FAQ’s
Are there other options for merchandise delivery?
Version 1 of the feature release gives the option for merchandise pick up with QR code verification at the door of the event. Future releases will include additional delivery options.
How are products added to the catalog?
Merchandise is added by the event organizer in the Evvnt Ticketing admin. This is a self-service feature however Evvnt offers multiple training resources via the support site (coming soon).
Who is responsible for managing the inventory?
Inventory levels can be added when entering products into the platform. Once the inventory level is reached, the merchandise will no longer display in the checkout process.
Can merchandise be sold without a ticket purchase?
Not at this time. A buyer must purchase tickets to be able to buy merchandise.
Is there a limit to how much merchandise can be listed for sale?
There is no limit to the number of products offered within the platform. However we recommend a maximum of 10 to provide a good user experience.
As an Evvnt partner, what is the revenue share and how do I get paid?
Merchandise sold via the Evvnt platform follows the same fee split and payment distribution as ticketing. Payouts are sent with the ticket fees.
Can merchandise be sold at the event?
Merchandise is only available to be purchased at the time the ticket is purchased online. The only way merchandise can be sold at the event is through a buyer purchasing their tickets and merchandise on their phone at the door.
Do customers see fees when purchasing merchandise?
No, customers will see and pay the amount set by the event organizer. Fees will be deducted from that amount after the sale
What is the fee structure for product sales?
The fee for merchandise is (2% of the product price plus $.30 per product) plus a 2.5% merchant processing fee on the order. For example a $10 t-shirt would be: $10 + ($.20 + .$30) + $.26 for a total of $.76 in fees. All fees will be included in the price set for the product. The buyer pays that amount, and Evvnt deducts the fees from the amount paid for the item. In the above example, a $10 item would cost the buyer $10, and that would net $0.76 in fees, leaving $9.24 in revenue to be paid to the event organizer.
