How the money moves
From A Delegate's M-Pesa Payment To Your Paystack Account
The ticket money goes to the Paystack account you connect, in KES. Eventify bills its own fee separately.
1
Connect Your Paystack Account
On the Payment Gateway page, click Connect on the Paystack card and paste your Public Key and Secret Key. Both must be live keys, or both test keys.
2
Price Every Pass In KES
A Kenyan Paystack account settles in shillings, and Eventify names that currency once you connect. Tickets priced in KES show as compatible on the card.
3
Delegates Pay With M-Pesa Or Card
Buyers check out on your ticket page and pay through Paystack, so each payment reaches your own Paystack account.
4
The US$1 Fee Is Billed Apart
Each paid ticket adds US$1, or the equivalent, to your Platform Fee Wallet. Your card on file is charged at US$10 owed, and checkouts pause at US$12 if that charge fails.
Paystack sets its own processing fees, which come on top. You choose Absorb or Pass On for both fees when you price a ticket. Set-up details: regional payment gateways and the Platform Fee Wallet.
Kenyan event formats
Ticket Set-Ups For Conferences, Expos And Member Meetings
Each format below uses ticket settings that already exist in Eventify's event ticketing software.
Expos And Trade Shows
One exhibitor package covers a set number of stand staff; the company names its main contact now and the rest later.
Conventions That Rotate Across East Africa
The gateway is set per event. A Kenyan Paystack account takes KES only, so each edition keeps KES prices or connects another gateway that takes its currency.
Associations And Member Meetings
Ask registrants for their category first, then show the tickets for that group, such as member, non-member or student rates.

Proof from East Africa
East African Organisers Already Run Their Events On Eventify
Two East African events with Kenyan ties, in their own case studies. Neither study covers ticket sales; they show the app, check-in and badges that your ticket orders feed into.
Africa Tea Convention
Organised by the East African Tea Trade Association, which runs the world's largest tea auction from Mombasa. When a disease outbreak triggered last-minute cancellations before the 2024 convention in Rwanda, real-time check-in showed the team who had arrived.

After the sale
One Ticket, From Paystack Receipt To Printed Badge
Every paid order becomes an attendee with a QR code that only works at your event.
- A code per delegate. Each attendee's QR code is unique to this event, so a code from last year's edition is rejected at the kiosk.
- Scan from a phone. Staff open Manage › Session Check-ins in the Eventify app and scan, or search by name, with event check-in software.
- Badges on arrival. Print name badges at the registration desk with on-site badge printing.
- Refunds through Paystack. On a Paystack order, Refund returns the whole order to the buyer in one step; part and per-ticket refunds are not offered for this gateway (refund guide).
- A note for the file. Get Refund Receipt downloads a PDF refund note you can send the delegate.

FAQs
Kenya Ticketing Questions From Event Organisers
Can attendees pay for event tickets with M-Pesa?
Yes. Connect your own Paystack account and price your tickets in KES, and buyers can pay with M-Pesa or a card at checkout. The payment goes to your Paystack account, while the Eventify fee is billed to you separately (regional gateways).
Can I price conference tickets in Kenyan shillings?
Yes. Choose KES as the currency on each paid ticket. A Paystack account accepts only its own country's currency, and once you connect it Eventify tells you which one it settles in. If your tickets use another currency, the gateway is saved but not enabled until you switch them to KES and click Enable.
Can I charge international delegates in US dollars?
One gateway is active per event and a Kenyan Paystack account takes KES, so a USD event needs a gateway that accepts USD. If the Eventify Payment Gateway is on for your account, it needs no separate account and pays out in USD by bank transfer after the event, with the 2% to 3% conversion fee waived for USD, GBP and EUR (gateway options).
What does Eventify charge on tickets paid through Paystack?
US$1, or the equivalent, per paid ticket. It is recorded in your Platform Fee Wallet and charged to your card on file once US$10 is owed. Paystack's own processing fees come on top, and you choose to absorb both fees or pass them on to the buyer.
Which Eventify plan do I need to sell tickets in Kenya?
Ticketing is included on Engage, Advance and Ultimate. Plans are priced in US dollars and start at US$999 per event, or US$1,799 per year on an annual plan (compare plans).
Can a company get an invoice with its VAT number for delegate passes?
Yes. Turn on Generate Invoice For Paid Tickets. At checkout the buyer ticks Add more information about the company, enters the VAT/GST No. and Billed To details, and can add an Additional E-mail for Invoice so their finance team gets a copy. The invoice downloads from the order page.
How do refunds work for M-Pesa and card payments?
Open the order in the Sales Report and click Refund. On Paystack orders the window refunds the full order amount through Paystack in one go, because partial and per-ticket refunds are not available on this gateway. Get Refund Receipt then gives you a PDF refund note.
Can I sell exhibitor stands and sponsor packages alongside delegate passes?
Yes. Create a ticket for your exhibitor or sponsor group and set Attendees Per Ticket to the number of staff passes in the package. The company enters its Company Name / Display Name at checkout and can name its team later from the order page.
Can delegates buy tickets on our own conference website?
Yes. Share the Ticketing Page URL from Ticket Dashboards, or paste the iFrame from Settings › Integrations into your site and switch on Hide Header so the Eventify header does not show.
How do delegates check in at the venue?
Each delegate gets a QR code that is unique to your event. Staff scan it in the Eventify app under Manage › Session Check-ins, or search by name, and admins can also record check-ins from People › Manage Attendees (check-in options).
Our convention moves to another East African country next year. Can we keep using Paystack?
Yes, as long as you keep pricing in KES. The gateway is chosen per event, and a Kenyan Paystack account settles in KES wherever the venue is. Paystack's currencies in Eventify are NGN, GHS, ZAR and KES, so for any other currency connect a gateway that supports it for that edition.
