For hosts
Setting up, running, and getting paid for your event.
- Creating and publishing your eventA field-by-field walkthrough of the Host → + Create form — capacity, pricing, payment methods, check-in, and visibility.
- Ticket Tiers & Promo CodesSell General/VIP/Early-bird pricing instead of one flat price, then use promo codes to unlock hidden tiers or hand out discounts.
- Setting Up a FundraiserCollect donations toward a goal instead of selling seats — buckets, progress bars, a donor wall, and what Stripe requires before you can publish.
- Setting Up a Group BuySell items instead of seats — merch, snacks, or bulk orders — with shipping or pickup, optional tax, and how promo codes apply to the goods subtotal.
- Co-hosts & rolesInvite co-hosts to help run an event, understand the difference between Editor and Scanner, and see what each one can and can’t do.
- Scheduling, drafts, and sharing your eventTime a ticket drop, gate a presale behind a password, work on an event privately before it goes live, and get the share link into the right hands.
- Approving paymentsHow the payments queue works — screenshots, cash approvals, Stripe auto-verification, and walk-ins.
- Check-in modes: QR, roster, or noneHow QR-ticket scanning and roster check-in work at the door, and what changes when you switch modes on an event that already has attendees.
- Waitlist & seat offersHow the waitlist queue, seat offers, auto-promote, and Pause RSVPs work together on a capped event.
- Emails & notifications for hostsWhat your attendees get automatically, what you trigger yourself (Broadcast), and how the unsubscribe link actually scopes.
- Cancelling and refunding attendeesHow to cancel a single RSVP or the whole event, what your cancellation policy controls, and exactly what a Card refund returns.
- Adjusting a confirmed RSVPChange add-ons or guest count on a confirmed RSVP without cancelling it — top-up charges, silent fixes, and the audit trail.
- Fees & payment terms for hostsThe full breakdown of what Offkai charges, what Stripe charges, who collects what, and what shows up on your payout.
- Using the invoice generatorBuild an invoice, bill, or receipt for a vendor, co-host, or sponsor — print it or save it as a PDF. Nothing is stored on Offkai.
- Your event's insights dashboardRSVPs and revenue over time, payment-method and add-on breakdowns, and the quick-glance tiles on your event page.
