Set your tiers
Price your author and vendor tables up front. A deposit lets authors lock in a table now and pay the rest later.
Beventi for organizers
Event management built for book signings
No invoices to write, no schedule to retype and fewer questions at the door. Authors pay when they book, and readers find what's on and where on their phone.

Author and vendor tables
No more chasing table fees
Set your tiers once and invite authors and vendors by email. They pick a table, accept your terms and pay online, and you know exactly who has paid and who still owes.
The old way
On Beventi
An invoice to write for every table
Authors pay online when they bookA spreadsheet of who paid what
Who has paid and who owes, at a glanceBalances to chase, email after email
A reminder in a click, with no email to writeBank transfers with no name on them
Authors get a payment reference, so you know who sent itInvite authors, and they book
Invite your whole list at once, and authors do the rest. They agree to your terms as they book, with no signatures to collect.
Know exactly who has paid
No spreadsheet to keep up. Online payments update the booking on their own, and you add transfers and cash in the same place.
Table fees come in as authors and vendors book, not in a scramble the week before your event.
Payments go straight to your own payment account. Beventi never holds your money.
And everything after the tables are sold
Your schedule, venue maps and reader updates live in the same place as your tables, and on your readers' phones on the day.
Event schedule
Your spreadsheet becomes the live schedule
Move sessions around until the day works, then publish. Readers see it on your event page, on your website and on their phone.
- Start from the spreadsheet you already have, no retyping
- Catch double-booked rooms and authors before readers do
- Keep it private while you build, then go live when you choose
- No new PDF to post every time a session moves
Venue maps
Readers go straight to the author they came to see
Upload the floor plan and seating chart you already have, then pin each room, so readers know whose table is where.
- Beventi suggests your room pins, so setup is quick
- Pin registration and the restrooms too, so fewer people ask
- Tables moved? Swap in the new chart and keep your pins
On the day
Everything readers need, on their phone
Readers carry the whole day in their pocket, so fewer people stop you to ask where Hall B is.
Offline mode
The schedule still works when the signal doesn’t
Convention centers and hotel ballrooms are often dead zones. In the Beventi app, your schedule and venue maps keep working offline.
- Readers get to their sessions instead of hunting for signal
- Your authors don't lose readers to a dead zone
- Skip the paper backup you'd print just in case
Broadcasts
Plans change. Readers hear it from you.
When the date, location, schedule or maps change, email everyone going or with an order. Important event news only, never marketing.
- The email starts with what changed, not a blank page
- Fewer “Is the schedule out yet?” messages in your inbox
- New authors and closing preorders are announced for you
Insight
Watch interest build before the doors open
Your event page counts every view, and Live Analytics shows launch day as it happens.
- Line up the jumps in interest with your announcements
- Know where your readers are, and promote in the right places
- Spot the authors who draw readers, and invite them back
Less event admin, more time for your authors and readers.

Questions organizers ask
Listing your event is free, and there is nothing to pay monthly. When an author or vendor pays for a table through Beventi, the Beventi fee is 1.25% of that payment, plus standard processing by your payment provider. Payments you record yourself, like a bank transfer or cash, carry no Beventi fee.
Authors pay the table price you set. The Beventi fee and payment processing come out of each payment before it reaches you, so if you want authors to cover them, build them into your table price.
As authors pay. Payments go straight to the payment account you connect, such as Stripe or PayPal, and Beventi never holds your money. Payout timing follows your payment provider.
Yes. Set a deposit on any tier. Authors pay the deposit to book, pay the balance when they are ready, and you can send a payment reminder in one click.
Yes, if you allow it on a tier. Authors get a payment reference, and you record the transfer on their booking when it arrives.
USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD or NZD, set per tier.
Yes. Add the bookings you already have, record the payments you have received, then invite the rest of your authors and vendors through Beventi.
Probably not. More than 3,700 authors have already sold on Beventi, and authors book your table from the same account they use for their preorders.
Yes. Embed your live schedule on Squarespace, Wix or WordPress, or link to it from Canva, Linktree or Facebook. When you publish a change, your site shows it too.
When the date, location, schedule or maps change, Beventi lists the changes for you. Review them and send one email to everyone going or with an order, now or at a time you pick. Updates are for important event news only, never marketing.
Readers who use the Beventi app still have your schedule and venue maps, signal or not, so they can find their sessions and their favorite authors. Your event page needs a connection, so it is worth reminding readers to get the app before the day.
Many signing events are listed on Beventi before their organizer joins. Search for your event in the event manager and claim it with your role and your official event email. Once your claim is approved, you run the listing, your tables and your schedule yourself.
