The Old Way
- "Hey can everyone Venmo me $30?"
- Setting up a GoFundMe for a birthday

- Tracking who paid in a spreadsheet

How It Works
Three steps to stress-free contributions
Enable Gift Fund
Toggle on gift contributions when creating your event. Choose online, cash, or bank transfer.
Guests Choose Their Amount
When guests RSVP, they see the option to contribute. Suggested amounts or custom — their choice.
You Receive 100%
The full gift amount goes to you. Processing fees are paid by the guest, not the host.
Three Ways Guests Can Contribute

Online Payment
Guests pay securely via Stripe — credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Instant confirmation.
Cash Welcome
Prefer cash? Guests see a friendly message that cash contributions are welcome at the event.
Bank Transfer
Display your bank details for direct transfers. Guests send money on their own schedule.
Built for Real Hosts
Completely Optional

Host Gets Full Amount

Questions?
Are contributions mandatory for guests?
No. Contributions are always optional. Guests can RSVP without contributing anything.
When do I receive the money?
Online contributions are transferred to your bank within 2 business days via Stripe.
Do I have to pay any fees?
No. The guest covers the processing fee on online payments. Cash and bank transfer options are completely free.
Can guests choose how much to give?
Yes. You can set suggested amounts or let guests enter any amount they like.
Is it secure?
Online payments are processed by Stripe, which handles billions in payments annually. We never see or store card details.
Can I use this for a paid event instead?
Absolutely. If you want every guest to pay a set amount, use ticket pricing instead. Invyt supports both models.
