Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I download the TryBooking Box Office App?
You can download the TryBooking Box Office App on the App Store and Google Play. Once you've downloaded the app, you can sign into your TryBooking account and start selling tickets.
What are your fees?
It's free to get started on TryBooking, and you'll only pay when you sell paid tickets.
For paid events, we offer two simple pricing options:
- Standard: 5% + 15p per ticket (inc VAT and payment processing)
- Stripe Connect: 75p per ticket (inc VAT) + Stripe fees
That's it - no setup fees, no monthly charges. Everything's included: your event page, customer support, and all our features. Running a free event? It stays completely free. Selling tickets? You only pay our simple fees on actual sales.
Can I sell tickets at the door?
Absolutely! Our Box Office app turns your phone into a door sales point. Take contactless card payments with Tap to Pay or record cash sales - everything syncs instantly with your online sales so you won't oversell. Door buyers get their tickets emailed immediately, and all your sales stay together in one report.
For checking in guests who've already bought tickets, just use our mobile scanning app. No special equipment needed - just download the apps to your phone and you're ready.
What payment methods do you support?
Our Box Office app supports cash and contactless card payments - including mobile payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Is TryBooking safe?
TryBooking is fully compliant with all information security protocols to ensure the safety of all data stored on our platform.
All data stored on our systems is encrypted using industry standard encryption algorithms, and we are fully compliant with PCI security protocols for the storage of payment data. We never store full credit card information - only storing the last 4 digits to show you which card has been used to make the booking.
We take all reasonable measures to ensure your data is secure. All our data is hosted securely in the United Kingdom. We have several layers of security to prevent against attack, including multi-factor authentication, the use of secure website connections on all pages and firewalls protecting against unauthorised traffic.
What devices are compatible with the Box Office App?
The TryBooking Box Office App is compatible with Apple (iOS) and Android devices. You can see system requirements on our Learning Centre.
What if I need help setting up my event?
We're here to help you get your event up and running smoothly. Our friendly support team is available by phone, email, or live chat if you get stuck or just want someone to talk through your options. We've also got a comprehensive Learning Centre with step-by-step guides, video tutorials, and answers to common questions.
Most event organisers find they can set everything up themselves, but it's nice to know help is there if you need it. No question is too small - we've helped thousands of events across the UK, so we've pretty much seen it all!
Can I use an in person terminal?
We have a limited number of terminals available for hire for use with our web based Box Office solution. For more information, email our support team.
