# Events

> Add and manage individual show dates within your tour.

**Events** are the individual show dates that make up a tour. Each event represents a single performance at a specific venue, with its own tax rules, payment splits, and operational settings.

## Creating an event

<Steps>
  ### Go to Tour Info

  From the sidebar, navigate to your current tour's info page.

  ### Add an event

  Click **Add Event** and fill in the details:

  * **Venue name** and address
  * **Date** and **start/end times**
  * **Capacity** (optional, used for per-head calculations)

  ### Configure event settings

  After creating the event, configure tax and payment settings specific to that venue.
</Steps>

## Event settings

### Tax configuration

Each event can have its own tax settings, which is important since tax rates vary by city and state:

| Setting            | Description                                                                 |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Tax method**     | **Inclusive** (tax included in price) or **On top** (tax added at checkout) |
| **Tax rate**       | The percentage applied to taxable items                                     |
| **Tax categories** | Different rates for different product categories, if needed                 |

<Warning>Make sure to verify tax rates for each venue's jurisdiction. Incorrect tax configuration can lead to compliance issues.</Warning>

### Payment splits

If a venue takes a percentage of merch sales, configure **payment splits** at the event level:

* **Simple split** — A single percentage split between artist and venue
* **Advanced split** — Separate split rates for hard goods (apparel, accessories) and soft goods (posters, stickers)

### Tip splits

Configure how tips are divided:

* **Artist share** — Percentage of tips going to the artist
* **Staff share** — Percentage of tips going to the merch staff

### Venue Stripe Connect

For events where the venue processes their own payments, you can connect a **venue-level Stripe account**. This enables direct deposits to the venue for their share of sales.

## Bulk operations

When managing tours with many dates, you can:

* **Bulk create** events by importing a list of dates and venues
* **Bulk delete** events that have been cancelled
* **Copy settings** from one event to apply tax/split configuration to others

## Event day workflow

On show day, here's the typical flow:

<Steps>
  ### Staff check in

  Merch staff open the POS app and select the **event** and their assigned **booth**.

  ### Count in

  Run a **count-in** to record starting inventory for the booth. This is critical for accurate end-of-night reconciliation.

  ### Sell

  Process transactions through the POS throughout the show.

  ### Count out

  At the end of the night, run a **count-out** to record remaining inventory and reconcile sales.

  ### Settle

  Review the event's transactions, tips, and cash drawer totals in the dashboard.
