Tip Jar/Fee Free Payments on an event — money goes straight to the host, no MyOwnEvents fee

What it is

Turn any event into a paid one. Sell tickets with secure card payments and get paid out to your bank, or add Tip Jar/Fee Free Payments so guests can tip you — and settle their share of a split cost without a processing fee.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set your tickets

    Add ticket tiers and prices while creating your event. A live breakdown shows your exact payout after fees before you publish.

  2. 2

    Attendees buy securely

    Guests pay by card through Stripe at checkout, and your earnings are paid out to your connected bank account.

  3. 3

    Or add Tip Jar/Fee Free Payments

    Add your Venmo, PayPal or Zelle and free tip buttons appear on your event. The same handles let guests pay their share of a split cost with no processing fee — the money goes straight to you, with no platform fee.

Your privacy, protected

  • Card details are handled entirely by Stripe — MyOwnEvents never sees or stores card numbers.
  • Tip Jar/Fee Free Payments money goes directly to your Venmo, PayPal or Zelle; we only log anonymous taps for your analytics, never amounts.
  • Attendee names are never shown to the public — public visitors only ever see a count. You see your full guest list as the host, and you control whether attendees can see each other.

Nobody ever sees your calendar — only whether you’re free or busy

Across every MyOwnEvents feature, your event titles, your guests, and your locations stay private. When we help you and your friends find a time, others see only whether you are free or busy — never the event details behind it. Your raw calendar events are never sold, never used for ads, and never sent to AI. Our scheduling assistant uses only the overall picture (like how many invitees are free at a given time) to suggest times — and that is never used to train AI models.
