Every Meetup group ...
  Every Meetup group has an organizer  
Sometimes, organizers need     to run their Meetup groups.    Why?   
This is where                     comes in     We integrated with the Amazon Flexible Payments Service (Beta)         ...to help bring money into Meetups.   
With Amazon FPS     * Organizers collect $ online, before the event    * Members can pay-per-event.        We're helping build economies within Meetups so Meetups can last longer.    
Examples Real use case 1 LA Cooking Meetup  $20 fee  This pays for food and supplies to learn how to make sushi. Real use case 2 NYC Philosophy Meetup $5 fee To ensure against flaky attendance.     Other use cases:  reserve a venue cover costs ensure against flakes pay people for their contributions
  Now, organizers can require payment    
Payment status; refunds, batch refunds    
  View and edit transaction details    
Results so far... Launched in June Adoption has been modest, but steadily increasing    $114,883  thru the system  about 1000 unique organizers 4700 unique payers  2/3 of all Amazon Payment events are "require to pay"   
Why Amazon FPS? Built ground-up around the concept of three-party transactions (caller, sender, recipient)   Ability to easily take a cut of transactions that we facilitate, should we choose to do so   Easy refunds    Flexibility and power: full API, various types of tokens, the Gatekeeper language
Role of Tokens @ Meetup Three-party token system allows us to easily facilitate transactions between a sender and recipient.     Caller-Token -> Meetup.com     Recipient-Token -> Meetup Organizer     Single-Use Token -> Meetup Member  
Recipient Token -> Meetup Organizer
Recipient Token -> Meetup Member
Amazon FPS: calling the Pay operation
Future plans  with Amazon FPS Continue with pay-per-event (ticketing) feature collect $ from members per event    Sponsorships get your Meetup sponsored by a business (ex: Huggies sponsors Mom Meetups; local bookstore sponsors the Austin Bookclub Meetup)   Membership Dues  collect $ from members to pay for Meetup group membership   
  The end
