FAQ

What is calculated under Other?

"Other" refers to revenue that is no longer connected to any specific items ordered. This may include credit card processing fees retained by Stripe on refunded orders or revenue that is collected on a deleted ticket. In your all-orders report or dashboard, any transactions shown as "all items deleted" will be included as "other" here.

What is calculated under Difference?

The "Difference" column may reflect various, miscellaneous financial data not otherwise noted. Examples include refunds that were processed after the original invoice containing that order was issued or Stripe deposits for your organization that are not related to your Eventive platform. The latter is typical when organizations use Stripe for other purposes other than Eventive.

How can I connect a refund expense to a particular screening?

Check the ALL ORDERS report and filter for "refunded at" to see with which screening the refund was originally associated.

Why am I seeing financial discrepancies between tickets purchased for the same virtual screening?

If there's no content attached to the screening at the time of sale, the unlock fee is not charged. Instead, it will be picked up later in the monthly invoicing. This is what's called a deferred fee. Tickets purchased before the content has been ingested will not incur a deferred fee at time of purchase. Tickets purchased after the content has been ingested will incur the appropriate estimated deferred fee.

Where can I find individual donor information?โ€‹

To view/download individual donation receipts, select your Event Bucket, then Item Buckets. Select Donations, then click View. Here you can view the individual donation receipts (within Actions, on the right) as well as download all individual transactions.

How do I create an official monthly statement for each venue that showed a particular film?

This is a format we are eager to provide in the future! For now, use Sales Analytics, select Event View, filter by the appropriate dates, and click Download CSV. From here, you can use all the information provided to create your own monthly statements specific to your venues.
