Frequently asked questions about the Vanco payment gateway
Do you charge any commission or service fees for each event or each registration?
We do not add any commission fees for your events or your attendee registrations which means that you keep more funds from each registration. Connect your account from Vanco to Event Smart and receive payments directly to your Vanco merchant account as your attendees register and pay for their event registrations.
How can I set up a recurring payment, payment plan, or a subscription through Vanco?
Recurring payments, payment plans, or subscriptions are not currently supported in the Vanco feature upgrade. When an attendee pays for their event registration with Vanco, they pay up front so, you receive your funds right away.
What if I get stuck or need some help?
We understand that as a busy professional, you need an events solution that allows you to focus on your events. To help you get up and running quickly, we’ve created a getting started guide for Event Smart that takes you from setting a timezone on your website through publishing your first event. And we have a help center for Event Smart that has answers to other questions. We’ll even proactively check-in with you about getting your first event published. If you get stuck or have a problem, then you can send us an email, and we’ll help you get moving forward again.
