Creating an event
Event settings
Tax configuration
Each event can have its own tax settings, which is important since tax rates vary by city and state:| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Tax method | Inclusive (tax included in price) or On top (tax added at checkout) |
| Tax rate | The percentage applied to taxable items |
| Tax categories | Different rates for different product categories, if needed |
Payment splits
If a venue takes a percentage of merch sales, configure payment splits at the event level:- Simple split — A single percentage split between artist and venue
- Advanced split — Separate split rates for hard goods (apparel, accessories) and soft goods (posters, stickers)
Tip splits
Configure how tips are divided:- Artist share — Percentage of tips going to the artist
- Staff share — Percentage of tips going to the merch staff
Venue Stripe Connect
For events where the venue processes their own payments, you can connect a venue-level Stripe account. This enables direct deposits to the venue for their share of sales.Bulk operations
When managing tours with many dates, you can:- Bulk create events by importing a list of dates and venues
- Bulk delete events that have been cancelled
- Copy settings from one event to apply tax/split configuration to others
