# Event payments

> Paid events: assign amount, waive, and member pay link

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](/events/create-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](/events/invite-members), 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.

<Note>
  Processing fees may apply (see [Processing fees](/finance/processing-fees)). The member pays the event amount plus any fee; your org receives the event amount minus fees and Stripe's share.
</Note>

## 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).

See [Troubleshooting](/events/troubleshooting) for payment failed or pay link broken.
