Run the show.

Event ticketing, QR check-in, and payments for live events. Tickets land by email, any device with a camera becomes a scanner, and sales settle straight into your own gateway.

Ticketing01 / 03

Tickets that deliver themselves.

QR tickets land by email the moment someone registers. No app to install, no account for guests to create. Ticket tiers with per-tier limits, plus a free event website so you can sell without building one.

Scanning02 / 03

Scan with devices you already own.

Any phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and a browser becomes a scanner. Duplicate detection catches reused tickets, and when venue Wi-Fi drops, scans queue on the device and sync once the connection returns.

Payments03 / 03

You get paid first. We invoice later.

Every sale settles straight into your own gateway account, so the money is yours before we ever bill for it. Our commission is invoiced later on a schedule, and only on tickets that have been paid and settled.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

The things organizers ask before their first event. Anything else, the answer is one email away.

01

Is it really free?

Yes. Free events are free forever, with unlimited tickets, guests, scanning, and reporting included. We only earn a commission when you sell paid tickets through the platform.

02

Who holds the money?

You do. Buyers pay through your own connected payment gateway, so funds land in your account the moment a sale happens. We never hold, route, or delay a cent of your revenue.

03

What do I need to scan tickets?

Any phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and a web browser. Your crew signs in and scans from the devices they already own. No app installs, no dedicated scanners, no rentals.

04

Does scanning work offline?

It is offline-tolerant. If venue Wi-Fi drops, scans queue on the device and sync automatically once the connection returns. Duplicate checks keep running against the local guest list.

05

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. Tickets arrive by email as a QR code with a PDF attached. Guests just show it from their inbox at the door, and can have it resent from the event website whenever they need it.

06

Can I add guests at the door?

Yes. Add walk-ins from the guest list in seconds, or import a batch before doors open. They get their QR tickets by email instantly and show up on every scanner right away.
