How do I sell conference tickets online?

Make one registration page with a ticket type for each price, such as early bird and regular, and give each its own sale dates. Cap the total at your room's size, ask attendees for the details you need, and take payment into your own PayPal or Stripe account. Email every attendee a ticket with a QR code, and scan it at the door. Payly does all of this with no fee of its own.

Why Payly

Ask attendees what you need to know

The Conference template asks for each attendee's company and job title, and which sessions they will join. Add your own questions, such as dietary needs. Every answer is in your dashboard.

Early bird, regular and a full room

Give each ticket type its own sale dates, so the early bird price ends on its own date. Set an event capacity for your room, and tickets show Sold out when it is full.

A registration desk on any device

Open Check in on phones or laptops, with no app to install. Several people can scan at once, and each ticket gets in only once. Download the guest list as a CSV.

Honest answers

Can I limit seats in each workshop?

No. Limits are for each ticket type and for the whole event, so a cap on seats in one session is not supported. Responses does count how many people picked each session, so you can plan your rooms.

Can a company buy tickets for several people?

Yes. Set Most per order as high as 100, and one buyer can get a whole group's tickets in one order. Each ticket has its own code and QR code. Add a question for the attendees' names, and their answers show in Responses.

Does check-in work if the venue's internet is poor?

No. Check in needs an internet connection, because every scan is checked as it happens. Test the connection at your venue before the day, and download the guest list as a CSV to keep a copy.

What if an attendee cancels?

Refund the payment from the Payments screen. A full refund puts the ticket back on sale, and Check in turns the refunded ticket away. A partial refund keeps the ticket.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no monthly fee, no transaction fee and no paid tier. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees on each payment, as they would on any platform. How can this possibly be free?
