Version 1.0

voteMe.live is operated out of Ghana and processes payments through Paystack. We never share voter details with organizers beyond what the event's registration settings authorize. Tickets are signed with a rotatable HMAC key so a compromised scanner cannot forge entries. Read more in our privacy policy and how it works.

Pricing

Percentage-based. No tiers. No surprises.

You pay nothing until money moves. When it does, we take a small percentage and the rest settles to you through Paystack. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-seat charge.

The rule of thumb

voteMe keeps 10% of what you charge for paid voting, 5% of what you charge for ticketing and paid nominations, and 0% of anything free. Paystack processing fees are absorbed by the platform β€” your payout is clean. That is every pricing decision made.

By revenue stream

What each stream costs β€” at a glance.

Every event on voteMe can use one or more of these streams. The columns below show the fee structure and what you get on each.

Paystack processing fees are absorbed by the platform and included in the shares above. Your payout is exactly what this calculator shows.

On Paystack fees

We absorb Paystack’s processing cost. You don’t.

This is the single most-asked question on our pricing β€” so we answer it plainly.

Paystack charges a processing fee on every transaction β€” typically around 1.95% on mobile money and 2.9% on cards for Ghanaian accounts. That cost comes out of our platform share entirely. It does not touch your payout.

What you see in the calculator and in your transaction ledger is what you receive. Our platform fee (10% on paid votes, 5% on tickets and nominations) is the total we take. Paystack's cut is our problem to absorb, not yours to calculate.

You can verify this by comparing your voteMe transaction ledger against your Paystack settlement report β€” the numbers your subaccount receives will match the calculator exactly.

Pricing FAQ

The money questions organizers actually ask.

No. Paystack processing fees are absorbed entirely by the platform β€” they come out of our share, not yours. The percentage you see on the pricing page is what we take in total. Your payout is clean.

Simple pricing, real math

Run the calculator. Start the event.

You pay nothing at signup. We only charge when money flows through the platform. Your Paystack subaccount gets provisioned at event creation and handles the rest.
