Packdoor vs Ticket Tailor
Ticket Tailor is a well-liked ticketing tool with low fees. Packdoor adds a full website, a back office and Canadian tax and French built in.
Fees on a $25.00 ticket
What the buyer pays on top of the ticket price, from each company's own published fees. Ticket Tailor lists $1.00 per ticket pay-as-you-go (from $0.38 with prepaid credits) (CAD, before tax), plus card processing from Stripe at 2.9% + $0.30 on its Canadian example.
| Platform | Fee on one ticket | Buyer pays |
|---|---|---|
| Packdoor Start | $2.74 | $28.10 |
| Packdoor Grow | $2.04 | $27.31 |
| Packdoor Pro | $1.47 | $26.66 |
| Ticket Tailor | $2.03 | $27.03 |
Fees are shown before any tax on them, with the buyer paying the fee. Eventbrite's figure includes its 2.9% card processing; Ticket Tailor's includes Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 because Ticket Tailor does not process cards itself. Packdoor's fee includes card processing. Fees change: check the company's own page.

Yes. Packdoor's fee includes card processing for organizers who sign up through Packdoor, so there is no separate card fee to add.
Can I bring my past events from Ticket Tailor?
Packdoor can bring past events in as past-event pages; on Pro we do the import for you. Ticket Tailor stays a one-time history import, not a live channel.
