The fee on donations is 2.9% + $0.30 (USD), which is the Stripe portion of the transaction fee.

Settings described below relate to the Donations page on your Eventive Native site - yourevent.eventive.org/donate - as well as donations at checkout for pass sales and physical event ticketing.

To modify donation settings for virtual screenings, configure the settings in the Virtual tab in the Configurator. Virtual screenings have donations at checkout enabled by default.

Use the Donations tab in the Configurator to enable the option to add a donation at checkout for physical events and/or the purchase of virtual and physical passes.

A standard set of donation price tiers - as well as an "Other" option - appears by default, but you can customize the specific tiers in the Donations tab.

Remember, customizing donation amounts in the Donation tab will only apply to checkout for physical events and pass sales. To modify donation settings for virtual screening checkouts, you must configure the settings in the Configurator Virtual tab. Virtual screenings have donations at checkout enabled by default.

Use the Donations tab to customize the look and feel of your Donations page. The Donations page exists for both physical and virtual events as long as Accept donations on site is selected on your Event Bucket settings page.

What fees are incurred on donations?

Eventive ticketing fees are waived on donations, but the credit card processing fee is still charged at 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. In other words, donations do not incur the entire 5% + $0.99 transaction fee -- rather, the fee on donations and items in USD is 2.9% + $0.30, which is the Stripe portion of the transaction fee.

Can I remove the $0 donation option?

At this time we cannot remove the $0 donation option as it is the only way for customers to opt-out of the donation.

Why don't I see the donation request when I test my screening?

The donation request is the last step in the checkout process.

Step 1 is to ask the ticket purchaser for an email address to create a new account or to log in. If the ticket purchaser already has an account and is logged in, then checkout will begin with Step 2.

Step 2 is to enter credit card information.

Step 3 the donation request is found in the checkout modal where the amount owing is confirmed and the order is completed.
