The license fee below is the only money that ever flows to us. > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · Intro paragraph above the plan cards, checked 28 October 2026 **Who pays the fees** · Yes — Nothing of Tickera's is added to a ticket, and a global fee you set yourself can be charged per ticket or per order and shown in the cart. > Global fees – If you have ticket fees that are always the same, you should use this option as it will be applied to all of your ticket types. > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/settings/general/ · Store Settings, item 10 Global fees, checked 28 October 2026 **Card processing** · Yes — Your own payment account processes every charge, and Tickera names roughly 2.9% plus $0.30 with Stripe as the usual rate it adds nothing to. > Standard gateway processing fees still apply (typically ~2.9% + $0.30 with Stripe), same as on any platform — that’s between you and your gateway, not us. > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · Intro paragraph above the plan cards, checked 28 October 2026 **All-in price at checkout** · Partly — With no platform fee the listed price is what the buyer pays, but any tax line or fee you add yourself is shown in the cart rather than in the ticket price. > Show Fees – Enable this option to display fee information in the cart. Disable it to hide fees if you don’t use them. > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/settings/general/ · Store Settings, item 11 Show Fees, checked 28 October 2026 **Free events** · Yes — A ticket priced at zero skips payment entirely through the Free Orders path, and Tickera charges nothing for issuing those tickets. > All you need to do is to create a ticket type with the price of 0 (zero). This way, customers who added tickets to the cart won’t be redirected to any payment gateway > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/faq/create-free-event/ · Body, first paragraph after the intro, checked 28 October 2026 **Plans and subscriptions** · Yes — Three license tiers exist, yearly for Standard and Bundle or one payment for Lifetime, and they change which add-ons and support you get, never the per-ticket cost. > 0% commission on every plan > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · Checklist above the plan cards, checked 28 October 2026 **Sales tax on tickets** · Yes — adds a tax line: you switch tax on, set the rate, label it VAT or similar, and choose whether prices already include it; nothing is remitted for you. > Tax Rate – If taxes are enabled, enter the tax percentage here. For example, entering 10 applies a 10% tax rate to ticket purchases. > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/settings/general/ · Store Settings, items 5-9 tax options, checked 28 October 2026 ### Getting paid **When you get the money** · Yes — Buyers pay your own payment account at checkout, so ticket money arrives as tickets sell and Tickera never holds or pays out funds. > Money lands in your Stripe / PayPal account the moment a buyer pays. > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · "What you’re actually paying for" section, checked 28 October 2026 **Disputed charges** · Yes — Disputes sit with whichever payment provider you connected, because Tickera records the order only and never handles the money or any dispute fee. > Handled by the gateway, not Tickera. Stripe disputes go through the Stripe dashboard, PayPal through PayPal, etc. > — https://tickera.com/supported-payment-gateways/ · Common questions, "Refunds, chargebacks, disputes" answer, checked 28 October 2026 **Your buyers’ details** · Yes — Buyer names, emails and form answers sit in your own WordPress database, and you can export them to CSV and email them through your own tools. > Entirely on your WordPress site — in your hosting account’s database. Tickera doesn’t have a cloud. > — https://tickera.com/ · FAQ 05, "Where does my attendee data live?", checked 28 October 2026 ### Selling the tickets **Ticket types and discounts** · Yes — Unlimited ticket types cover tiers such as VIP and early bird, with discount codes in core and bulk code generation in an add-on. > VIP, early bird, group, comp ticket types > — https://tickera.com/ · Product tour, step 01 Setup bullet list, checked 28 October 2026 **Reserved seating** · Partly — Buyers pick seats on a drag-and-drop venue chart, but only through the Seating Charts add-on, which the entry Standard license leaves out. > Seating Charts — visual reserved seating > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · Compare plans table, Premium add-ons row, checked 28 October 2026 **Questions at checkout** · Yes — Core settings turn on per-attendee name and email fields, and the Custom Forms add-on builds your own per-event questions at checkout. > Custom Forms – Build per-event forms shown at checkout. > — https://tickera.com/all-docs/ · Section 07 Forms & emails, Custom Forms entry, checked 28 October 2026 **Registration forms and waivers** · Partly — Your own fields, including waivers, come from the Custom Forms add-on rather than the core plugin, so the entry Standard