Paid from PayPal balance, canceled with a credit note

Connect and authorize PayPal once, then attendees pay for tickets in your event checkout with their PayPal account, for example from their balance. Every payment lands on its registration, and a cancellation triggers the refund and credit note.

The problem

Attendees want PayPal, your list wants clarity

Some attendees prefer PayPal: paying from their balance or with stored bank and card details, which the seller does not receive in full. The trouble starts on your side. Payments sit in one account, registrations in another, and you match them by hand. Then come the questions only PayPal raises: who bears the fee, what happens on a refund, and how far does Buyer Protection reach for tickets?

Paid, matched to the registration

PayPal confirms the payment and Streavent matches it to the right registration on the spot. The attendee is marked paid, the invoice goes out, and nobody keys anything in.

Payment in the familiar PayPal flow

Attendees pick PayPal in your event checkout and pay for tickets and add-ons in their familiar PayPal flow. The money moves straight into your own PayPal account, and PayPal charges you the fee.

Cancellation: money back to its source

A cancellation in Streavent triggers the PayPal refund and a matching credit note. The money returns to the original payment source. The registration is freed and the waitlist can move up, no separate login required.

These are the most common flows, not all of them. Speakers, sponsors, agenda and more sync too, and you can create a whole event straight from your tool.

How it works

Authorize once, then PayPal runs in your checkout

link

Connect and authorize PayPal

Open PayPal in Streavent, sign in and authorize once. It is directly integrated, not routed through the Open API, so there are no keys. If you mainly sell, PayPal requires a business account.

payments

Payments match themselves

From then on PayPal appears in your event checkout, and every payment is matched to its registration and event, with no reconciling between PayPal and an attendee list.

tune

Set ticket types and currency

Decide which ticket types accept PayPal, set currency and invoice details, and combine it with other payment methods. PayPal itself supports euro, Swiss franc, pound and US dollar, among others.

For your team

One event signal for your whole team

account_balance

Finance: fees run through your PayPal

PayPal charges fees to the recipient, which is you, under your PayPal terms. Each payment carries its registration and event, so revenue lines up with the automatic invoices.

event_available

Event team: paid status at a glance

Registrations show paid, pending or refunded in Streavent, whether the attendee used PayPal or another method. Check-in and badges run knowing who settled up.

credit_card

Attendees: balance instead of card details

Attendees pay in your event checkout in the PayPal flow they know, for example from their balance. The seller does not receive their full payment details. The invoice follows automatically.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Streavent is all-in-one event software for B2B events with 200 to 5,000 attendees and integrates PayPal directly as a payment method, not through the Open API. In your event checkout PayPal sits next to card payment via Stripe and, on the Growth plan, payment by invoice. You decide which ticket types accept PayPal. Registration, ticketing, check-in, badge printing and event app run in one platform, which Streavent hosts in Germany.

Your own. If you mainly sell, PayPal requires a business account. The money flows into that account, and PayPal charges fees to the recipient, which is you, under your own terms. The account and the balance remain entirely with you.

A cancellation in Streavent triggers the refund through PayPal, plus a matching credit note. The money returns to the original payment source: PayPal balance, bank account or card. You do not get the fee back in full: PayPal keeps the fixed fee of the payment. PayPal gives a refund window of 180 days from the payment date, which matters if you sell tickets very early.

PayPal names tickets among the purchases Buyer Protection can cover. The exact rules are in PayPal's Buyer Protection policy. Buyers report a problem within 180 days of payment. For you there is Seller Protection against unauthorized payments and items not received. For intangible goods and services it sets extra requirements, including proof of delivery.
