Honest answers
Is Payly really free for event tickets?
Yes. There is no ticket fee, no monthly fee and no paid tier. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees on paid tickets, as they would on any platform. How can this possibly be free?
How do guests get their tickets?
By email, with their receipt, once they have paid. Each ticket has its own code and QR code. Free tickets show their codes on the page right away, and are emailed when the guest gives an email address.
How does check-in work?
Open Check in for your event. Scan a ticket's QR code with your device's camera or a USB scanner, or type its code. A ticket that was already checked in shows the time it was used, a refunded ticket is turned away, and Undo takes back a check-in made by mistake.
Who on my team can check guests in?
The owner, admins and editors. Viewers can see the guest list and how many have checked in.
Can guests pay in installments?
Yes. Charge the total in monthly payments, as the Conference and Charity gala templates do. Guests get their tickets with the first payment.
What happens when tickets sell out?
The ticket shows Sold out and can no longer be picked. While someone is paying, their tickets are held for 30 minutes.
How many events can I have?
Each event runs in your own Cloudflare account, like a store. Cloudflare's free plan holds up to 100 events and forms in one account, fewer if it also holds stores. Its $5 a month plan holds up to 500, paid to Cloudflare. Payly stays free either way. What the free plan covers
What is not included?
Assigned seats, promo codes, waitlists and reminder emails are not supported, and check-in needs an internet connection. Put your event's date and place in its description: they are not printed on the tickets.
