# What Peewah Payments costs, and when to use your own gateway

If you use **Peewah Payments** to sell tickets, these fees apply.

> 📌 **This covers the payment gateway only.** Using the Peewah platform —
> registration, forms, check-in, certificates — is priced separately, on
> credits. See the pricing article.

---

# The fee

**12% of each ticket sold**, with a **minimum of $1 USD per ticket**.

If 12% of the ticket comes to less than the minimum, the minimum applies.

| Ticket price | Fee |
|---|---|
| $5 | $1.00 (minimum) |
| $25 | $3.00 |
| $100 | $12.00 |

**What it covers:** payment processing, payments infrastructure, order
management and sales reconciliation.

# You can avoid it

Connect **your own gateway** — Stripe or PayPal — and payments go straight into
your account. **Peewah then charges 0% on ticket sales.** Your gateway has its
own fees.

# Which one suits you

The fee is not the only difference. **The other is when you get the money**, and
for many organizers that matters more.

| | **Peewah Payments** | **Your own gateway** |
|---|---|---|
| What you need | Nothing. One click | An active account with the provider |
| Peewah's fee | 12%, minimum $1 USD | 0% |
| What else you pay | Nothing extra | Your gateway's own fees |
| **When you get paid** | **After the event ends** | Your gateway's schedule, usually sooner |
| Setup time | Immediate | A day to several weeks, depending on the provider |

**Peewah Payments suits you if** it is your first paid event or you run few
events a year; you have no gateway account and opening one would take longer
than you have; you do not need the money before the event; or you would rather
not deal with credentials at all.

**Your own gateway suits you if** you sell volume, where the fee difference
adds up fast; **you need the money before the event** to pay the venue,
catering or a speaker — the most common reason, and the one people think about
too late; you already have an account you use for other things; or your
organization requires funds to land directly in its own account.

# 🔴 When the money arrives

With Peewah Payments, **your sales are paid out after the event ends**.

If your budget depends on collecting registrations to pay the venue, the
catering or a speaker's travel, **that money will not be available when you
need it.** With your own gateway it lands on your provider's schedule, which is
almost always sooner.

---

# You are not choosing forever

You can use Peewah Payments for one event and your own gateway for the next, or
switch once yours is ready.

**A common path:** start with Peewah Payments so the first event's sales are
not held up, then set up your own gateway calmly for the next one — when you
know how much you actually sell and whether the fee is worth avoiding.
