What is an organizer?
An organizer is any user invited by the store admin to create events and sell tickets within the store. Different events can be created and managed by different organizers.
The organizer can also be referred to as the host whose name appears at the bottom of the event page. They are those in charge of an event.
Important: If you're the Admin or owner of the ticket store, you are automatically an organizer.
The organizer vs the store admin
Store admins can also be organizers, but they have higher-level permissions. This allows them to implement store-wide changes such as setting default order limits and custom booking fees. Only store admins can add other users, including organizers and ticket reps.
Store admins are also called store owners.
To whom do event ticket sales go?
All ticket sales are received in the store owner's Stripe account. The owner's Stripe account is the only one connected to the ticket store.
When organizers sell tickets through the event they created, the revenue breakdown is reported in the Balance & Payouts tab.
Store admins must make personal arrangements to transfer the funds to the organizer.
Organizer: Users vs Organizers vs Groups
1. Organizer, the user
When you add a new user, you're asked to assign a permission level. Organizer is one of the three permission levels.
This means this user can only perform organizer roles such as creating events and selling tickets to these events, viewing reports for their own events, and adding discount codes.
These are the only main settings available to the organizers' dashboard.
Users with organizer permissions need to be added to at least one host organizer. It's similar to being assigned to a team with whom you'll create events. As a team, you will be referred to as the hosts.
2. Organizer, the host
Organizer, the host, is the individual, company, or group hosting an event. Their name appears on the event page under "Hosted By." The host can be a group of users, and the store owner tracks their events' sales and performance collectively.
3. Organizer groups
Organizer groups let organizers be grouped by category, such as country, event type, etc.
The store admins create these organizer groups so that, on the front end, they appear as filters that supplement the event categories.
This effectively organizes the events in your store and makes browsing easy for ticket buyers.
