How to grow your payments app with event organisers

Small event organisers often collect money by bank transfer and track guests on a spreadsheet. A payment link for each event lets guests pay in seconds and gives the organiser a clear list of who is coming.

Talk to a few organisers and ask:

  1. What kinds of events do you run?
  2. How do guests pay and how far ahead?
  3. How do you know who has paid?
  4. What happens when someone cancels?

A link for each event

A payment link with the event name and price can be shared on social media or in a group chat. Guests pay when they decide, and the organiser sees each payment come in.

Help on the day

Some guests pay on the door. A QR code at the entrance means the organiser doesn't need to carry change.

Grow through the guests

Every guest who pays through your app sees how easy it is. Some of them run events too, and organisers often work with the same venues and suppliers.
