Outside guests, without the marketplace tax.
ViaMeet is the marketplace built into Tenvia Coworks. List a room or an event and anyone can book it. The fee comes out of your side, never added to the guest, never on your direct business, and never on a deposit. This page is for the operator. Guests and hosts have their own site: See ViaMeet.
5% on rooms, 3% on tickets, 0% on everything direct. No listing fee, no exclusivity.
Six rules, and none of them have an asterisk.
Opt in per room or per event
Each resource is shown, hidden or inherits the location’s setting. The boardroom can be on ViaMeet while the private offices stay off it. Events are listed one at a time.
Anyone can book
Guest checkout with a card, or a magic-link ViaMeet identity for people who come back. Your own members can book away at other listed spaces from inside your portal.
The fee comes from your side
The guest pays your price. The 5% on a room is taken from the operator’s side and snapshotted on the booking, so a rate change later never changes what was agreed.
Direct bookings are never charged
A booking from your own website, your portal or your front desk carries no ViaMeet fee, whether or not the room is listed.
A returning guest can book you direct at zero
The guest details are on your client record. When they come back through your site, that is a direct booking. No suspension for talking to your own customer.
Deposits are never commissioned
The fee applies to the booking value, not to the deposit you hold against it. A deposit returned is a deposit returned in full.
Three numbers, and three ways to carry the ticket fee.
The room fee is always on the operator’s side. The ticket fee is yours to place: on you, on the buyer, or split.
HOST
You carry the 3%. The buyer pays the ticket price you set and nothing more.
GUEST
The 3% is added at checkout and shown to the buyer as a fee. You receive the full ticket price.
SPLIT
Half and half. 1.5% comes from your side, 1.5% is added to the buyer’s total.
Card processing is separate and goes to Stripe at Stripe’s published Canadian rates on every booking, direct or marketplace. Coworks-hosted events sold from your own pages are not ViaMeet sales and carry no ViaMeet fee.
To your own bank, through Stripe.
You connect a bank account once through Stripe Connect Express. ViaMeet ticket revenue pays out to it 24 hours after the event, net of card processing and the fee. Room bookings settle to the same account. A room or an event is not listed until payouts are set up, so nothing is ever sold that cannot be paid.
- Stripe Connect Express, your own account, your own bank
- Ticket payout 24 hours after the event, no reserve held
- The fee is taken on the way through, never invoiced to you later
- Every payout on the same ledger as the rest of the month
Three things ViaMeet will never be.
Not a directory with a subscription
There is no listing fee and no monthly charge to appear. A room that never gets a ViaMeet booking costs nothing to list.
Not exclusive
List the same room on Peerspace, on Tagvenue, on your own site. ViaMeet takes its fee only on the bookings it brought you.
Not the owner of your customer
The guest lands on your client record with their history. You may email them, quote them, invoice them and book them direct next time. ViaMeet does not stand between you.
What the marketplaces take.
The venue marketplaces charge the host and the guest, and several forbid you from talking to the guest afterwards. Here is the take rate, side by side.
| Marketplace | Host side | Guest side | On a $600 room booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| ViaMeet | 5% on rooms, 3% on tickets | None, unless you choose GUEST or SPLIT on a ticket | $30 |
| Peerspace | 20% of the booking and the add-ons | About 10 to 15% processing fee | $120, plus $60 to $90 charged to the guest |
| Giggster | 19% of the host payout | n/a | $114 |
| Tagvenue | About 15% of the booking | n/a | $90 |
| LiquidSpace | About 10%, higher on a first booking under some host terms. Desks and offices more than hourly rooms | n/a | About $60 |
| Eventbrite, for the tickets | About 11 to 16% all in on a $20 to $40 ticket | Often passed to the buyer | n/a |
Third-party fees are published or reviewer-reported as of September 2026 and change without notice, so confirm with each vendor. All product names are trademarks of their respective owners. The $600 column is illustrative and excludes card processing on every row.
A room at $150 an hour, booked for four hours
The booking is $600. Here is what reaches the operator's account.
| Booked through | Booking | Platform fee | Card processing | Operator keeps | Guest pays on top |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coworks App | $600.00 | $0.00 | $17.70 | $582.30 | Nothing |
| ViaMeet.net | $600.00 | $30.00 | $17.70 | $552.30 | Nothing |
| Peerspace | $600.00 | $120.00 | Included | $480.00 | $60.00 to $90.00 |
| Giggster | $600.00 | $114.00 | Included | $486.00 | n/a |
| Tagvenue | $600.00 | $90.00 | Included | $510.00 | n/a |
Coworks App is your own booking page, with no platform fee. ViaMeet takes 5%, and only when it brought the guest. The marketplaces fold card processing into their cut, so their column reads Included. Ours is shown at 2.9% plus 30 cents, the standard published card rate.
List a room. Keep the customer.
