Townscript

Townscript works well as a self-service registration shortlist for Indian events needing ticket types, custom questions and discounts. Its pricing needs more care than a headline percentage: the help example separates platform, gateway, buyer and tax components.

Free event creation; Indian help example uses 1.99% + ₹10 platform fee, gateway and buyer fees, with GST on fees

Honest Limitations

Sold ticket prices are locked

Current event-creation help says a paid ticket type's price cannot be changed after its first sale; hide it and create a new type instead.

Payout timing depends on account status

January 2026 guidance says new organizers generally receive weekly payouts and may wait up to a week initially. Single-transaction accounts and bank holidays need special attention.

Fee wording needs a worked checkout

The September 2023 fee article has inconsistent introductory wording. Its detailed ₹1,000 example is clearer, but should be confirmed against your actual account.

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! The published example adds gateway, buyer and GST amounts to the platform component.
  • ! Choosing organizer absorption changes the payout and buyer total; inspect the checkout preview.
  • ! The 2023 guide also describes a 1% ticket-price deduction for GST-registered organizers; confirm current withholding, refund and chargeback terms.

Townscript covers the practical registration work: ticket windows, quantities, custom forms and discounts can be configured by the organizer. Exported attendee details also make it possible to move follow-up work into another system.

Model the full payment flow before opening sales. Confirm current fees, test the buyer and organizer totals, and remember that a paid ticket type’s price becomes locked after its first sale.
