Choose from two approaches

There are two different ways to offer payment plans on your Eventbrite page – with separate ticket types or by using the offline “pay by invoice” payment method. Each one has pros and cons and detailed setup instructions outlined here. Here are demo events of each approach so you can see them in action.

Approach 1: Separate ticket types

Use separate ticket types for the payment plan option.

Approach 2: Same ticket types

Payment plans your way

Unlike BNPL companies, Paythen puts you in full control. Choose the billing interval – weekly, monthly or anything else you want, add surcharges, deposits, and more.

Or align everyone’s installments to pre-set dates with our date-based plans. It’s your business – you’re in full control.

See our payment plan examples

Attendees can help themselves 24 x 7

With self-serve links like this one generated for each attendee and emailed to them when they sign up, they can see what they’ve paid, what they owe, make early payments, change their card info, view receipts and more – via a secure link they can access 24 x 7.

Deliver an exceptional experience without extra admin.

More sales, not admin with automatic everything

Customers get reminders before each scheduled payment, and there are automatic retries and automated follow-up emails if a payment fails. This reduces failed payments, chances of defaults, and eliminates manual follow-ups.

You’re always in the loop for any failed payments via email notifications and easy to spot overdue statuses in the dashboard.

Works with your workflow

Supercharge your workflow by sending attendee data to over 7,000 apps with Zapier, or use it to trigger custom workflows like attendee text messages, emails and more.

Integrate with almost any tools you use including Slack, Gmail, Salesforce, Google Sheets & more.

See our Zapier app and common workflows

An intuitive admin dashboard

Manage all your payment plan attendees easily via an intuitive admin dashboard you can invite your entire team to for free. You can see handy stats, customers that are in progress, ones that have completed, any with overdue payments and even pause, cancel and change payment dates for individual customers.

You can even create direct shareable payment links for custom orders or tailored payment plans, create coupon codes, collect one-time payments and more.

No risk, just upside

We don’t charge any fixed monthly fees and there are no hidden charges – just a low 2% when someone makes a purchase through Paythen (this is separate to any Stripe or Eventbrite fees). You can even pass this on to attendees.

This means you’re not paying for something that doesn’t help you sell more. We only make money when you do.

How does it work?

Because of limitations imposed by Eventbrite on third party payment apps, we are unable to offer a direct integration that shows a payment plan option inside the Eventbrite checkout. However, with less than 15 minutes of setup time and a Zapier account, you can easily offer payment plans on your Eventbrite event and deliver a seamless experience for your customers. See step-by-step instructions to set up this workflow for your own event. We’re here to help if you need it.

Attendees check out on your Eventbrite page as usual, but select the “Payment plan” option. The order is submitted and all details come through in Eventbrite.

Attendees get an email with their custom payment plan link that lets them pay and start their payment plan. This is sent using the Paythen Zapier app.

You update the payment status in Eventbrite to “Mark as received” when customers start their payment plan, or when they complete it, depending on your workflow.

1. Can I integrate Paythen directly into the Eventbrite checkout?

No, because of limitations imposed by Eventbrite, Paythen can't be integrated directly into the event checkout flow as a payment method. This email based workflow is the only way to use Paythen with Eventbrite at the moment. If you need a hand just reach out to us via chat.
2. Is Paythen a buy now, pay later service? How is it different?
No. Paythen is not a buy now pay later credit service like AfterPay. We use AfterPay as an example below, but the points below apply to most buy now, pay later services like Klarna, Affirm and many others.

Once you create a plan in Paythen, your customers get to choose to pay the full amount immediately or via a payment plan that you've defined. Both options require your customers to use their credit or debit card to pay. This means 100% of your customers can choose a payment plan option instead of only those that get approved for credit.
- AfterPay is a credit service. With Paythen, your customers can get get a payment plan, but they can use their existing credit or debit card to do so.
- AfterPay is like a mini-loan, with Paythen, there is no credit provided – this is not only more responsible, but also more flexible and better. Your customers get to choose how they want to pay, and which payment method they want to use, while you pay lower fees and deliver a better customer experience.
- AfterPay has a fixed 8 week repayment period. This is rigid, and can still be very high for high value items. With Paythen, you can set the payment plan interval to whatever you want – weekly, monthly, fortnightly, or any other custom interval – and you also choose how long it goes for.
- AfterPay takes away your direct relationship with your customer – and build their brand, instead of yours. With Paythen, there is little to no Paythen branding involved – we just give you the mechanism to offer split payments, while giving you the reporting and flexibility you need.
- AfterPay takes away a big chunk of your profit margin with each transaction. With Paythen, you get to decide – you pay a low 2% per transaction with no monthly or other fees. You do pay the payment processing fee to Stripe, which is the payment processor.
- Paythen is a complete billing and payment system that gives you ease of use, reporting and insights and important features for your customers whereas AfterPay and others are just credit providers.
- Paythen is built on top of Stripe – the world's most popular (and in our opinion, the best) online payment processor. This means from day one, you can accept payments in hundreds of currencies.
We go into more depth on the comparison as well as the pros and cons of BNPL vs Paythen in this article.
3. Can you help me set up Paythen on my event page?

Yes, we can help you get your payment plan flow working on your Eventbrite event. Just reach out via the chat icon and we'll help you get up and running!
4. Can I use Paythen outside Eventbrite?

Yes, Paythen works completely independently of Eventbrite too. You can create plan links that are directly shareable via your Paythen dashboard, or use it with eCommerce platforms like WooCommerce, Shopify and more.
5. What does Paythen cost?

Paythen has no fees for the first 7 days during your free trial. After this, Paythen is just a low 2% per transaction. There are no other fees or charges. We get paid only when you do!

As with all billing systems, Paythen's fees are separate to Stripe fees.
