On KOLA the fan pays the fee and card processing at checkout, shown before they pay as Taxes & fees, with each amount a tap away, so neither comes out of your ticket price. No setup or monthly cost to you. Totals are before any sales tax.

FIXR's booking fee and transaction fee are paid by the buyer, and you can choose to absorb the booking fee. Its total includes the VAT on its fees; the transaction fee goes up with the size of the order.

Questions

Good to know.

Anything else, the guides have it.

Can I sell in pounds?

Yes. Organizers can be paid in the UK in pounds, and fans pay card processing at the UK rate, 1.5% + 20p, at checkout.

Do my door staff need an app?

No. KOLA's scanner runs in any phone's browser, with nothing to install.
