Common questions

Does a ticket or other purchase make someone a member?

No. Only products marked as membership create membership. Tickets and goods from the same organization do not.

What happens if a member pays by invoice?

The membership is registered when the payment is registered, not when the invoice is sent.

Can members pay with Vipps?

Yes, as an add-on. Today the site receives the payment and settles with each organization by agreement, with a sales report. Payment straight into an organization’s own Vipps account is in development.

Do you take a share of the fees?

No. UT charges no transaction fee. The payment provider’s own charges apply separately.

What if we refund a fee?

A full refund ends the membership. A paid renewal extends it.
