Absorb the Fee


You can do this by leaving the fee section blank or marking it as zero.

  • This means that the fees for SimpleTix and your chosen payment processor will be deducted from your ticket revenue or from the credit card you have on file.
  • This may vary depending on your location.
  • Your attendees will only see the ticket price while purchasing.

Recommended Fee 


You can do this by clicking recommended fee below the fee box.

  • This automatically computes the exact fees based on your ticket price.
  • The fees will be visible to the buyer.
  • It'll be seen as an additional charge on top of the ticket price.

  • It'll be seen as an additional charge on top of the ticket price.
