How to manage corporate-level payment solutions and billing information

Allow all hubs to create paid events and add fundraisers

Account owners or admins can select whether or not hubs under the account can create paid events or not, in addition to enabling the fundraising feature for use in events. If hubs can create paid events, then account owners and admins can select whether hubs must use the payment solution and billing address listed in the corporate account or whether they can designate their own payment solution and billing address.

  1. Sign in to Zoom Events.
  2. At the top of the left navigation menu, click the Account tab.
  3. In the navigation menu, click Billing.
  4. Click the Hub Control tab.
  5. (Optional) Under Settings, click the Allow all hubs to create paid events toggle to enable it.
    The Hub List section will appear.
  6. (Optional) Under Hub List and to the right of the hub you want to manage, click the dropdown menu:
    • Allow Hub to Add Billing Info: Select to allow hubs to add a payment solution and input a billing address that is different from the corporate account.
    • Use Corporate Billing Info: Select to require a hub to use the payment solution, billing address, and tax information (if applicable) that are listed under the corporate account.
      Note: When selected, the Billing Information and Cancellation Policy tabs will be removed from the hub's navigation menu of affected hubs.
  7. (Optional) Under Setting, click the Allow all hubs to add fundraising in future events toggle to enable it.
    When enabled, adding fundraisers will be allowed and the fundraising section will appear in the Event Configuration tab when creating a multiple sessions event, and the Event Profile section when creating a recurring series event.
    Note: Enabling or disabling the toggle will affect existing hubs and events only, and will have no effect on hubs and events that are created after enabling or disabling the toggle.

If a hub is allowed to create paid events, the account owner, admin, or hub owner will be able to set a payment solution and billing address that is different from what is listed under the corporate-level account. A hub must have a payment solution linked to it—either the payment solution linked at the corporate-level account or the hub's own payment solution—before it is able to create paid events.

  1. Click Unlink.
  2. Select the payment solution you want to add:
    • Click Link New Account to add a new Stripe payment account.
    • Click Link New Account to add a new PayPal payment account.

If a payment solution set at the corporate level is not linked to the hub, under Stripe or PayPal:

  1. Click Use Corporate Account to use the payment solution listed under the corporate-level account.
  2. Under Stripe or PayPal, click Link New Account to add a new Stripe or PayPal payment solution.
