This isn’t answering your question RE Venmo, since last we tried Venmo didn’t work well
for our needs. Our partner organization has a Square account set up, which allows for
different QR codes (like one for contra admission, one for general donations) with
separate tags and deposited in the bank account together. The QR code goes to a page on
our website, where folks can use Apple Pay, Google pay (maybe something else). Without one
of those pay ment systems set up it can be annoying for the end user to type in credit
card info (especially compared to Venmo), but in general it works well for dancers of
diverse generations and technical ability.
I’m not sure if it allows for you to set the cost - we have a sliding scale.

We don't have a great system: we just do it by
timing. Most of the time is not during one of our events, so it's probably pretty
close to right.

Hi,
We've been trying to figure out how to tie admission payments via Venmo to specific
events. I'm not the account user so I'm only hearing this second hand or through
web search, but we can create QR codes in Venmo with information encoded in them, e.g.:
https://www.paypal.com/qrcodes/venmocs/be7ee836-3a9a-44c7-94e3-d6a1ae93b6b9…
But I'm told when they are scanned, folks still need to key in the amount (despite it
being encoded in the URL). And when payment comes through, there is no tie to a unique
code that makes for easy attribution to a specific event.
Are there any tricks others have found for doing this? It would be great if we can
separate generic donations to our organization from event admission payments so we can
properly credit them. This is something easily done in PayPal but folks don't seem to
have the patience to use that tool and have asked for Venmo availability.
Thanks in advance,
Don
