Money Settings
The Money tab covers everything financial: how monetary amounts are displayed (currency formatting), payment gateways for paid tickets and donations (Pro), and order record configuration.
Go to Eventonomy → Settings → Money to access these options.
What You Will Learn
- How to configure currency and number formatting
- Where to set up payment gateways, Stripe Connect, tax, booking fees and coupons (Pro)
- How the platform fee and vendor earnings switch works (Pro)
- How to configure donation pledges
- How to set the order number prefix and confirmation message
Currency
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Currency | USD | The ISO 4217 currency code. Shown on ticket prices, order summaries, and donation prompts. |
| Currency symbol override | (blank, uses default) | Override the default symbol for the selected currency (e.g. replace "US$" with "$"). |
| Symbol position | Before | Where the symbol appears relative to the amount: Before ($1,234), After (1,234$), Before with space ($ 1,234), After with space (1,234 $). |
| Thousands separator | , |
Character placed between thousands groups. |
| Decimal separator | . |
Character placed before the decimal digits. |
| Number of decimals | Automatic | Decimal places shown on prices. Automatic follows the selected currency's own precision, so yen shows none and Kuwaiti dinar shows three. You can override it with 0, 1, 2 or 3. |
A live example of the current formatting appears below the fields (e.g. $1,234.56).
The currency list is the complete ISO 4217 set, so your currency is in it. Only use the symbol override when you want a different symbol from the one Eventonomy picks for that currency.
Leave Number of decimals on Automatic unless you have a reason not to. Forcing 2 decimals on a zero-decimal currency such as JPY, or on a three-decimal currency such as KWD, displays an amount that does not match what the buyer is actually charged.
Payments (Pro)
Pro - Payment gateway configuration, taxes, booking fees, and coupons require Eventonomy Pro.
When Pro is active, a Payments (Pro) card appears on this tab.
Offer at checkout decides what buyers are actually shown. Tick each method you want to offer; a method you have not configured yet cannot be ticked, and the row says what is missing. Configuring a method and offering it are separate steps on purpose, so keys pasted while testing never start taking real money on their own.
Then pick the Active gateway (the default pre-selection); only the fields for that method are shown below.
This site's own checkout (WooCommerce), when ticked, becomes the only method buyers see. It already offers whatever payment methods you set up in WooCommerce, so offering Stripe or PayPal beside it would ask the buyer to choose between a method and the checkout containing it. Buyers never see the word "WooCommerce" - to them it is simply paying on your site.
Upgrading? Any method that was already working on your site stays switched on.
| Gateway | Fields |
|---|---|
| Stripe | Secret key, Webhook signing secret, and a read-only Webhook URL to paste into your Stripe dashboard. There is no separate publishable-key field. |
| PayPal | Client ID, Secret, Webhook ID, a Use the PayPal sandbox (test) environment checkbox, and a read-only Webhook URL. |
| This site's own checkout (WooCommerce) | No fields. Orders are handed to WooCommerce and paid with the gateways you set up there. |
Saved keys are masked. Submitting a masked field blank keeps the stored value; paste a new value to replace it.
Stripe Connect (optional)
Inside the Stripe panel there is a Stripe Connect section for paying organizers into their own Stripe accounts:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Let organizers connect their own Stripe account to receive payouts | Off | Turns Connect on. Leave it off to settle payouts yourself. |
| Connect client ID | (blank) | Your ca_… client ID from Stripe Connect settings. |
| Connect webhook signing secret | (blank) | Signing secret for the Connect webhook. |
| OAuth redirect URI / Connect webhook URL | (read-only) | Copy both into Stripe. |
If you switch Connect on without filling in the client ID and the Stripe secret key, the card shows a "Connect is enabled but not finished" notice and members never see the connect button. See Stripe Connect Payouts.
