Before an organiser can mark you as paid, it helps for them to know where you actually want to be paid. That is all a payment method on EventMann is — a record of your preference, not a wallet or a connected bank account that moves money automatically.
Something worth understanding up front
EventMann does not transfer your shift pay itself. Marking a payroll period Paid is the organiser confirming they have already paid you, by whatever method you have on file, outside the platform — a real bank transfer, a PayPal payment, a cheque, or cash in hand. Adding a method here does not trigger anything automatically; it just tells the organiser what you use.
How to add one
- Go to Payment Methods in the sidebar.
- Pick a type: Bank Transfer, PayPal, Check, or Cash.
- For bank transfer, enter the account holder name and account number (routing number optional). For PayPal, enter the email address.
- Submit — your first method becomes the default automatically; add more later and switch the default whenever you like.
Good to know
- You can have more than one method on file and switch which one is default at any time — this does not affect payroll lines that already exist, only how the organiser knows to pay you going forward.
- Bank and PayPal details are encrypted at rest; the app only ever displays a masked account number back to you.
- There is no in-place edit — if a detail changes (new account, new email), delete the old method and add the corrected one.
- Nothing about your payment method affects whether you can apply to volunteer roles; it only matters once a role turns into an actual pay line.
Troubleshooting
- I haven't been paid yet even though I added a method — adding a method does not by itself generate or advance any payroll. See Understanding Your Pay for how a shift actually becomes a paid line.
- Do I need this before I can volunteer? — no. It only matters for shifts that end up with a pay line; unpaid volunteer shifts do not need a payment method.
