Sell tickets to your events and let Gracely handle payments, attendee lists, and fund tracking automatically. Here's how to set up a paid event from start to finish.
Step 1: Create a paid event
Go to Calendar and click Create event.
Fill in the basics:
Event name, Event start, and Event end
Event calendar (for example, Main Calendar)
A custom location or a Room (using a room helps prevent double-bookings)
Optionally add an event image and description
Turn on This is a paid event. You can then also:
Enable Limited seats to cap attendance
Allow in-person payments
Decide who covers the processing fees
Step 2: Add ticket tiers
Offer one or more ticket types. For each tier, set:
The price (for example, $100)
A ticket name (for example, Early Bird, General Admission)
The availability date and quantity
đĄ Tip: Use tiers to reward early sign-ups, for example "Early Bird" available until a cutoff date, then "General Admission" afterward.
Step 3: Funds are tracked automatically
When you create a paid event, Gracely automatically:
Creates a dedicated Fund for the event
Links all online and in-person payments to that fund
Tracks ticket sales, totals, and payment methods
To review it, go to Funds â [Event name] to see the total collected, a breakdown by source, and export options.
How people buy tickets online
Share the event from your Church Portal. Each public event shows a Get Tickets button.
On the ticket screen, the attendee enters their full name and email, chooses ticket types and quantity, and clicks Continue to Payment.
On the payment screen, they review their tickets and pay securely with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or US bank account, then click Complete Purchase.
They receive a confirmation email with their event and ticket details.
đĄ Tip: To see who signed up, open the event from the Calendar and go to the Attendees tab.
â ď¸ Note: Paid events are a Pro feature. If the This is a paid event toggle prompts you to upgrade, you'll need the Pro plan to sell tickets.
