Updated over a week ago

There are a few different payment gateways that can affect how your ticket buyers will pay for their purchase and/or how you will receive your ticket sales. By default, all AUD, USD and NZD events will be managed by the Humanitix payment gateway.


How to change or add your payment gateway:

  1. Manage your event via the events tab

  2. Click payments and fees > gateways

  3. Follow the prompts to set up or connect the appropriate gateway


Humanitix payment gateway - [Default processor]

The default payment gateway for all events running in AUD, NZD and USD.

The Humanitix payment gateway is activated automatically. You do not need to do anything.

  • Take payments from all major credit cards, Paypal, Apple Pay and Google Pay instantly.

  • Event payouts are automatically made within 5 business days after the event’s completion date to your nominated bank account. There are no transfer fees.

  • Payment processing fees are covered by the Humanitix booking fee and by default passed onto the ticket buyer

  • Process refunds easily through the Humanitix platform at any time, as long as the event has not been paid out.

  • AMEX and Paypal are subject to surcharges that are always worn by the buyer

Events running in GBP, EUR, CAD, MXN and FJD will need to connect a Stripe account

Payment methods via Humanitix payments

*PayPal Pay in 4 is not available on Humanitix


Stripe - [Alternative processor]

Stripe is a globally leading payment gateway that replaces the Humanitix payment gateway. All ticket sales go directly into your Stripe account and are not managed by Humanitix.

Stripe is recommended for events needing flexible access to ticket sales before the event date or who already use Stripe in other e-commerce.

  • Receive ticket sales as they roll in directly into your bank account or choose from a range of payout schedules that suit your needs.

  • Native integration with Humanitix means it's easy to connect your Stripe account

  • New accounts take less than 5 minutes (available even for individuals)

  • Process refunds through Humanitix to help manage your sales reporting.

  • Stripe charges additional fees for its services. These fees are deducted from your revenues before Stripe settles the payout into your account. Note: Stripe’s fees are non-refundable