license does not include it. > Capture dietary needs, sizes, preferences, waivers — per ticket type so you only ask what’s relevant. > — https://tickera.com/ · The 25-add-on moat, Custom Forms card, checked 28 October 2026 **Waitlist** · No — Core Tickera has no waitlist; the vendor's own answer sends you to WooCommerce plus a third-party waitlist plugin to capture and notify interested buyers. > Tickera’s core plugin doesn’t include a waitlist feature on its own > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/can-create-waitlist-event/ · Opening paragraph, checked 28 October 2026 **Sell on your own website** · Yes — Checkout runs on your own domain as WordPress pages built from Tickera shortcodes, so buyers never leave your site to pay. > Your storefront is your storefront. Your domain, your logo, your colors, your wording, your sender on the receipt email. > — https://tickera.com/ · FAQ 04, "Will my buyers see “Powered by Tickera” at checkout?", checked 28 October 2026 **Website builders** · Partly — native plugin or app: it installs into WordPress and nothing else, with the vendor stating outright that it works only with WordPress, so Squarespace, Wix and Shopify sites cannot run it. > Does Tickera work only with WordPress? > — https://tickera.com/all-docs/ · Section 13 FAQ & account, "Does Tickera work only with WordPress?" entry, checked 28 October 2026 **Add-ons** · Partly — Tickera itself cannot sell merchandise or parking with a ticket; the vendor's route is the WooCommerce bridge plus a third-party product add-ons plugin. > Tickera itself does not support this functionality. > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/faq/can-sell-perks-additions-tickets/ · Body, first line after the intro, checked 28 October 2026 **Recurring events** · No — There is no recurring-event scheduler; the vendor says a series means building each occurrence by hand and advises against using it that way. > Currently, Tickera does not support recurring events functionality. > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/faq/tickera-support-recurring-events/ · Body, first line, checked 28 October 2026 ### At the door **Check-in app** · Partly — Scanning is included on every license through native iOS and Android apps and a browser station, both working offline after a sync, but only while the license is active. > Ticket scanning without an active license is limited to the WordPress admin area only. To use the Checkenra app for scanning tickets at the door, an active license is required. > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · Pricing FAQ, footnote under "What happens after year one", checked 28 October 2026 **Apple Wallet** · Partly — Passes for Apple Wallet are possible, but through a third-party plugin the docs point to rather than anything Tickera builds or includes in a license. > CommerceBird – Wallet Pass for Tickera is plugin that automatically generates Apple Wallet and Android Wallet passes for Tickera ticket purchases. > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/apple-and-android-wallet-pass-for-tickera/ · Opening line, checked 28 October 2026 **Google Wallet** · Partly — Google Wallet passes come from the same third-party plugin the documentation names, not from the Tickera plugin or any of its own add-ons. > Attendees get a mobile pass download link on the Thank You page and in the order confirmation email — so they can store tickets directly in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet > — https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/apple-and-android-wallet-pass-for-tickera/ · Second paragraph, checked 28 October 2026 ### Finding buyers **Listed where buyers browse** · No — There is no Tickera marketplace or app that lists your event; every sale happens on your own domain, so no sale can carry a marketplace commission. > Four steps. Your WordPress site. Your data. The whole journey lives on your domain — never in someone else’s marketplace. > — https://tickera.com/ · Product tour intro, checked 28 October 2026 **Email to buyers** · Partly — Emailing past buyers runs through add-ons, Customer Connect for targeted mail and Mailchimp or Sendloop to push addresses to your own list, all outside the entry license. > Target emails to your customers with bullseye precision!

We accept all major credit cards through Stripe. > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · Pricing FAQ, "What payment methods do you accept for the license?", checked 28 October 2026 **Contract** · Yes — No contract or exclusivity: the plugin keeps selling tickets if you skip renewal, you only lose updates and door-app scanning, and refunds run 7 days. > Your plugin keeps working — we never disable software you’ve paid for. > — https://tickera.com/pricing/ · Pricing FAQ, "What happens after year one on Standard or Bundle?", checked 28 October 2026 **Support on event day** · Yes — Support is by email or the contact form, answered by a person within a business day; no phone line or live chat is offered, and no hours are published. > Have a procurement question, or building this for a client?
