When you RSVP to a paid event, the host chooses which payment methods they accept. You pick one at checkout.
Card (instant)
Pay by credit or debit card through our secure Stripe checkout. Your RSVP is confirmed right away and your ticket arrives by email.
Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Wise, and more (needs a quick review)
Hosts can offer these and other payment apps of their choice. You pay the host directly using the handle shown on the event, then upload a screenshot of your payment as proof. Your RSVP sits at "Pending" until the host verifies the screenshot — usually within a day or two. Once they confirm it, your ticket is issued. Offkai never touches this money; it goes straight to the host.
Cash at the door
Reserve your spot now and pay in person when you arrive. Your ticket and QR code stay on hold until the host marks you paid — usually right at check-in.
Promo or access codes
Have a code? Enter it on the event before you check out — it can unlock a discount or reveal hidden ticket tiers.
Why does my RSVP say "Pending"? That only happens with screenshot methods (Venmo/Zelle/PayPal/Wise) — it's waiting for the host to confirm your payment. Card payments are never pending. If it's been more than a couple of days, contact the host.
Events billed after they happen
Some events split a flat venue cost (a karaoke room, a rented space) by who actually attends. You RSVP without paying and just pick how you'll pay later. After the event the host finalizes the headcount, and you get an email and a notification with your exact share — pay it from the event page or Your RSVPs by card, a screenshot method, or cash, by the due date. Once it's received your RSVP reads "Paid — thanks for attending". You can't cancel a bill yourself; if you didn't attend, contact the host and they'll waive it.
