For organizers

Everything you need to sell tickets.

Launch an event, publish only when it is ready, sell with supported payments, support clients after checkout, scan tickets at the gate, collect reviews, and track payout readiness.

How it works

From idea to payout in five steps

  1. 01

    Create your event

    Set your event name, date, venue, and city. Add ticket tiers, capacity limits, and optional merch or photo packs in minutes.

  2. 02

    Publish when ready

    Use the publish checklist and event health score to confirm details, tiers, recovery links, scanning, and payout readiness before going live.

  3. 03

    Sell everywhere

    Buyers pay with EcoCash or Visa. They get a printable PDF, mobile QR, WhatsApp ticket, order lookup, resend, transfer, and review links.

  4. 04

    Scan at the gate

    Use our built-in scanner to check guests in. See live entry counts and catch duplicate QR codes automatically.

  5. 05

    Get paid

    Track gross revenue, TicketPulse fee, paid out, pending, and available balance per event, then request EcoCash or bank settlement.

Before publishing

Publish checklist

Event title, date, venue, city, and description are correct.

At least one ticket tier is created with the right price and capacity.

Refund, parking, age limit, dress code, or entry notes are added under More About This Event.

Cover image and public preview look right on mobile.

Payout details and organizer contact details are ready before heavy sales begin.

Do this before sharing widely

Buy one test ticket or issue a staff ticket, open it on a phone, and scan it from another device. This confirms the gate workflow before real guests arrive.

Event day

Run the gate with fewer surprises

Use scanner mode

Open the organizer scanner on a phone, start the camera, and keep sound or vibration on for faster admit/reject feedback.

Have manual lookup ready

If a QR is cracked, dim, or unavailable, search by ticket code, buyer email, or order reference before turning guests away.

Escalate payment disputes

If someone says they paid but has no ticket, capture their payment time, phone/email, and order reference for admin reconciliation.

When and how do I get paid?
You can request a payout at any time from your organizer dashboard. Once requested, funds are sent to your selected settlement method after TicketPulse review. The 5% fee is deducted automatically.
Can I get paid before the event happens?
Yes. You are not required to wait until the event ends. Request a partial or full payout whenever you like, as long as there are settled funds in your event balance.
What payment methods do buyers use?
Buyers can pay with EcoCash or Visa card in USD or ZAR. All transactions are processed securely and tickets are issued instantly upon successful payment.
What happens if I cancel my event?
Cancelled events trigger automatic refunds to all buyers. No payout is issued for cancelled events, and buyers are notified immediately by email and WhatsApp.
How many organizers can manage one event?
The event owner can invite up to 2 additional organizers to help manage the event. Each organizer gets access to ticket sales, check-in, staff tickets, attendees, and messaging tools.
Can I offer different ticket tiers?

How do I publish an event?
Create the event, add at least one ticket tier, preview the public page, then press Publish event from the organizer event overview or ticket tiers page.
Can I edit an event after publishing?
Yes. You can update details after publishing, but avoid changing core entry rules, venue, or times without notifying buyers through email or WhatsApp broadcast.
Do I need a separate app to scan tickets?
No. Ticket scanning works directly from your phone's browser. Open the Live dashboard for your event, point the camera at a QR code, and the scanner handles the rest.
What should I do if someone paid but has no ticket?
Ask for their checkout email, payment phone or card name, payment time, and any order reference. Admin can use reconciliation tools to confirm payment and resend tickets if valid.
