We've built the ability to add membership dues & event fees to both
your group and individual events. When you're editing your group
details, you can specify that your group has "membership dues of $10
yearly" or a "suggested donation of $1 per month". Similarly, you can
let everyone know that an event has "door fee of $2, to cover room
rental", etc. It's pretty flexible, so you can really make the fees be
whatever you want.
Once you've specified a fee and how you want the funds sent to you, members are able to send you funds directly using PayPal. Every group and event with a fee will have a "pay organizer with PayPal" button on its respective about page.
You need to enable PayPal before we put up the “pay now with PayPal” button. It’s easy – just go to the Payments Received section of your Account page. In the "Your PayPal account" section, enter your PayPal email address and click "Submit."
From here you just need to put in your PayPal email address and agree to our terms of service. This assumes you have a PayPal account, of course, but they're really easy to setup. ( Here's the PayPal FAQ, if you'd like to know more.)
Once you've set this up, you're members will be able to pay money directly to your PayPal account. When your members send money to your account, PayPal sends you an e-mail specifying the username of each member who's paid and how much they paid, and for what event (or membership fee) they paid... In the future, we plan to build membership lists that show you who has and has not paid for a given group/event, but we don't have that capability yet.
