How do Blend and Lepointdevente pay organizers?
Blend pays North American organizers into their own Stripe account: the organizer connects Stripe, buyers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in Canadian or US dollars, and the ticket money goes to that account, on the organizer's own records.
Lepointdevente's help center says organizers do not need a merchant account because Lepointdevente puts its own at their disposal, and that revenue arrives by direct deposit the Monday following the event. An organizer who wants their own merchant account is told to contact its team. On Blend, the organizer's own Stripe account is the default, not a request. See Blend in North America.
Can a Quebec organizer sell tickets on their own website?
Yes, on Blend: every organizer gets their own website on their own domain, with Blend's checkout, tickets and data underneath, built by chatting with Blenny and edited by conversation.

Do Quebec's ticketing rules apply on Blend and Lepointdevente?
Yes, on every platform. The Office de la protection du consommateur says an advertised event ticket price must include every mandatory amount except taxes, and Quebec's French language rules cover websites that sell to Quebec buyers (law firm summary of Bill 96). On Blend, the organizer sets the ticket price, checks the checkout total before publishing and writes the event page in French as well as English. This is general information, not legal advice.

Blend. Blenny, Blend's own AI agent, is 47 specialist agents: it builds the event and the website, reads Meta ads next to ticket sales, recovers abandoned checkouts, sets up the door team and reports every Monday, each job approved by the organizer, by text or voice. Lepointdevente's pages do not state an AI agent. See what Blenny does.
