How it works

From sign-up to sold-out, in plain English.

No month-long implementation. No "professional services" invoice. Just the actual steps.

1

Sign up & verify

Create your account with your org's EIN. We'll verify your 501(c)(3) status against IRS Publication 78. Takes about 2 minutes.

2

Connect Stripe

Go through Stripe Connect Express onboarding. You'll link your org's bank account so donations deposit directly to you — not through us.

3

Build your event

Set up ticket types, auction items, paddle-raise tiers, and sponsors. Upload your cover photo and logo. Your event page goes live at yourorg.inevently.com.

4

Sell tickets & promote

Share your event URL. Tickets sell through Stripe — funds deposit to your account on Stripe's schedule. Guests get SMS/email confirmations with QR codes.

5

Run the night

Check guests in on iPads. Auction opens on mobile. Paddle raise runs from the stage app. Every pledge, bid, and purchase shows on your event director's dashboard live.

6

Close out

Winners get invoices and pickup instructions. Tax receipts go out automatically. You get a clean report for finance and a spreadsheet for your development team.
