How to split the Humanitix booking fee with buyers
Updated over a week ago

Using the split fee option, you can share the cost Humanitix booking fee from paid tickets and donations with your ticket buyers. Splitting the fee makes it more accessible for your buyers while ensuring you still take home most of the ticket sale.

Splitting the booking fee involves passing on or absorbing the individual components of your booking fee.

Passed on = The buyer pays this
Absorbed = You pay this

There are two components to a Humanitix booking fee which are charged per ticket

  1. Percentage fee e.g. 4%

  2. Fixed fee e.g. $0.99

By default, the entire Humanitix booking fee is passed on to the buyer.

There are fees that cannot be shared with buyers, such as Stripe payment processing fees, AMEX and PayPal surchagres, Afterpay and Zippay fees.


How to split the booking fees on a single event

  1. Manage your event via the events tab

  2. Head to payments and fees > settings

  3. Select the booking fees tab

  4. Click the split fees option
