Hi Joanne,
Thanks so much for your interest in our plugins! I’m afraid that at this time, none of our products, including Community Events, include support for paid event submissions. This feature is slated to be added to a future plugin update, though we’re unable to provide an exact timeline for when that update might be available. If you’re interested in keeping up with the progress of this feature, you can always get the latest info and updates from this feature’s page on our UserVoice forum:

You might also consider enlisting the services of a third-party developer to develop this feature for you! We maintain a list of developers on our Knowledgebase who work with our plugins and who are happy to take on projects such as these:

I hope that helps to get you started here! 🙂 Thanks again for reaching out, and please don’t hesitate to follow up if you should have any other questions!
