You bring the audience. Keep what they pay.

Most event platforms charge a percentage of every payment on top of what you already pay them. signup.studio doesn't. Your Stripe account collects the money directly — we never touch it.

Start collecting payments free How it works

Free sign‑ups always. Payment collection is a one-time $5 per sign‑up.

Zero platform cut. We charge a flat $5 per paid sign‑up. Every dollar your participants pay goes to you (minus Stripe's standard fee).
Stripe Connect direct charges. Money flows directly to your Stripe account — not through us first. We are not a money transmitter.
Transparent Stripe fees. Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ processing fee applies and is visible. No surprises, no markups.
Payment is optional. Add a payment field to any sign‑up or keep it free. You decide per event.

How it works

Direct to your Stripe account. Always.

1

Connect your Stripe account

One-time OAuth flow. You connect the Stripe account where you want to receive payments. Takes about two minutes.

2

Set a price on any sign‑up

Add a payment amount to any sign‑up you create. Participants pay at registration — before their spot is confirmed.

3

Money lands in your account

Stripe deposits directly to you on their normal payout schedule. We never hold funds, never disburse funds, never take a cut.

The math

The platform cut adds up fast.

When you drive your own traffic — email your list, post on social, text your group — a per-transaction platform fee is a tax on your own audience.

With a 5% platform cut

20 participants at $50 each:

$50 to the platform

Every. Single. Event.

With signup.studio

20 participants at $50 each:

$0 to signup.studio

One flat $5 per sign‑up. Nothing per transaction.

What you always pay

Stripe's standard processing fee applies regardless of what platform you use:

2.9% + 30¢ per transaction

This is Stripe's fee, not ours. We don't mark it up.

Payment features

Payments built the right way.

Payment collection is a $5 one-time purchase on the sign‑up that needs it. Free sign‑ups are unlimited and ad-free; they just don't collect money.
