Setting up your device

1. Check this before you start:

• Your tickets are on sale at the door or everywhere.
• To process credit card payments, your event must use Eventbrite Payment Processing. Your event's currency must be AUD, CAD, GBP, or USD.
• All events can use Eventbrite Organizer to record offline transactions (like cash, check, invoice, etc.). Eventbrite Organizer doesn't collect payment for these orders, so you must collect payment directly from the purchaser.
• You can't use Eventbrite Organizer to sell donation tickets.
• Eventbrite supports the following card readers:
  • M2 card reader (US only)
  • BBPOS WisePOS E

Eventbrite Organizer is compatible with iOS versions (15.0 or later) and Android (8.0 and up).

There are two types of payment methods.

• Card reader, Tap to pay, and manual credit card entry are online payment methods. Payments made this way will process in Eventbrite, and the funds will go to your event payout. Manual credit card entry is not available for AUD events.
• Cash, check, voucher, Paypal outside Eventbrite, and Other are offline payment methods. You will need to collect payments made this way directly from the purchaser. The funds will not go into your event payout.

NOTE: "PayPal outside Eventbrite" refers to payments directly to your PayPal account. Like other offline payment methods, no payment is processed through Eventbrite Organizer for orders made this way.

4. Select your payment method.

The available payment methods are based on what your event settings. If you select an offline payment method (like cash or check), make sure to collect the attendee payment directly from the purchaser.

5. Optional: Enter attendee information.

Depending on your app settings, you may be asked to collect name, email address, or other information. You can submit to skip this step unless your delivery method is set to eTicket or Will Call.

6. Tap "Place Order".

You can email a receipt to the buyer, print out the ticket, or check them into the event after the order completes.

If the transaction fails to complete, have the attendee check their payment information and try again. Some payment methods may have restrictions based on the transaction amount and method of payment.

NOTE: Printing tickets requires a Boca or Star printer.
