For event organizers, one of the biggest challenges in hosting international events is managing payments across different currencies. Participants want to pay in their local currency, while organizers need accuracy and consistency in the backend. Until now, many organizers had to juggle multiple systems or restrict attendees to a single currency, creating friction and frustration.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Multi-Currency Ticketing on Dryfta. With this powerful update, you can now collect payments in more than one currency directly through your event website without additional tools or complicated workarounds.
How Multi-Currency Ticketing Works
Event organizers can now assign a specific currency to each ticket type. For example:
-
Local participants in Southeast Asia can pay in INR, MYR, or AED (depending on your payment gateway).
-
International attendees can register using USD, EUR or any other global currency.
Once a ticket’s currency is set, payments are processed in that same currency, and attendees see prices that make sense for them. The system ensures:
-
Consistency: Orders cannot combine ticket types with different currencies.
-
Accuracy: Add-ons are linked to the currency of the selected ticket, so no mismatched payments occur.
-
Transparency: Ticket and order exports now include a column for currency, giving organizers a clear picture of revenue breakdowns.
-
Compliance: On the backend, Dryfta checks in real time to ensure only payment methods that support the chosen currency are available.
Why This Matters for Event Organizers
1. Expand Your Audience
By offering multiple currencies, you lower the barrier for international participants. Paying in a familiar currency feels more convenient and trustworthy, which can directly improve registration numbers.
2. Simplify Operations
Instead of setting up separate payment portals and manually reconciling foreign payments, you can manage everything from a single Dryfta-powered event platform.
3. Reduce Errors
Currency mismatches can create accounting headaches. Our built-in checks prevent organizers and attendees from making conflicting selections, ensuring clean and reliable financial data.
4. Improve Attendee Experience
For attendees, seeing ticket prices in their local currency reduces confusion and builds trust. This is especially important for regional events in Southeast Asia and the MENA region, where local currency is often preferred.
Real-World Scenarios
-
Academic conferences that attract both local researchers and international scholars can now offer ticket prices in local currency for domestic participants and USD/EUR for global attendees.
-
Nonprofits hosting fundraising events across borders can ensure donors contribute in the currency they are most comfortable with.
-
Corporate events with regional hubs in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe can provide a seamless registration process for employees and partners worldwide.
