Dance Command Pricing How it works Sign in Start free

Free to use. One fee when you sell

Everything in Dance Command is free: tickets, the door, your dancer list, messages, forms and booking your team. We charge one transaction fee when you sell something, and nothing else.

7.5% + $1

Transaction fee: 7.5% + $1 per sale: tickets, passes, merch, lessons, tips and team dues, online or in person.

Under $10, it is 10% with no fixed part, never under 50¢. On a $5.00 tip the fee is $0.50.

You choose who pays the fee.

Pass the transaction fee on and the buyer pays it at checkout, so you keep your whole price. Or absorb it, or split it. The checkout, the receipt and your reports all show it the same way.

You chargeFeeBuyer paysYou keep
$20 ticket$2.50$22.50$20.00
$60 lesson$5.50$60.00*$54.50

Fee passed on. Absorbed instead, the $20 ticket costs the buyer $20.00 and you keep $17.50.

* A $60 lesson link takes the fee from the amount today, so the student pays $60.00 and you keep $54.50.

Cheaper when you pay your people.

We want you to run everything here, so it's cheaper to pay your DJs, instructors and crew. Paying your people has a lower transaction fee: Bank 0.8% (max $5) · Card 2.9% + $0.30.

Paying someone $60.00: $0.48 by bank, $2.10 by card. They always receive the full $60.00.

The fee includes Dance Seekers.

Every night you publish goes on Dance Seekers, where dancers look for somewhere to go. No extra charge for any of it:

Close on price. Different on what's included.

TicketEventbrite feesDance Command
$20.00$3.11–$3.18$2.50
$60.00$5.75–$5.87$5.50

At $60.00 the gap is small, $0.25 to $0.37 a ticket. The difference is what the fee includes: your nights on Dance Seekers, the door, your dancer list and messages.

What the buyer pays in fees on one ticket. Eventbrite's figures are its US pricing as published at eventbrite.com/organizer/pricing, read September 26, 2026 (3.7% + $1.79 per ticket, plus 2.9% processing per order); the range depends on whether their per-order charge is taken on the ticket alone or on the whole order.

"My students just Venmo me."

Charge your students on Dance Command and keep the record straight:

A lesson you charge for has a transaction fee of 7.5% + $1. Venmo charges sellers too: 2.99% on a personal profile paid for goods and services, 1.9% + 10¢ on a business profile, and it keeps that fee when you refund. Source: Venmo's fee page, read September 26, 2026.

Invoices, small and large sales, nonprofits, payouts
  • Invoices (billing a venue or a sponsor): 5% + $1.25 by card, and we never keep more than $10 of one: a $5,000 sponsorship by card pays $155.30. Or 1% by bank transfer, at least $2 and never more than $50.
  • Under $10: 10%, no fixed part, never under 50¢.
  • We never keep more than $10 on one sale. On a big ticket the fee is what the card costs to run plus $10: a $500 ticket pays $24.80, not 7.5% + $1.
  • Verified nonprofits: a $0 transaction fee on donations. Donors are asked to cover what the card itself costs on the gift; cash donations cost nothing.
  • Payouts land in your own Stripe account. You are the merchant, you own refunds, and money reaches your bank on Stripe's schedule.
  • Refunds: the buyer gets back everything they paid for the ticket or the charge, online or in person. The transaction fee isn't refunded, the same way Stripe keeps its own.
  • Prices in US dollars. Tickets sell in your Stripe account's currency, with payouts in your country's currency where Stripe is available.
