To add a service fee at checkout, or pass along fees to your attendees, follow these steps:

1. Click on your Event

2. Click on the "Payment" tab underneath "Event settings"

3. Check the box that says "Pass on PromoTix servicd fees to ticket buyer?". This will pass on all PromoTix fees to the ticket buyer.

4. Click on the box that says "Add service fee?". Enter a percentage which you would like to add as a service fee across all ticket types on your event.* For example, enter "5" if you would like to add a 5% custom service fee.
