How do payments work?

Booth fees are paid securely through Stripe when you book a confirmed spot at an event. You receive a receipt and can view your full payment history in your vendor dashboard.

Organizers receive payouts directly to their connected Stripe account. Convene processes the transaction and funds are transferred to the organizer's bank account shortly after payment clears. No chasing checks, no handling cash.
