Q. How much does EventRegist cost?
Basic functions such as creating events, sending invitations, managing attendees, etc. are free. If you sell paid tickets, we will charge you a fee of 8% of the ticket sales. EventRegist also charges event organizers a bank transfer fee to transfer ticket sales from EventRegist to the event organizer.

■ Payment Process
We will transfer your payment, less the ticket sales commission and bank transfer fee, to your designated account within 10 business days from the end of the event.
Any amount after the decimal point of the payment will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
(e.g.) If the transfer amount is 35,690.6 yen → 35,690 yen
