SPOTLIGHT: Stay in Control of Your Event Payments with Cvent Payments
Event payments are harder than they need to be. If you’re still stitching together spreadsheets, bank portals, and third-party gateways to reconcile event revenue, you’re not alone. For many teams, payments are the most disorderly part of the event lifecycle, even though they should be the simplest.
Cvent Payments was built to change the way you handle transactions. It offers a simple, secure, and reliable payment processing solution tailored just for event programs.
With Cvent Payments, you can:
Collect event fees and process refunds automatically, directly within Cvent.
Accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) without juggling multiple gateways.
Flexible payment experiences like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and on-site payments via Cvent’s on-site solutions, while still keeping all related transactions tied back to the same event.
Support global audiences with over 130+ supported registration currencies.
Keep everything integrated with your Cvent event data so finance, marketing, and events are finally looking at the same source of truth.
All of this is backed by Cvent’s PCI Level 1 security posture and award-winning support.
A smoother, faster experience for attendees
Your registration flow is one of your most important conversion levers. Every extra step, redirect, or clunky payment screen is an invitation to abandon.
Cvent Payments is designed to keep attendees moving:
Pay during registration: Attendees complete registration and payment in one seamless flow, reducing drop-off and abandoned forms.
Digital wallets built in: Support for Apple Pay and Google Pay gives attendees a faster, familiar checkout experience on web and mobile.
On-site payments with OnArrival: Take secure, contactless card payments at the event with the OnArrival payment reader, capturing last-minute registrations, upgrades, or add-ons without extra hardware or systems.
The result: less friction, more complete registrations, and a payment experience that feels as modern as your event.
Less time reconciling, more time planning
For planners and finance teams, the real magic of Cvent Payments is what happens after the payment is captured.
Cvent Payments helps you:
Automate the heavy lifting: Remittances, tax collection, and reserves are handled automatically in the background, so you spend less time on manual calculations and more time on strategy.
Streamline reconciliation: Instead of cobbling data from multiple systems, you get consolidated reporting on event revenue, payouts, taxes, and reserves in a single place.
Gain clear visibility: Billing statements and remittance information are available directly in Cvent, making it easier to tie revenue back to specific events, audiences, and campaigns.
You’re not just processing payments, you’re unlocking clean, trustworthy financial data that can actually inform decisions.
Built-in security and compliance you can trust.
Payments come with high stakes: card data, compliance, chargebacks, and fraud risk. Cvent Payments is designed to give you and your stakeholders peace of mind:
PCI Level 1 Service Provider, the highest standard for payment data security
Self-service onboarding so sensitive business and banking information is entered directly by your organization into a secure, Stripe-powered flow—not shared via email or spreadsheets.
Advanced monitoring and alerts for setup errors or failed payouts, helping you identify and resolve issues before they impact your attendees or cash flow.
For IT and security teams, Cvent Payments means fewer integration points to vet, fewer vendors to manage, and a clearer, auditable path for payment data.
Turning payments into a growth lever, not a cost center
Traditional approaches to event payments are built around minimizing risk and managing complexity. Necessary, but not sufficient.
With Cvent Payments, you can:
Increase registrations with a cleaner, faster checkout experience and more payment options.
Simplify your payment stack by consolidating gateways, reporting, and reconciliation into a single integrated solution.
Unlock cleaner data and tighter control over cash flow, fees, and event profitability.
Payments stop being a black box and start becoming a lever you can pull to improve attendee experience, tighten budgets, and prove event ROI.
Ready to stay in control of your payments.
If you’re looking to simplify how you collect, protect, and reconcile event revenue, Cvent Payments is built for you.
