How to run paid event registration online
Updated 2026-07-02
To run paid event registration online, build a form with your ticket types and a capacity, connect your Stripe account, and share the link. Jupiter Signup collects payment at checkout, enforces the capacity, and can open a waitlist when you sell out.
Steps
- 1 Describe the event and tickets Type the event, ticket types, and prices, for example "a workshop, $60 general and $90 VIP, 40 seats". The form and checkout are built for you.
- 2 Set capacity and a deadline Add a seat limit and, if you want, a registration deadline. Both are enforced on the server, so the event can't be oversold and closes itself on time.
- 3 Connect Stripe and collect payment Connect your own Stripe account; attendees pay when they register and the money settles into your account for a flat 2%.
- 4 Share and track Share the link or QR code. The results view shows every registration, what each attendee bought, and the running headcount.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when the event sells out?
Once capacity is reached the form marks it sold out and stops taking registrations, and it can automatically switch remaining sign-ups to a waitlist.
Can I have more than one ticket type?
Yes. Add as many priced ticket tiers as you need; each can have its own price and its own capacity.
How do I collect money for an event online?
Describe the event and what it costs, whether that's a single flat fee, a few ticket tiers, or a suggested donation, then connect your own Stripe account. The form adds up the total and takes payment at checkout, or you can collect off-platform by Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zeffy, Zelle, or cash and mark people paid yourself.
How do I do online registration for an event without a manual form builder?
Describe the event to Jupiter Signup instead of dragging fields into a builder. It writes the whole registration form, tickets, capacity, and questions included, and you refine anything afterward by chatting.
What does Jupiter Signup cost?
There is no monthly plan required. It takes a flat 2% of what you collect, on top of Stripe's normal processing fee. A sign-up that does not charge is free.
