Stripe Split Payment

Stripe Split Payment

The Stripe Split Payment helps users distribute the ticket revenue between the website owner or admin and event organizers.

Installing the Plugin                                                                            

The installation process is the same for all the addons offered by WP Event Manager. They can be installed automatically or manually.

  1. Automatic Installation: You can install the plugin from the backend of your WordPress. Click Here to see how you can install the plugin automatically.
  2. Manual Installation: You can also install the plugin manually using SFTP or FTP tools. Click Here to see how you can install the plugin manually.

Stripe works with country restrictions. This means that, for the split payment to work with Stripe, the Stripe account of the admin and organizer should belong to the same country.

After the event tickets are added to the cart, users on the checkout page need to select the Stripe Connect option to make payment for a purchase.

Stripe Money Transfer                                                                 

  • The admin and the organizers need to log in to their Stripe accounts using their respective login credentials.

  • Both can see the details of their payment (commission), which is displayed under the Payments option.

  • The organizer’s commission details will be present in the admin’s Stripe Account.

Please enable the View Test Data option to view the details of the payments received and paid, respectively, by Admins and Organizers.

For example, the transaction amount is $204, which is displayed under the Payments section.

  • The organizer, after logging into their Stripe Account, can view the payment (commission) under the Payments section, for instance, $204.

Here, they will get all the details of the price breakdown, including the fees, tax, and Net amount that they would be getting.

  • Similarly, the admin can check the fees collected by navigating to Payment → Collected Fees.

Here, for example, the admin gets $4 as the commission.

Stripe only works by adding credit card fields on the checkout and then sending the details to Stripe for verification.
