FAQ
Does Check Cherry write ceremony scripts?
No. Check Cherry is a booking, contract, and payments platform for event professionals. There is no script composer, readings library, or podium mode. RiteBinder adds all of that, plus the booking side.
Can I use Check Cherry and RiteBinder together?
You can. Some officiants keep a booking tool they like and use RiteBinder for the writing and the day-of. But RiteBinder also handles agreements, deposits, and reminders, so many use it for the whole loop.
How do payments work in RiteBinder?
Your couples and families pay you directly — on your own Stripe, Square, or Venmo links, or on a rail we set up for you that settles straight into your own Stripe account. RiteBinder records what is owed and paid, and never holds your money. On what you collect through our rail we take a RiteBinder platform fee — 1% for Solo and Studio, 2% on Free, card or bank transfer alike, with nothing added to your client's bill. Payments through your own links carry no RiteBinder fee.
