Organizing a fan award, talent competition, or public poll is a true labor of love. It takes immense time, energy, and resources to bring communities together and celebrate the talent that matters most.

At Izivote, we provide the online voting platform you need to run secure, beautiful, and highly engaging campaigns so you can focus on what you do best: hosting a spectacular event. We also understand that sustaining these competitions requires capital. That is why we thoughtfully redesigned our paid voting system to help you protect the integrity of your poll while seamlessly funding your future events.

Here is how our upgraded platform helps organizers run fair competitions and monetize online polls effortlessly:

Protect Poll Integrity: A Powerful Shield Against Spam

For many event organizers, the primary benefit of paid voting isn’t just fundraising. It is about guaranteeing a fair, transparent competition.

Paid voting is one of the most effective anti-spam measures available for public polls. While bad actors can easily generate fake email addresses, faking a credit card transaction is incredibly difficult.

By applying a micro-fee per vote, you introduce an ultimate security measure that ensures a level playing field for all participants. As a bonus, the revenue generated helps cover your event costs.

Frictionless Operations: Direct Payouts with Stripe Integration

You have enough on your plate without having to chase down your funds. In the past, we required manual payout requests and approval wait times. We have removed the middleman entirely.

By connecting your Stripe account directly to Izivote, every single vote payment flows straight to you:

  • No manual requests: Payments move automatically.
  • No wait times: Stripe deposits earnings directly into your bank on your schedule.
  • Total control: Track transactions, payouts, and transparent fee breakdowns securely in your organizer dashboard.

Note: Organizers in select regions without Stripe support may still access paid voting via manual payouts. Please review our list of supported regions.

A Global Voting Platform: Accept Payments Anywhere

Your audience shouldn’t be limited by geography. With Izivote, you can set a specific currency for each individual vote page directly from your dashboard.

Supporters from anywhere in the world can vote for their favorites using their local credit card, and the payment is processed at the exact amount and currency you set. Furthermore, if a payment is ever refunded or disputed, our automated system instantly removes the tied votes to keep your leaderboard accurate without requiring any manual cleanup.

A Seamless, Trustworthy Experience for Voters

A successful campaign relies on happy supporters, so we optimized our checkout for a fast and confident voting experience. Voters can quickly back their favorites using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or localized credit cards. Because there are zero hidden fees, voters never experience surprise charges at checkout, keeping drop-off rates incredibly low.

Once a payment clears, votes are registered instantly and the leaderboard updates in real time, giving your community immediate confirmation of their impact.

Keep More Revenue: Transparent Pricing & Low Fees

We fundamentally believe that the financial support generated by your community belongs to you. To maximize your event’s take-home revenue, we simplified our pricing structure to just 10% of each vote payment.

Because you process payments through your own connected Stripe account, you simply pay Stripe’s standard processing fees directly. There are no hidden platform transaction costs. Your voters will always pay exactly the price you set, with zero surprise checkout fees to deter them from participating.
