Payouts and fees

Here's everything you need to know about getting paid for your events.

Platform fees

Weeknights charges a single platform fee on paid tickets:

Standard rate: 5%

This is the only fee deducted from your ticket sales. Stripe payment processing costs are covered by Weeknights out of this fee — you never pay Stripe fees separately.

Note: Early-adopter clubs may have promotional rates that differ from the standard fee.

A minimum fee of €0.30 plus 1.9% per order applies to cover payment processing costs. If your percentage rate works out below this minimum, the minimum is charged instead. This mostly affects low ticket prices and promotional rates.

Free events are always free — no fees for free RSVPs.

Example breakdown

For a €20 ticket:

Ticket price: €20.00
Weeknights fee (5%): €1.00
You receive: €19.00

When you set a ticket price, the price screen shows this breakdown for your event: what the guest pays, the estimated Stripe transaction fee, the Weeknights fee, and what you receive. After a sale, the actual Stripe cost is recorded per order.

When you get paid

Payouts happen automatically through Stripe:

Timing: Payouts are sent to your bank account on a rolling basis
Schedule: Typically every 2-7 days, depending on your Stripe account settings
Currency: Euros (EUR)

You can check your payout schedule in your Stripe dashboard.
