How Booking Fees are calculated

Our standard plan is a $9 per month subscription and a 4.5% booking fee. Therefore, all booking fees are 4.5% per booking, whether you pass the fee on to the customer or absorb it as the merchant.


All booking fees are capped at $ 11 per booking.

Occasion collects Gift Card Booking Fees when

  • The customer purchases a Gift Card via Occasion with a credit card.

Occasion does not collect Gift Card Booking Fees when

  • The Gift Card is ordered via Quickorder in cash.

  • The customer uses a Gift Card to pay for and book an event, but the Gift Card must cover the total in full. Gift Card booking fees are not charged upon redemption.


    For example:

    A customer books a $35 event and uses a $40 Gift Card to cover the cost. The customer will not be charged a booking fee.


    If the order is paid partially with a Gift Card and with a credit or debit card, booking fees will be charged and collected based on the total before any discount.
