Tickets, events & VIP
Sell tickets. Keep your whole price.
Guests pay a small booking fee on top of your price, and see one all-in price before they buy. We pay back Stripe’s card fee on every ticket and VIP sale that isn’t refunded, and on refunds your guests ask for inside your policy or that we make for our own mistake. No scanner to buy, no contract, no monthly fee to sell, and the money lands in your own Stripe account.
Sell a $20 ticket and your guest sees $22.00, plus any tax. You keep $20.00.
Keep your whole ticket price
Guests pay a booking fee of 10% or $1 a ticket, whichever is greater, on top of your price. Stripe takes its card fee at the sale, and we pay it back when the money is paid out, so the price you set is the price you keep. If you later refund a sale yourself, or lose a chargeback on it, that payback comes off your next ones.
The old way: Per-ticket fees taken out of your price, and the card fee on top.
Found by guests nearby
Your events and VIP services show up in the BarMatch app for 21+ guests near you, on the map and in Events, not just for people who already follow you. Every price they see is the full price, fee included.
The old way: A ticket link only your own followers ever see.
Refunds on your terms, without the card fee
Pick one of five standard refund policies. A guest inside its window refunds in the app, with nothing for you to approve, and we give you back Stripe’s card fee on that refund out of our booking fee. A refund you choose to give, or a night you cancel, keeps its card fee yours.
The old way: Platform refund rules, and the card fee on a refund stays with you.
Your money, in your bank
Payments go straight to your own Stripe account: you’re the merchant of record, not us. Ticket money is paid out the day after you scan a guest in, or four days after the night if they don’t come. Day-to-day revenue pays out daily.
The old way: Funds pooled in the platform’s account and paid out on their schedule.
No hardware, ever
Any phone is your door scanner. Your bouncer or concierge opens a link, enters their own staff code, and scans each guest’s ticket from our app or their Apple or Google Wallet, and you watch who’s in and who’s still coming, live.
The old way: Scanners and POS terminals to buy or rent, and a spreadsheet after the fact.
Selling in minutes
Claim your venue, connect your bank through Stripe, pick a refund policy and add a support email, all on one page. No contracts, no onboarding calls, no integrations, no POS required.
The old way: Contracts, onboarding, and integrations before your first sale.

Outside your policy, a refund is your call. The guest gets back the price and any tax, and Stripe keeps its card fee (about $0.94), which is yours.
