Frequently Asked Questions

What fees does TryBooking charge?

There’s no cost to get started with TryBooking, and we’re totally free for free events.

For paid events, there is a small processing fee and ticket fee:

  • 5% processing fee (charged to the event organiser by default)
  • 15p ticket fee (charged to the ticket purchaser by default)

As an Event Organiser, you have total control over who pays which fees - so you can choose whether to pass them on to your ticket purchaser, or absorb them fully.

You can find more details about our pricing on our pricing page: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/pricing

What is an event booking system?

An event booking system keeps things simple with an easy process for users to take registrations for any event by enabling online/electronic registration and payment.  

Can I customise my own event page?

Yes, you can fully customise your own event pages. We also provide widgets to allow you to integrate your event pages onto your website, social media pages, blogs and emails.

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 payment methods does TryBooking accept?

TryBooking accepts a variety of payment options, including credit and debit cards.

The following payment methods are available:

  • Visa credit and debit cards
  • Mastercard credit and debit cards
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • PayPal

Event organisers can also provide gift certificates for purchase, which can be used against any event hosted on their account.  

Event organisers may also choose to accept payment via cash or cheque - however, it take a few extra steps to record these payments in TryBooking. This will ensure you gather data on all attendees, that you don't oversell your event, and allows you to present all payments in one report.

Can I use TryBooking to sell tickets to private events?

Absolutely! You can make your event private and turn off all social media sharing using our Event Publication settings. It is at your discretion to share your unique booking URL publicly or privately.

How do I sell tickets through TryBooking?

It’s really simple to get started with TryBooking. The first step is to create an account.

You’ll need to enter a few details, and provide a valid email address and telephone number. Once you have activated your account, you will then be able to login and create your event.

We have plenty of guides in our Learning Centre to help get you started with creating the best event yet.

How long does it take to get setup?

You can setup your account and first event on TryBooking in just a few minutes.

All that's required to get started is a valid email address, ensuring that you will receive the activation email to complete the registration. Once the account has been activated, you can log in and begin creating your event.

With our event creation wizard, you'll have your event set up and selling within minutes!

How can I link my TryBooking event to my website, blog or social media?

We provide a number of methods to integrate your TryBooking event into your website for a seamless booking experience. 

Choose from our numerous Widget options to have the event embedded into your website, or one of our Event Listings to have new events auto-populate to on your site as they are created, or simply embed the unique direct URL for your event.

The direct URL is ideal for linking to social media pages.
