Checkout

Secure payment flow

Paid events are processed through Stripe or the configured payment provider. HE Connect does not store full card details.

A paid attendee is only marked as joined after the payment provider confirms the payment through HE Connect’s webhook. This protects hosts and attendees from incomplete or abandoned checkout sessions.

Fees

Ticket price and HE Connect service fee

The attendee may pay the listed ticket price plus a transparent HE Connect service fee. This helps support the platform, payment processing integration, moderation, event tools and ongoing development.

The host receives the ticket amount through their connected account, subject to payment-provider fees, payout timing and account status.

Problems

Failed payments, refunds and disputes

If payment fails or is abandoned, the attendee should not be treated as joined. If payment succeeds but the event does not appear, the webhook or support record should be checked.

Refunds and disputes follow the refund policy, host/admin review and payment-provider rules.
