Event Payment Processing
Simplify Event Payment Processing With a Unified, Integrated Experience Across the X-CD Platform.
All transactions, refunds, chargebacks, disputes, fraud indicators, tokenized payments, and on-site payments live inside X-CD, reducing fragmented records and improving financial visibility.
By removing multiple gateways and mismatched reporting formats, admins spend less time chasing discrepancies and more time working from consistent, reliable financial data.
Members and attendees get a smoother checkout for renewals, registrations, donations, and on-site purchases, reducing drop-offs. Tokenized payments let them save cards for faster, more secure future purchases.

No tokenization fees, storage charges, or per-card penalties make auto-renewal programs more affordable to run and free up budget for programs, events, and staff capacity.
Finix-backed infrastructure enables consistent transaction processing, stronger fraud detection, streamlined refunds, and more efficient dispute handling, supporting growth in membership and event volume without adding operational complexity.
PRICING AND RATES
Experience straightforward, transparent pricing designed to eliminate unexpected costs. With X-CD Payments, there are no monthly gateway fees, and all transactions are processed directly within the X-CD platform, so payment management stays clear and predictable.
X-CD Payments offers a pass-through fee option, allowing organizations to choose whether transaction fees are absorbed internally or shared with the purchaser at checkout.
This option provides greater control over payment costs, helping to protect margins on registrations, memberships, donations, and on-site transactions, especially for high-volume or low-margin events.

Event payment systems are software tools that manage the collection, processing, and tracking of payments throughout an event’s lifecycle. They support transactions such as event registrations, on-site purchases, donations, and membership-related payments, while keeping payment data centralized for reporting, reconciliation, and refunds.
Stripe is still a separate system. You manage payments in one place and your event data in another, which means exports, reconciliation, and report matching. X-CD Payments is fully embedded inside your event and membership platform. One system. One database. One financial record that balances to the penny. No syncing. No duplicate reporting. No reconciliation headaches.
Legacy setups typically require a gateway, a processor, and layered fees. Reporting lives outside your event system and financial reconciliation becomes a manual process. X-CD Payments replaces the gateway and processor in one embedded solution. No stacked fees. No disconnected dashboards. Everything lives inside X-CD.
Yes — and not just because of rates. Most associations spend more on bookkeeping, reconciliation, and staff time than they realize. With X-CD Payments, revenue automatically reconciles inside your platform, often reducing accounting time by 90% or more. You can also choose to pass credit card and ACH fees to registrants, potentially lowering your effective rate to 0%–2.9%. There are no gateway fees, no monthly fees, no batch fees, no tokenization fees, and no onsite hardware fees. Fewer layers. Lower overhead. Cleaner financial operations.
X-CD Payments charges 2.9% + $0.30 per credit card transaction, plus a 2% service fee. For EFT/ACH/eCheck payments, the service fee is 1%.
Many event and conference platforms charge both a platform fee and a payment processing fee. For example, Eventbrite charges 3.5% + $1.29 per ticket plus 2.9% processing. Fourwaves charges a 3% platform fee plus processing. Oxford Abstracts charges 2.5% plus Stripe’s processing fees. Other enterprise systems like Cvent and EventsAir embed Stripe and layer platform fees on top.
In practice, most embedded competitors land between 5%–8% effective cost once platform and processing fees are combined.
With X-CD Payments, fees are transparent, predictable, and fully embedded inside your event and membership system. There are no gateway fees, no monthly fees, no batch fees, and no tokenization fees. And if you choose to pass fees through to registrants, your effective cost to the organization can be significantly reduced.
For organizations processing over $5M annually, volume pricing is available. High-volume clients can negotiate reduced service fees — in some cases as low as 1%.
One platform. One financial record. Clear economics.
