What do the line items on my invoice mean?

There are a variety of line items you may see on your Eventive invoice. Below is an explanation of each line item type.

Important notes

  • Invoices are always shown and processed in USD

  • Organizations set up with currencies other than USD will see the applicable currency rate listed on their invoice line items, but the amounts, charges, credits will be in USD

  • Please pay your invoice by its due date to avoid becoming a delinquent account

Billing Hub

To review your current and past invoices, go to your Billing Hub (click Financials from your admin Dashboard), and select the monthly invoice you wish to view.

Any active subscriptions associated with your organization are indicated on the left side of the Billing Hub and are invoiced separately.

A temporary credit for deferred fees from not-yet-unlocked passholder or free tickets whose unlock windows have not closed by the end of the invoice's activity month. Tickets from this line item will appear on future invoices as deferred fees if the tickets were used, or as unlock fee rebates if the tickets were not used before the unlock window closed.

PREMIUM LIVESTREAM

The cost incurred by running a Premium Livestream event ($10/hr).

EQUIPMENT RENTAL / PURCHASE

Any rented and/or purchased equipment charges will be included on your organization's monthly invoices.

REVERSE DISPUTED CHARGE

An audience member may submit a credit card dispute if they suspect a fraudulent or duplicate charge on their card for a purchase made on Eventive. All disputes are fed into Eventive’s Stripe dashboard because we have access to very precise streaming data and templates for evidence.

Depending on the situation, Eventive will inform you of the dispute should you choose to contact the audience member to resolve the issue. Eventive will submit standard All Sales Are Final evidence to Stripe and the dispute is then handled by the audience member’s credit card company. If the credit card company rules in the customer’s favor (credit card companies do not disclose why they rule in a particular way), you will be charged for the cost of that dispute and see a "Reverse disputed charge" line item on your invoice with the customer’s email address in parenthesis.

NOTE: Vague or unrecognized statement descriptors are a common reason why people dispute credit card charges. By default, your organization name is shown as the statement descriptor on customer credit card statements, but you can change it per event bucket in the Misc tab of the Configurator.
