Accepting Credit Card Payments
To accept credit card payments for your event, you need a payment processor. A payment processor charges attendees’ credit cards and deposits the funds into your bank account.
TicketSpice includes a built-in processor called Webconnex Payments, so you don’t need to set one up separately. When you publish your ticketing page for the first time, we’ll guide you through a quick setup so you can start accepting credit cards in just a few minutes.
How TicketSpice Handles Payments
With TicketSpice, you are the direct seller of tickets. This means:
Funds go directly to your bank account
Your event name appears on attendees’ credit card statements
You don’t have to wait until after your event to receive payouts
This is different from platforms that act as a middleman, collect payments on your behalf, and hold funds until the event ends. To make this possible, TicketSpice requires a payment processor, which we provide to you.
What Is a Payment Processor?
A payment processor (sometimes called a merchant processor) works with credit card networks like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover to:
Charge an attendee’s credit card
Transfer the funds to your bank account
Webconnex Payments functions similarly to processors you may already know, such as Stripe, Square, or PayPal.
