Step-by-step guide Payment methods

Which payment methods are accepted

There are five methods: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and, if the organizer provides for it, payment at the entrance. What they are called on the website and in the app, what their availability depends on, what changes with payment at the entrance and what you see if a method is missing.

Payment methods are decided event by event by the organizer, among those supported by Nightify. You see them all on the Payment page, after choosing your tickets. There are no other methods (for example bank transfer, Satispay, Klarna or state vouchers).

The methods, one by one

On the websiteIn the appWhat you need to know
Credit card, prepaid card, or debit cardPay by cardCard schemes shown by the icons: Maestro, American Express, Visa, Mastercard. Your bank may ask for 3D Secure verification. You can save the card for future purchases.

Google PayPay with Google Pay (Android)It only appears if Google Pay is ready on the device or in the browser.
PayPalPay with PayPalIt opens the PayPal window; confirm there.
Payment at the entrancePay at the entranceOnly if the organizer enables it. The reservation is confirmed immediately without any charge, the Payment status remains Unpaid and no tickets with QR are issued: you pay on site.

What determines what you see

  • The organizer: enables the methods for each event; if a method is missing, it is not offered for that event.
  • The device: Apple Pay and Google Pay depend on support from the phone or browser and on having a card set up.
  • The total: for free orders the payment page does not appear.

Security

  • Payments are processed by Stripe over an encrypted connection. Nightify does not store the full card number: saved cards are held by Stripe and Nightify only sees the scheme, the last four digits and the expiry date.
  • The total, including fees and pre-sale rights, is always visible before you confirm.