Vendor earnings & platform fee (Pro)
A separate Vendor earnings & platform fee (Pro) card appears further down this tab. It is what lets you take a cut of each paid order and track what each organizer is owed.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable vendor earnings & platform fee | Off | The master switch. While it is off nothing is booked to the earnings ledger and no fee is taken. |
| Platform fee type | Percentage of each order | Choose Percentage of each order or Flat amount per order. |
| Fee (%) | 0 |
Shown when the type is percentage. Accepts 0 to 100. |
| Flat fee | 0 |
Shown when the type is a flat amount, in your store currency. |
The fee is calculated on the full order total (including any donation, booking fee and tax recorded on the order), and a flat fee is capped at the order total so an order can never go negative. Once earnings are enabled, the organizer's Your net earnings and Platform fee appear on their sales panel. See Earnings & Payouts.
Tax & Fees (Pro)
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Add a booking / service fee | Off | Turns the booking fee on. |
| Fee label | Service fee |
The wording shown to the buyer on the order summary. |
| Fee type | Percentage of subtotal | Percentage of subtotal, or a fixed amount. |
| Fee amount | 0 |
Percent or fixed amount, per the type above. |
| Who pays the fee? | Buyer pays | Buyer pays adds it to the total; Organizer absorbs records it without charging the buyer extra. |
| Apply tax to orders | Off | Turns tax on. |
| Tax label | Tax |
The wording shown on the order summary. |
| Tax rate (%) | 0 |
Accepts up to three decimal places. |
| Ticket prices already include tax (inclusive) | Off | When on, the displayed ticket price is treated as tax-inclusive rather than having tax added on top. |
A live preview below the fields shows what a 100.00 order would come to with your current settings.
Coupons (Pro)
A Coupons (Pro) card lets you add discount codes. Each coupon row has:
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Code | (blank) | The code buyers type. Stored uppercase. |
| Discount type | Percentage of subtotal | Percentage of subtotal, or a fixed amount. |
| Amount | 0 |
Percent or fixed, per the type. A percentage is capped at 100. |
| Minimum subtotal | 0 |
The order must reach this subtotal for the code to apply. 0 means no minimum. |
| Usage limit | 0 |
Total redemptions allowed. 0 means unlimited. The row shows how many times it has been used. |
| Expires | (blank) | Optional last valid date. |
| Active | Off | A coupon only works while this is ticked. |
Donations
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Show a suggested donation on RSVP (pledge only - no charge) | On | Adds a donation pledge prompt to the RSVP form. Attendees see suggested amounts but no charge is collected in the Free plan. Untick it to hide the prompt entirely. |
| Suggested donation amounts | 5, 10, 25 |
Comma-separated amounts shown as quick-pick options. Shown in the selected currency. |
Pro - To actually charge donations, activate Pro and configure a payment gateway.
Billing details to collect
Controls how much a buyer is asked for at checkout.
| Setting | Asks for | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Ticket only (default) | Name and email | Most events. A ticket is admission, not a parcel - a meetup, workshop or gig has no use for a street address, and every extra field costs you buyers. |
| Full invoice details | Adds company, tax number (GST/VAT) and full address | You issue proper tax invoices - B2B sales, or GST/VAT jurisdictions that require an address on the invoice. |
Whatever the chosen mode marks as required is enforced when the order is placed, not just in the browser.
The tax number field is always optional, so a buyer without one is never blocked.
Earlier versions asked every buyer for all eleven billing fields. If your invoices need an address, switch to Full invoice details; otherwise the default is now the shorter form.
Orders
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Order number prefix | (blank) | A prefix added to every order number (e.g. ORD-). Letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Leave blank for numeric-only order numbers. |
| Order confirmation message | "Thanks for registering! We look forward to seeing you there." | The message shown to attendees after a successful order, and used as the opening line of the confirmation email. Replace it with your own wording; clearing it restores this default. |
| Refund and cancellation policy | (blank) | Your refund policy text. Displayed on the RSVP confirmation and on order summaries. Leave blank to hide. |
