When an organizer lists an event, it shows up here while people can still vote or commit.
Start an event freeHow it works
01
Post a plan
Post one plan, or a few options for the group to vote on. No card needed to vote. Splitting a house or venue? The price per person drops as more people join.
02
Save a card
The option that wins opens for commits. Each person saves a card. Nothing is charged yet.
Payments by Stripe.
03
Charged only if it fills
When the minimum is reached, everyone's card is charged at once. If the deadline passes first, nobody is charged.
04
The organizer is paid at the close
Spots stay open until the deadline, or 14 days after the minimum is reached, whichever is sooner. The organizer is paid when commits close. If you split a fixed total and more people joined, early payers get the difference back.
Free for organizers. No setup fees and no monthly plan.
On a paid event, the person who commits pays a small service fee on top of the spot, plus card processing, so the organizer receives the full spot price.
A $40 spot
$40 + $2.00 fee + $1.56 processing = $43.56
That is the checkout total with the current service fee. The organizer gets $40.
A family reunion
Someone rents a house and posts that one plan, or a few dates for the family to vote on. No card is needed to vote. They set a minimum and share the link. Everyone who is in saves a card. If the minimum is reached, the cards are charged. If the house is a fixed total and more people join, the price per person drops and early payers get the difference back. If the deadline passes first, nobody is charged.
Questions
When am I charged?
When the minimum is reached, every saved card is charged at once. If the deadline passes first, nobody is charged. Voting does not ask for a card.
Can I drop out?
There are no refunds after the minimum is reached, unless the event is cancelled. If you can't go, the organizer can approve someone to take your spot. Once that person pays, you get back your share plus our fee. Card processing is not refunded.
What if a card fails?
If a card is declined when the minimum is reached, that person has 48 hours to pay another way. If there are still not enough paid spots when that window ends, everyone who was charged is refunded in full.
What does a free event cost?
On a paid event, the person who commits pays a small service fee on top of the spot. Free events, with no ticket, cost nothing for your first 3, then $5 each.
Who holds the money?
Stripe holds the card payments. Organizers are paid through Stripe Connect when commits close. CountMeIn is US-only for now.
