# Create an event

Creating paid and free events on Movemint

## About Events on Movemint

All of Movemint's event creation and organizing tools are free for organizers, no matter your event. Organizers can create two types of events on Movemint: free and paid.

Free and paid events have the same functions and tools except that free events cannot handle merchandise sales, payment collection for registrations, or donations.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Follow the Flow

Movemint makes it easy to set up your event by walking you through the creation process step-by-step in two phases.

#### Phase 1: Cover the basics

You'll be asked about basic information like the event name, date, location, and event cover photo.

#### Phase 2: Registration details

Additionally, you'll be presented with more advanced optional controls around sub-events, pricing, and participants. If you're unsure about some information, your progress is saved at every step for you to come back later.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a Payment Account

Organizers making a paid event will need to set up a Payment Account via Stripe to make their event "live". Information needed to set up include professional, public, and payout details.

<figure><img src="https://2502557874-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVsmrHhuOjHWJO77tU1R8%2Fuploads%2FewveffHzpC83R3aaFRyG%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=2c8b363a-fec0-41a2-9e33-552288c6b112" alt=""><figcaption><p>Creating a Payment Account on Movemint with Stripe</p></figcaption></figure>

Anyone can create a free event on Movemint without a Stripe account.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Publishing Your Event

After completing the event creation flow, your event is currently set as a draft, but it's ready to go live.&#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://2502557874-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVsmrHhuOjHWJO77tU1R8%2Fuploads%2FDLi9PQmI591GM2DgXFuU%2FScreenshot%202025-06-19%20at%202.56.31%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=c130093c-71c4-43ef-952a-861522d68554" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Here's what's next:

* [Preview your public event page](/movemint-docs/getting-started/manage-and-preview-an-event.md#how-to-preview-the-event-page)
* See all of Movemint's organizer tools on your [event admin page](/movemint-docs/organizer-dashboard/events/event-admin.md)
* Set up time to [chat with Movemint](https://calendly.com/rebecca-movemint/30min)

If you leave the event creation flow before completing, your progress will be saved with the "Onboarding" status in [Events](/movemint-docs/organizer-dashboard/events.md#events-dashboard).

<figure><img src="https://2502557874-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVsmrHhuOjHWJO77tU1R8%2Fuploads%2FxfLkxtygoyvJcOTBdBEV%2FScreenshot%202025-12-26%20at%203.08.51%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=01d7f126-d4b4-449a-b979-0ccfe01c8d5f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Once the flow has been completed, and you've double-checked all details by previewing your event,  tap "Publish" to make your event "Live".\
\
If you want to make your event "Live, but not listed on the Movemint home page, choose to make your event "Unlisted".&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set Up Event Add-Ons

There's more customization that you can do to your event after you've completed the basic set up, such as adding media, course maps, sponsors, and more.&#x20;

Explore more in [Event Admin](/movemint-docs/organizer-dashboard/events/event-admin.md).
