The service fee receipt of a reservation

For every Confirmed order with fees charged to the fan, Nightify issues a PDF receipt of the service fees including VAT, which the fan can download from their account and you from the Reservation detail with Download service fee receipt. When it exists, what it contains entry by entry, what it does not document and what happens with refunds and absorbed fees.

The service fee receipt is the document Nightify issues for the service fees of an order. It does not cover the ticket price or the pre-sale rights, which follow your own documentation. It can be downloaded both by the fan, from their account, and by you from the detail of the reservation.

At a glance

  • Where: Reservation detailPayment summary box → Service fee receipt row → Download service fee receipt link.
  • Permissions: View organization reservation details.
  • When it exists: a Confirmed order, fees charged to the fan greater than zero and a PDF already generated by the system.
  • Who issues it: Nightify; at the bottom of the document: … issues this receipt for the service fees applied to reservation …. with the name of the platform and the order code.

Step by step

  1. Open the reservation. From Reservation management, from the Reservations report or from the Customer details page click the row of the order.
  2. Find the row. In the Payment summary box, below Total, look for Service fee receipt. What you see: the Download service fee receipt link; if the row is missing, the order has no receipt (see below).
  3. Download. Click Download service fee receipt. Result: the PDF opens in a new tab.

What the PDF contains

EntryWhat it containsNotes
The Receipt headerReceipt # with the number and Receipt date.
To: / From:The fan’s details and Nightify’s details with the company address.The seller is always Nightify, not the organizer.
Purchase summaryEvent, Location, Event date, Purchase date, then the Service, Quantity, Amount rows for the titles of the order.It serves to identify the order; the amounts of the titles are not the subject of the receipt.
Service detailsA table with Subject, VAT rate and Amount; the entry is Ticket issuance service fees.The default rate is 22%, extracted from the amount paid; it is configurable by the platform.
TotalsService fees, VAT, Receipt total.The Receipt total matches the Service fees line of the fan’s summary.
Closing noteThis document refers to the service fees applied to the order. Access tickets follow the fiscal documentation required by applicable law.

What it is not

  • It is not the invoice or the receipt of the ticket: the tax documentation of the access title (for example the ticket with the SIAE fiscal seal) remains the organizer’s responsibility, and the organizer answers customer requests about the ticket price.
  • It does not include the pre-sale rights, which are an amount of yours, nor the absorbed fees, which are not paid by the fan.

What happens next

  • The PDF is generated by the system asynchronously after the order is confirmed: the link appears in the Reservation detail only once the file is ready.
  • The fan finds the same link in their own Reservation detail, in the Reservation summary section, even after the event.
