Hi Jess,
Thanks for checking out Community Events! There is not currently a way to charge users for submitting events, although this is a feature we are working on for a future release. I would recommend casting your vote on the feature request so that you can stay up to date on progress. This also helps us determine user interest in new features and help guide future development efforts.
Currently, Community Events does have the option to require users to be logged into your site to submit an event, so you might look into using a membership plugin in conjunction with Community Events. This will still not allow you to charge user on event submission, but you could use a plugin like this to charge for site membership in general.
If you’re interested in allowing users to sell tickets on the events they add to your site, Community Tickets will let you collect fees on ticket sales. You can read more about how this and other Community Tickets features work here.
We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied with the products, so feel free to test them out! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Jennifer
