Setting the Payments and Payment Options

You can choose between 3 charging modes to charge the event organizers when posting new event listings or using the other services offered on the website – based on credits (the users buy credits and after that spend them to pay for the different services offered on the website like for example 1 credit to post a listing, 10 credits to make it featured etc.), based on subscriptions (the event organizers can choose a subscription and pay after that for example a monthly fee and be able to list up to some number of listings), direct payment (as soon as the user posts the listing, he sees for example a PayPal icon to make his payment) or alternatively choose the website to be free for all users and in such case the users won’t be charged when posting listings or using the other services offered on the website.

The administrator is able to select one  between these 4 types he prefers from on the Settings → Payments page in the admin panel.
