Overview
MyFunRun is used by organizers in the US and Canada to create event websites, manage registrations, and bring communities together.
π³ Ecommerce Features: USA & Canada Only
To use MyFunRun’s payment processing features, including:
- Selling tickets
- Accepting donations
- Collecting sponsorships
- Receiving payments from attendees
You must be based in either the United States or Canada.
Requirements for Organizers:
To enable e-commerce functionality, organizers must:
- Have a valid U.S. or Canadian address
- Be operating as an individual or organization located in the U.S. or Canada
- Meet identity verification and compliance requirements
If you do not meet these criteria, you can still use MyEvent to promote your event—but not to collect payments through the platform.
π International Payments: Accepted (with Restrictions)
Even though organizers must be U.S. or Canada-based, MyFunRun does support payments from international attendees.
This means:
- Guests can register or donate from outside North America
- Credit cards issued in other countries are generally accepted
Important Limitations:
Transactions may be restricted or declined if they originate from:
- Sanctioned countries
- High-risk jurisdictions
- Regions restricted by card networks or financial regulations
These restrictions are required to comply with international laws and payment network rules.
βοΈ Why This Policy Exists
MyFunRun operates under strict financial and regulatory requirements, including:
- Banking partner requirements
- Card network rules (e.g., Visa, Mastercard)
- Anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud prevention regulations
Limiting ecommerce access to U.S. and Canadian organizers allows us to:
- Maintain a secure and compliant payment environment
- Provide reliable payouts to organizers
- Reduce fraud and financial risk across the platform
β What If You're Outside the U.S. or Canada?
If you're an international organizer, you can still:
- Use MyFunRun to build and promote your event website
- Direct attendees to an external payment provider (e.g., a local payment processor or ticketing service)
This approach allows you to benefit from MyFunRun's platform while handling payments through a provider in your region.
