Creating Spaces Without Stripe
Good news! You can now create and manage a TiBillet space without needing a Stripe account initially. This makes it easier to get started with TiBillet for free events and basic management.
How It Works
When creating a new TiBillet space:
- Fill out the registration form with your organization's details
- You'll see an option to indicate whether you want to collect payments (tickets, memberships, donations)
- If you uncheck this option, you can proceed without setting up a Stripe account
- Your space will be created with limited functionality focused on free events
What You Can Do Without Stripe
Even without a Stripe account, you can:
- Create and manage free events
- Handle reservations for free tickets
- Manage your organization's information
- Set up event details, locations, and schedules
- Connect a LaBoutik cash register for in-person payments
Limitations Without Stripe
Without a Stripe account, you won't be able to:
- Accept online payments for tickets
- Process online memberships or subscriptions
- Receive TiBillet federated currency
- Collect donations online
Adding Stripe Later
You can always add a Stripe account later when you're ready to accept online payments:
- Go to your administration panel
- Navigate to the Configuration section
- Look for the Stripe integration option
- Follow the onboarding process to connect your Stripe account
LaBoutik Integration
If you want to accept in-person payments without online payment processing:
- Check the "LaBoutik cash register" option during registration
- This allows you to connect a physical point-of-sale system
- You can accept cash and card payments in person
- Note that for full functionality, including online payments and TiBillet federated currency, you'll eventually need to create a Stripe account
Support During Setup
All new space requests are manually validated by the TiBillet team. If you have questions or need assistance:
- Join our Discord community
- Connect with us on Matrix
- Email us at contact@tibillet.re
We're here to help you get started, even if you're not ready for online payments yet!
Note: While you can start without Stripe, we recommend setting up a Stripe account eventually to access the full range of TiBillet features, especially if you plan to sell tickets online or participate in the TiBillet federated currency ecosystem.
