RSVPay

Plans that actually happen.

RSVPay is where the RSVP is the payment. Set a price, and everyone pays the moment they say they're in — no spreadsheets, no reminder texts, no chasing anyone down.

Say goodbye to “Hey, did you pay me?”

An RSVPay event: Concert at the Amphitheater, $20 per person, 8 of 8 attending with one on the waitlist.

The problem

Every group has an accountant.
Nobody applied for the job.

Someone books it, fronts the deposit, and then spends the week reminding everyone what they owe. Organizing it is work enough. Collecting for it shouldn't be.

How it works

Three steps, and none of them are nagging.

1

Set a price

Create an event with a price per person and how many spots there are.

2

People pay to hold a spot

Reserving a spot and paying for it are the same action, so there's nothing to collect afterward.

3

Get paid after the event

Everyone's payment is held until the event has happened, then released to you. Withdraw to your bank whenever you like.

The part nobody else does

Never put money down on a maybe.

Set a minimum and a deadline. If enough people commit, it's on. If they don't, the event cancels itself and everyone is refunded — before you're committed to something you can't undo.

It's the difference between hoping your group shows up and knowing.

An event showing 9 of 10 needed, with a deadline and an automatic-cancellation notice.

Questions

The money bit, plainly.

Who holds the money?

Payments are processed by Stripe. RSVPay never sees or stores your card details. The organizer's share is held until after the event has taken place.

When does the organizer actually get paid?

After the event, not before. Their share is released to their RSVPay balance once the event has happened, and they can withdraw it to their bank from there.

What if not enough people join?

If the organizer set a minimum and it isn't met by the deadline, the event is cancelled automatically and everyone is refunded. Nobody has to organize the unwinding.

What does it cost?

RSVPay is free to download, and free events cost nothing. Paid events carry a service fee, and the organizer sees exactly how it lands while they're creating the event — they set either the ticket price or what they take home, and the app shows the other number.

Can I get a refund?

The organizer chooses the refund cutoff for each event, and you'll see it before you pay — some events stay refundable until shortly before they start, others are final once charged.

What if someone can't make it after all?

Their spot frees up right away and anyone on the waitlist hears about it immediately. Whether they get their money back depends on the refund cutoff the organizer set for that event.
