There is no API and nothing to integrate. You build a checkout page in your browser, share the link, and the money goes to your own bank account. Here is the whole thing.
AxeFee is not a payment gateway you wire into your own site. There is no merchant ID, no API key, no SDK and no developer documentation, because there is nothing to build against. If you can fill in a form on a website, you can set the whole thing up.
Where the confusion usually comes from: you can connect your own Stripe account if you want to accept cards, and Stripe issues API keys. Those keys are Stripe’s, not ours — you paste them once into Settings and never touch them again. That is the only place the words “API key” appear anywhere in the product.
Everything else — forms, pricing, tickets, invoices, receipts, refunds — is done in a browser.
Start to finish, this is about ten minutes. You can stop after step two and still have a working page for a free RSVP or signup sheet.
<iframe> — the dashboard generates the snippet
for you. Nothing to install on your site.Straight into your own bank account. AxeFee never holds, routes or touches your funds at any point — there is no balance, no payout schedule and no waiting period.
That is the part most people are surprised by, because ticketing platforms usually work the other way round: they collect the money, hold it until after your event, and pay you some days later, sometimes with a percentage held back in reserve.
If you are paying a venue deposit or a caterer before the event, that difference matters more than the fee does. With AxeFee the money from ticket one is in your account before you sell ticket two.
Nothing you have to do by hand.
Exports are built in — a spreadsheet view of every submission with CSV and Excel download, and copy-to-clipboard for pasting into your own sheet.
No percentage fees on any plan, and nothing is charged upfront.
Free submissions never count against anything. A volunteer signup sheet, a free RSVP or an all-$0 form is unlimited on every plan, including the free one.
No. There is no public API, no API key, no merchant ID and no developer documentation. Nothing about the setup requires writing code.
No. Everything is done in a browser. If you want the
checkout on your own website, the dashboard gives you a ready-made
<iframe> snippet to paste in — that is the most technical it gets.
No. Stripe is optional and only needed if you want to accept cards as well. If you do connect it, it is your Stripe account — card money goes to you directly, and AxeFee takes no cut of it.
Never. Funds go bank to bank, or through your own Stripe account. There is no AxeFee balance and no payout schedule, which is also why there is nothing to wait for.
Not any more — that was retired and replaced with something better. Every form has a built-in spreadsheet view of its submissions, with CSV and Excel export and copy-for-Sheets, available on every plan including the free one. No Drive permissions to grant and nothing to keep connected.
About ten minutes to a shareable checkout page. A free RSVP or signup sheet is faster, because there is no payment step to connect at all.
Free forever for your first 25 payments a month. No card required.
