For paid events, you set an amount (and optionally per-invitee amounts), and invitees pay via a secure link. You can waive the fee for specific people.

​
Set the event amount

  • When creating the event, set Amount (e.g. $10). This is the default charge per invitee. Currency is usually USD unless your org uses another.

​
Per-invitee amount and waive

  • When you add invitees, you can often:
    • Use default amount: Each invitee sees the event amount.
    • Custom amount: Override for one person (e.g. $5 for a guest).
    • Waive: Set amount to $0 for that invitee so they do not need to pay (e.g. speaker, volunteer).
  • Waived invitees can still RSVP and are marked as paid/waived in the event.

​
How invitees pay

  1. They receive the event invite email and click the link.
  2. They see event details and, if they have a balance, a Pay button or payment step.
  3. They enter payment details (card) on the secure payment page (Stripe). After success, they are marked paid and their RSVP is confirmed.
  4. Payment page: typically rowhouse.co/events/[eventId]/pay (or similar). Do not share this URL broadly; invitees get it via their personal invite link.
Processing fees may apply (see Processing fees). The member pays the event amount plus any fee; your org receives the event amount minus fees and Stripe’s share.

​
View payment status

  • In the event’s Invitees list, you see who has Paid, who is Waived, and who is Unpaid. You can resend the pay link or waive from there (if the UI allows).
