SmartScale Spark: flyer in, event out

Upload your flyer or type one sentence. Spark reads the date, venue, lineup, hosts, dress code, age limit and ticket prices, writes your page and builds your tickets. Anything it could not find is highlighted so you fix it in seconds, then publish.

Create with Spark →

Early-bird pricing and ticket limits

Set an early-bird price that switches to the regular price on its own, and cap how many tickets one order can buy.

Set in the AI builder or when editing tickets

Tables, sections and VIP

Sell a table or section as one purchase (for example "VIP table for 6") with a set number of spots.

Growth Tools → your event → Tables & pay links

Private pay links

Send one person a private link for a custom amount, like a bottle package or a table deposit. Paid links become tickets automatically.

Growth Tools → your event → Tables & pay links

Approval-only tickets

Guests request a ticket and their card is held, not charged. You approve (and charge) or decline from your dashboard. Holds release on their own after 6 days.

Growth Tools → your event → Tables & pay links

Guest list and comps

Add names with plus-ones. Comps get a scannable pass by text, with Apple and Google Wallet buttons.

Free events and RSVPs

Free events are always free to run, with the same tickets, reminders and door scanning.

Market it

AI launch pack

The moment you publish: Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok posts, an email, a text, hashtags, countdown posts, last-chance and day-of messages, a dated promo schedule and a QR code. Rewrite any piece shorter, hotter or more professional with one tap.

Growth Tools → your event → Launch pack

Promoter links with commission

Every promoter gets their own link. See clicks, paid tickets, commission earned, what refunds took back, what you have paid and what is still owed. You pay promoters yourself (Cash App, Zelle, cash) and record it; they see it on their own stats link. SmartScale Events doesn't send promoter payouts.

Growth Tools → your event → Promoters

Share & earn

Turn your buyers (or anyone) into promoters. They get a personal link and earn a percentage you set on every paid ticket it sells. You pay them the same way you pay promoters.

Growth Tools → your event → Crowd

Co-hosts

Give a co-host their own dashboard and links for their team, and see everyone's sales rolled up in one place.

Growth Tools → your event → Co-hosts

Text blasts

Text your ticket holders, waitlist or guest list from your dashboard. Change the date, time or venue and everyone with a ticket gets a text automatically.

Growth Tools → your event → Text blast

Who's going

Show first names and initials of people going on your event page, once enough people have said yes.

Growth Tools → your event → Crowd

Reminders and checkout recovery

Buyers get a reminder text before the event, and people who start checkout but don't finish get a nudge.

Waitlist for sold-out events

When tickets sell out, a waitlist opens. When spots open up, people on it are texted first.

Automatic

Ask your event

Ask questions about your sales in plain English, like "how many VIP tickets sold this week?"

Growth Tools → your event → Ask

Found on Google

Every event page carries the details Google needs to show it in event search, new events are submitted to search engines automatically, and your event is listed on our Things to do pages for your city.

Things to do →

Sell it

The full price up front

Every ticket shows the total, fees included, before checkout. No surprises at the last step.

Pay their way

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay and Link. On eligible orders, buyers can pay over time with Affirm or Klarna while you are paid in full.

No account needed

Buyers check out as guests and get their ticket by text and email.

Wallet tickets

Every ticket and pass can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, with your event image on it.

Transfer or sell back

Can't make it? Buyers can send a ticket to a friend by phone number, or sell it back at face value to your waitlist. No scalper markups.

Buyers: My tickets →

Paid to your bank, fast

Ticket money goes into your own payout account and on to your bank, according to your Stripe payout schedule. Connect or create a Stripe account and complete verification; the first payout can take longer.

Dashboard → Payouts

Secure payments

Payments are processed by Stripe, which also powers checkout for millions of businesses. Card numbers never touch our servers, and ticket money sits in your own payout account, not ours.

Refunds and cancellations

You set the refund policy for your event. Refunds go back to the buyer's original payment method. If you ever have to cancel, call or text us and we'll help you refund everyone and let them know.

Chargebacks

If a buyer disputes a charge, it comes through Stripe on your payout account. We'll help you answer it with the order, ticket and door check-in records.

You choose who pays fees

Service fee 3.5% + $1.59 per paid ticket, lower than Eventbrite. Pass it to buyers and you receive your ticket price minus about 30ยข per order that Stripe keeps, or cover it yourself. Pick per event.

Insights that tell you what to do next

Tickets sold, revenue, what you keep, sales by day and ticket type, where buyers came from (Instagram, Facebook, Google, promoters), check-ins and refunds. Then plain next steps: sales slowed, text past buyers; one channel is working, lean into it.

Growth Tools → Insights

Door scanner that works offline

Download your guest list before doors open. Scanning works with no signal, and check-ins sync when you're back online.

Door Scanner

Staff scan with a PIN

Give door staff a PIN instead of an account. They open the door page on their phone and start scanning.

Growth Tools → your event → Door

Bad tickets stay out

Refunded, cancelled, transferred and sold-back tickets are rejected at the door automatically, even screenshots.

Followers

Buyers can follow you from your page and right after checkout. Every Thursday they get one email with your upcoming events, and followers who opt in get a text the moment you post a new one.

Automatic

Guest ratings and real testimonials

About an hour after your event ends, guests get one quick "How was it?" and rate it 1 to 5. Happy guests can leave a comment and let you quote it; everyone else tells you privately what to improve.

Automatic

Refer an organizer

Share your referral link. For 12 months you earn 10% of the SmartScale fees on every paid ticket they sell.

Questions

What can I do with SmartScale Events?

Create an event from your flyer with SmartScale Spark, run it again on a new date in one step, see what is selling and what to do next, sell tickets, tables, VIP and private pay links, promote with promoter links, text blasts and an AI launch pack, scan tickets at the door (even offline), and get paid to your bank through Stripe.

Can buyers pay over time?

Yes. On eligible orders, buyers can choose Affirm or Klarna at checkout. You are paid in full; the buyer pays the lender over time.

Can a buyer transfer or resell a ticket?

Yes. From My tickets, a buyer can send a ticket to a friend by phone number or sell it back at face value to your waitlist. The old ticket stops working at the door automatically.

Can door staff scan without an account?

Yes. Set a door PIN for your event and staff open the door page on their phone, enter the PIN and scan. It keeps working without signal.

When do I get paid, and is my money safe?

Payments are processed by Stripe. Ticket money goes into your own payout account and on to your bank, according to your Stripe payout schedule. Timing depends on verification and settlement; the first payout can take longer. Card numbers never touch SmartScale Events servers.

What happens with refunds or if I cancel?

You set the refund policy for your event, and refunds go back to the buyer's original payment method. If you cancel, SmartScale Events helps you refund buyers and notify them by text and email.

Can I connect ChatGPT, Claude or my own tools?

Yes, free on every account. Connect ChatGPT or Claude from Dashboard, Connected AI, to check sales, build events from a flyer and more; publishing and texting always wait for your yes. Developers get an API key and signed webhooks; see the developers page.

How do promoters get paid?

Each promoter gets their own link, and SmartScale Events tracks their clicks, tickets, sales and commission. You pay them directly (Cash App, Zelle, cash) and record each payment in Growth Tools. Refunded tickets don't earn commission, and SmartScale Events doesn't send promoter payouts.

Your next event could be on sale in a minute.
