Early access
For organizers and businesses

Run paid meetups

A workshop, a bar quiz, a tasting, a tour or a session for professionals: if your meetup has costs or takes expertise, set a price. Guests see it on the card before they sign up.

What to put in the meetup description

  • What the price includes
  • How and when guests pay
  • What happens if someone cancels
  • Whether alcohol is served — such meetups are 18+ only

Questions

Before your first paid meetup

Yes. The price is optional: a meetup without a price is marked free.

Set an approximate price — it’s shown with “≈” — or “Price to be confirmed”.

The organizer, under the terms of their meetup. This is set out in the Mates Terms of Use.

Yes. Any user can create a meetup — for example, the owner or a staff member of a venue. Set the place, the price and the terms, and guests see them before they join.

Yes. Turn on approval entry: requests come to you, and the chat opens only for accepted guests.

No. Mates helps people find your meetup and decide whether the group suits them, but it doesn’t guarantee a number of guests.
