With PWYC (Pay What You Can) packages, venues can create a package with a suggested contribution amount while still allowing patrons to complete their reservation at no cost (or a required minimum contribution) if they choose. This makes the feature ideal for festivals, community events, educational programming, and other admission-by-donation offerings.

How it works

Create a package that includes a predefined list of events.
Set a suggested donation amount (for example, $50).
During checkout, patrons can:
- Pay the suggested amount.
- Increase their contribution.
- Reduce the contribution, including all the way to $0.

This can be enabled via the Package Ticket setting when creating the package:

Benefits

Encourages contributions without requiring payment.
Simplifies the patron experience by combining multiple events into a single package.
Perfect for festivals, free community programming, lecture series, and similar events.
