How to Sell Show Tickets and Crowdfund Your Music

Independent musicians make money two ways that PayIt2 is built for: selling tickets to shows, and raising money from fans for a record, a tour, or new gear. The problem is that the usual tools eat into both. General ticketing platforms stack fees: Eventbrite, for example, adds a service fee plus a per-ticket charge on top of payment processing, which adds up fast across a room full of tickets. And running an album crowdfunder on a big crowdfunding site means giving up a platform fee on top of processing.

A direct link keeps the cut small for both. You create a page, share one link in your bio, your mailing list, and your socials, and fans pay from any device with no account needed. Funds land in your bank in 2 to 3 business days, so you are not waiting until after the show to get paid.

There are two ways to use it, depending on what you are doing:

Sell Tickets to a Show (set amount)

For a gig, a release show, or a house concert. You set the price and the fee is a flat $1.49 per ticket plus Stripe processing, so a $25 ticket keeps far more than a stacked percentage-plus-fee ticketing platform. See PayIt2 vs Eventbrite.

Crowdfund a Record or Tour (any amount)

For an album, an EP, a music video, or tour costs. Fans give any amount and the fee is 3.85% per donation plus Stripe processing, with no monthly fees.

Honest about the trade-offs

If you sell recorded music and merch directly, a platform like Bandcamp is purpose-built for that catalog and worth its cut. PayIt2 is the better fit for the two jobs above: ticketing your live shows and raising money toward a goal. Funds come straight to you, so a crowdfunder is not tax-deductible (it is not a charity) and there are no fan rewards fulfilled for you. Always confirm the current rates on the fees page before you launch.

Why PayIt2 for Musicians

Keep More of Every Ticket

PayIt2 charges a flat $1.49 per ticket plus Stripe processing, instead of a service fee plus a per-ticket charge stacked on top of processing. On a $25 ticket that difference adds up across a full room.

No Follower Minimum

You do not need a label, a fan-count threshold, or an approval process. Any artist can sell tickets or crowdfund from the fans they have today.

One Link, Anywhere

Drop your link in your bio, your mailing list, a pinned post, or from the stage. Fans pay from any device with no app or account, and you track sales in real time.

Frequently asked questions

Selling tickets and crowdfunding as a musician

Create an event page with a set ticket price and share one link in your bio, your mailing list, and your socials. Fans buy from any device with no account, and PayIt2 charges a flat $1.49 per ticket plus Stripe processing, so a $25 ticket keeps far more than a ticketing platform that stacks a service fee and a per-ticket charge on top of processing. Funds reach your bank in 2 to 3 business days rather than after the show.
Set up a fundraiser, explain what the money funds (recording, mixing, a music video, tour costs), and share the link with your fans. They give any amount and the fee is 3.85% per donation plus Stripe processing, with no monthly platform fee. Funds come straight to your bank, so there are no rewards fulfilled for you and the contributions are not tax-deductible, but you keep more and you are not waiting for a campaign to "succeed" before any money moves.
They solve different problems. Bandcamp is built for selling recorded music and merch from a catalog, and it is worth its cut for that. PayIt2 is built for ticketing your live shows (flat $1.49 per ticket) and raising money toward a goal like an album or tour (3.85% per donation). Many artists use both.
No. There is no label requirement, fan-count threshold, or approval process. An independent or emerging artist can sell show tickets or crowdfund from the fans they have today.
Funds deposit to your connected bank account in 2 to 3 business days after each payment, not at the end of the campaign, so you can put the money to work as it comes in.
No. Fans pay from any phone or computer with just a card. There is nothing for them to sign up for, which removes the most common reason people mean to give and never do.
Yes. Every payment is processed by Stripe, a PCI Level 1 certified payment processor, and card details are handled by Stripe rather than stored by PayIt2.
Yes. You can absorb the fees yourself, or add them at checkout so fans cover them and you keep the full amount. You choose when you set up the page.
