BY ORGANIZATION
Event settlement for groups with several legal entities
Common challenges
One brand, several companies
Parent, chapters, and country entities all sell tickets under one programme — mixing their bank accounts is an audit problem waiting to happen.
Currency and entity have to match
A Singapore dollar ticket should not land in a UK entity's Stripe account by accident.
Agencies running client events
The agency operates the desk; the client's entity must still be merchant of record for that event's money.
What to look for in multi-entity event settlement
When several companies in a group, or several clients, sell tickets, the question is not only how attendees pay but which company receives the money. Six checks.
- 01
Each entity connects its own account
Run each legal entity as its own bagevent organization, connected to that entity's own Stripe account. bagevent never holds the funds, so there is no platform balance to pay out or reconcile.
- 02
One login across entities
The same person can belong to several organizations and switch between them, so the team does not need a separate login per company.
- 03
The seller on record is the right company
Because each sale runs through that entity's own Stripe account, that entity — not bagevent — is the merchant of record for it.
- 04
Reports that reconcile per entity
Each organization's reports cover its own events and split revenue by ticket type and currency, so each entity reconciles against its own Stripe account.
- 05
Refunds from the same account
A full or partial refund goes back through the original payment method, from the same Stripe account that took the payment, and reporting updates by itself.
- 06
Limits stated up front
One Stripe account per organization. Each organization has its own plan, and bagevent takes 0% of ticket sales on every plan.
Tools for multi-entity settlement
Each organization connects one Stripe account; every event it runs settles there, with that entity as merchant of record.
Choose the organization when you create an event, and price the event in the currency that entity sells in.
Each organization reports on its own events, by ticket type and currency, so each set of books closes on its own.
The same door experience for attendees and the same kit for crews, whichever entity sold the ticket.

Frequently asked questions
One login can, one organization cannot. Each bagevent organization connects exactly one Stripe account, so each legal entity gets its own organization and its own Stripe account. Your login belongs to all of them: you pick the organization when you create an event and switch between them without signing out.
It means ticket revenue is paid to the legal entity that sold the ticket, into that entity's own payment account, instead of forcing every sale through one company. In bagevent that is one organization per entity, each paid into its own Stripe account.
There is no set limit: each entity is its own organization, with its own Stripe account and its own plan. On Enterprise, our team can link several organizations into an organization group with shared speaker and sponsor libraries.
No. An event belongs to one organization and all of its ticket revenue settles to that organization's Stripe account. If two entities sell places at the same programme, run an event under each.
No. bagevent charges 0% platform fee on every plan. You connect your own Stripe account and keep the ticket revenue.
Related but not the same. The currency is set per event and is what attendees pay in. The entity is the organization that owns the event and receives the money. You often need both on international programmes.
