How online ticket sales work
Buyers pay by card or wallet; the platform issues a unique QR; door staff validate against a live list. Before you pick a brand, clarify organizer-side fees, when funds settle, and whether you need rental scanners.
What US buyers expect
Mobile-first checkout, Apple Pay / Google Pay, clear all-in pricing, and instant ticket delivery. Hiding fees until the last step often costs 8%–15% conversion.
