Ways your attendees can pay

PayPal gives buyers several familiar ways to pay at checkout. Many complete the purchase in a couple of taps with a saved PayPal account, while others pay with a card as a guest where that option is available. Offering a checkout people already use helps reduce hesitation and abandoned orders.

Higher checkout conversion through trust

Buyers are more likely to finish a purchase when they see a payment brand they recognize. PayPal keeps buyer details secure, so returning customers can pay without retyping card numbers, which is useful for spontaneous ticket purchases on mobile.

Flexible payments for higher-priced tickets

With Pay Later and Pay in 4 in supported markets, attendees can split the cost of higher-priced tickets, passes or bundles into installments while you receive the full amount up front. This can lift conversion for premium tiers and multi-day passes.

Good for events of any size

PayPal is self-serve and fits solo organizers, clubs and larger promoters alike. There is no sales contract and no minimum volume: you connect your own PayPal account and start selling, whether you run a single workshop or a recurring series.

Frequently asked questions

How much does PayPal charge for selling tickets?

Do buyers need a PayPal account to pay?

No. Where guest checkout is available, buyers can pay with a debit or credit card without creating a PayPal account. Buyers who already have an account can pay faster with their saved details.

PayPal is available in more than 200 markets and lets buyers pay in over 100 currencies, which makes it a strong option for selling tickets to international audiences.
