One platform for your events, guests – and now your payments
With zkipster Payments you can collect payments before your event and take them in person on event day in the same platform you use to manage your guests and events. Generate revenue from your events and connect every payment to the individual guest who made it, with no need for separate systems or complicated reconciliations.
Payments is powered by Stripe, the financial services provider with international reach and recognition. Connect a Stripe account to your zkipster account and you can start accepting payments straightaway. Payments is available with every zkipster plan, including monthly subscriptions, with a single flat fee for each transaction.*

Advance payments
You can now add payment buttons to emails and response forms when creating campaigns in the zkipster Communications suite.** Set a price per person or per party to allow guests to pay upfront for everything from event registration and tables to parking and packages, and let guests choose the amount they pay for charitable donations, pledges and underwriting.
Create different campaigns and payment options for different guest segments and timeframes: preferential rates and promotional codes for loyal repeat guests, early-bird pricing for your first registrations, special packages for VIPs, even a post-event recap and final appeal for donations from guests who confirmed but didn’t show.
In-person payments
The zkipster mobile app doesn’t just power event check-in and on-the-day guest and seating management: it now powers in-person payments too. All you need is a supported mobile device – no additional hardware required – to accept payments from Apple Pay, Google Pay, other digital wallets and physical payment cards.
Add walk-in guests to the list and charge them for entry in moments. Upsell during the event and let guests pay for food and beverage, merch and upgrades. Effortlessly collect donations, pledges and payments for auction lots and raffle prizes at fundraisers.
A clear view of every payment
Payments run inside your existing guest workflows, so every payment is connected to the guest who made it within each event. This not only makes it easy to monitor payment statuses and issue refunds, but also provides a clear picture of the revenue generated by your events. See when sales are falling behind, track fundraising targets and understand your event ROI, with the ability to generate reports showing which guests have made payments within an event.
