One of the advanced capabilities of the Stitch platform is the ability for organizers to be able to accept payments from attendees for the events and activities they organize.
The system is designed to protect organizers from being forced to take on the risk of booking a venue that requires advance payment without being certain that everyone who clicks the "Attend" button is going to pay, while at the same time protecting attendees by ensuring that payments are made via credit card, and refund policies are clear and transparent.
