Automate payments and get traders paid fast. Trusted by leading festivals.
Running a large event is a complex puzzle. There are many moving parts, and payments often cause the most stress. Handling commissions, fees, and splitting revenue between traders and organisers is where things can fall apart... fast. With Dines’ Revenue Splits System, that chaos becomes a thing of the past. We’ve pioneered a system that makes revenue splits effortless, reliable, and transparent - removing the biggest headaches from your event planning.
Accuracy and speed matter when it comes to payments. Dines is trusted by the UK’s largest festivals to handle their revenue splits because our system is built to avoid costly mistakes and ensure payments happen on time. We’ve helped organisers of major festivals, food markets, and events reduce their stress by automating the entire process. From setting up splits to paying out traders and handling disputes, Dines takes care of it all.
Here’s what makes Dines the best solution for managing your event’s payments:
You see exactly what’s happening with your revenue. Every deduction, fee, and commission is clear right from the start.
What usually takes weeks, we do in days. Traders are paid promptly, keeping everyone happy and avoiding frustration
When disagreements arise, we can pause payouts until everything is resolved, ensuring fairness for everyone involved.
Ever had an event go smoothly, only to then be filled with dread when it’s time to reconcile payments? Dines removes that anxiety, letting you finish your event on a high note.
Dines simplifies the most complicated part of your event: revenue splits. Before your event, you enter the details; commission rates, electricity or water charges, or any agreed fees. During the event, you have real-time access to trader sales data, so you can track everything as it happens.
After the event, Dines steps in to complete the process. By Friday of the same week, all revenue is reconciled, split, and paid out. Funds are held securely in Stripe, ensuring complete transparency and control. Whether payments go to traders, organisers, or sponsors, everything is handled quickly and fairly. If there’s a dispute, no problem - our system pauses payments until it’s resolved.
Event success depends on happy traders. When your traders are paid quickly and accurately, it builds trust and strengthens relationships for future events. With Dines, traders have full visibility into their earnings and deductions. They get paid fast, with no surprises. This keeps your traders loyal and makes planning next year’s event much easier. A stable, happy group of traders removes a huge hassle from event planning.
Dines can manage a range of splits, from commissions and fixed utility fees to special charges for brands or sponsors. Common examples include:
Automatically charge traders a percentage of either gross or net total sales or charge fixed pitch fees.
Charge deductions for power, water, or equipment or any other form of fixed fees on a one-time or recurring basis.
Seamlessly manage the charge and release of deposits for traders and refunds for event vouchers redeemed at traders.
Payment issues can ruin an event’s reputation. Traders who don’t get paid on time lose trust, and organisers are left dealing with unhappy partners. Dines saves you that headache by ensuring every payment is accurate, on time, and fully secure. We’re not just about speed - we’re about getting it right, every time. Our system adds a level of rigour and security that most event organisers don’t have. We ensure the right people get paid, disputes are managed fairly, and nothing is left to chance.
Dines handles your event’s most complicated challenge - revenue splits - with ease. From ensuring traders are paid on time to preventing costly mistakes, our system does the heavy lifting so you don’t have to. The UK's biggest festivals know that Dines brings speed, accuracy, and complete transparency to every transaction. When payments are done right, your event runs smoothly, and you can focus on delivering a great experience for all.
