Sorry for being a dirty top poster, but ShowClix does a direct
deposit
(usually a weekly scheduled ACH on Wednesdays), they do not offer a check
to be mailed like Eventbrite does:

Steven, I am really grateful for this information.
RH wants us to do a single deposit at the end of the event when all of the monies are
settled. I don't see a way to do this with ShowClix.
During this thread I haven't seen objections to eventbrite which is already
established as an RH vendor/process.
I will follow up with RH finance about using other payment options so we can leverage open
source solutions in the future.
Does anyone have any other concerns or should I go ahead with eventbrite for this year as
it seems to meet our needs?
regards,
bex
