# Sponsorships

> View and manage event sponsorships, track payments, and configure sponsorship tiers

The **Sponsorships** tab in the Event Management dashboard lets you manage all sponsorship activity for your event. Access it from the [Event Management Overview](/event-management/overview) by clicking the **Sponsorships** tab.

## Viewing event sponsors

The sponsorships page displays all companies that have sponsored your event. Each entry shows:

| Field              | Description                                                                 |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Company name**   | The sponsoring company's name and logo                                      |
| **Tier**           | The sponsorship level selected (Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze) |
| **Payment status** | Current payment state (Pending, Paid, or Cancelled)                         |
| **Amount**         | The sponsorship dollar amount                                               |

## Sponsorship tiers

Events support up to five sponsorship tiers, each with configurable pricing and benefits:

| Tier         | Description                                                                         |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Diamond**  | Top-tier sponsorship with maximum visibility, speaking slots, and premium placement |
| **Platinum** | High-visibility sponsorship with prominent branding and engagement opportunities    |
| **Gold**     | Mid-tier sponsorship with standard branding and event presence                      |
| **Silver**   | Entry-level paid sponsorship with basic branding                                    |
| **Bronze**   | Minimal sponsorship tier for community supporters                                   |

<Tip>Not all tiers need to be enabled. Configure only the tiers that make sense for your event size and audience.</Tip>

## Configuring tiers

As an event manager, you can set up sponsorship tiers with custom pricing and benefits:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Sponsorships tab">
    Navigate to your event's management page and click the **Sponsorships** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure tier pricing">
    Set the price for each tier you want to offer. Tiers without a price are hidden from sponsors.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Define tier benefits">
    Describe what each tier includes — logo placement, speaking slots, booth space, social media mentions, or other perks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set max sponsors per tier">
    Limit the number of sponsors per tier to maintain exclusivity. Once a tier is full, it is no longer available for purchase.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Payment status tracking

Sponsorship payments are processed through Stripe. Track each sponsor's payment state:

| Status        | Description                                                    |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pending**   | Sponsor has selected a tier but payment has not been completed |
| **Paid**      | Payment has been successfully processed through Stripe         |
| **Cancelled** | Sponsorship has been cancelled or payment was refunded         |

<Note>Payment processing is handled by Stripe. Refunds and disputes are managed through the Stripe dashboard.</Note>
