Sell tickets or merch in-person

Our Bluetooth card readers and mobile apps let you sell tickets, merch, or concessions in-person with ease. Accept any card with tap, dip, or swipe (or skip the hardware and use Tap on Mobile).

What should I look for in an event booking system?

A great event booking system will combine ticketing, registration forms, and payment collection in one spot. For example, Cheddar Up’s event management booking system bundles QR code ticket scanning, capacity limits, waitlists, and secure payment collection into a single platform, so you’re not stitching together multiple apps.

How do I collect event payments online?

Use a hassle-free event management platform that is well-known for its ability to collect, manage, and report on event payments. Event management software like Cheddar Up allows you to do all of this and more! 

Simply create an event page, set your ticket or registration price, and share the link or QR code, then interested attendees pay online when they register. Payments, attendee details, and custom questions like t-shirt size are collected together, and funds are tracked automatically in your dashboard.

Is it secure to collect event payments online with Cheddar Up?

Yes. Cheddar Up processes online event payments through secure, PCI-compliant payment processing, so organizers never have to handle or store card details themselves. Every payment is logged automatically for reporting and reconciliation.

Can I manage event ticketing and payments on one platform?

Yes. The best online event management platforms like Cheddar Up combine ticketing, registration, and payment collection in a single event management platform. Sell tickets, collect attendee information, take payments online or in person with the point-of-sale app, and pull reports without switching tools.

How does Cheddar Up compare to Eventbrite for event ticketing?

Similar to Eventbrite, Cheddar Up offers QR-code tickets, custom registration forms, and online payment collection. It’s built for recurring group organizers, including PTAs, schools, booster clubs, and sports teams, rather than one-off public ticketing. Sign ups and messaging are also built in alongside ticketing.
