Frequently asked questions
What is PartyDey?
PartyDey is an event operations platform that connects custom event information, payments or contributions, verified submissions, guest records, analytics, team workflows, and optional access control.
Is PartyDey only for weddings and parties?
No. PartyDey can be used for conferences, trainings, school events, religious events, alumni gatherings, fundraisers, community events, paid-access experiences, and other hosted events.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. PartyDey public event pages and guest flows are available on the web, so a native app download is not required to use an event link.
Can PartyDey replace Google Forms for an event?
For many event workflows, yes. PartyDey can collect custom information and keep it tied to payment state, submissions, analytics, and guest operations in the same event workflow.
Does PartyDey support conditional questions?
Yes. Event fields can use visibility conditions so relevant follow-up questions appear based on earlier answers.
Can guests upload a file or image?
Yes. PartyDey custom forms support file-upload and image-upload fields.
Can PartyDey keep old form submissions understandable after the form changes?
Yes. PartyDey includes form versioning and change-impact handling so structural updates can be separated from historical submissions.
Does PartyDey support group payments?
Yes. PartyDey includes group payment preparation, initiation, and confirmation flows with beneficiary handling. When guests bear transaction charges, a group checkout receives one charge based on the combined group amount rather than one charge per beneficiary.
Who pays PartyDey transaction charges?
The event host chooses. A host can absorb the transaction charge so guests pay only the event amount, or choose guest-paid charges. Guest-paid checkouts show the event amount, transaction charge, and total before payment begins.
Does PartyDey give hosts instant access to every payment?
No universal instant-settlement promise is made. PartyDey uses Paystack payment and settlement infrastructure, and settlement follows the configured provider flow and timelines.
What if a payment succeeds on Paystack but the PartyDey flow is interrupted?
PartyDey includes payment recovery that can verify a valid provider reference and restore the relevant payment journey after an interrupted checkout or sync. A dedicated recovery guide explains what guests and hosts should do before attempting a second payment.
Can multiple people manage the same PartyDey operation?
Yes. PartyDey supports host workspaces, team invitations, roles, and controlled permissions.
Does PartyDey support QR event access?
PartyDey supports optional event access workflows, including QR and digital access operations where a host enables access control.
Does PartyDey support promo codes?
Yes. Current PartyDey event payment flows include promo-code management and application.
Can PartyDey export submissions?
Yes. PartyDey includes event submission export options and analytics for structured answers.
