# How do I get paid for tickets?

Category: Tickets and checkout

Ticket money goes to your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect, on your Stripe payout schedule. Konecto never holds it.

Konecto checkout runs on Stripe Connect. When a buyer pays, the payment is made to your Stripe account and Konecto takes its ticket fee as a separate application fee.

- Payouts follow your Stripe account's schedule.
- Refunds are made from the same Stripe account.
- Free events do not need Stripe at all.
