Event.
Click on the Purchase tab of the Event
Click the "+ Charge" button at the top
Select the Event Planner's name (you might need to refresh your web page)
Click "+ Add Item"
Select item Private Event and include the necessary price and description
Click the "Add" button
Click the blue "Create Charge" button
If the Customer has a credit card on file, it will charge them immediately
If the Customer does not have a credit card on file
Click the "Send Payment Link" in the bottom left of the pop-up window
This creates a draft charge for the customer and will prompt them to enter their credit card to complete the purchase
Notice the Draft charge in the Purchase tab of the Event
Only when the Event Planner completes the payment will the status flag change from Draft to Complete
Generate a signup link
To create this link:
Click on the three vertical dots in the bottom left of the Event side panel
Share this link with the Event Planner after their payment is complete
Ask or tell them that everyone coming to Private Event needs to sign up ahead of time
Adding Multiple Items to Charge
Once you create a charge, you can add multiple products or services to the charge.
Click on the Purchase tab of the Event
Click the "+ Charge" button at the top
Select the Event Planner's name (you might need to refresh your web page)
Click "+ Add Item"
Select item Private Event and include the necessary price and description
Click the "Add" button
Then click “+ Add Item” again
Add as many items as you’d like, then:
Click on the blue “Create Charge” button
This will charge the Customer for multiple items in one charge.
