What is AI event ticketing?
AI event ticketing is describing an event in plain words and having the event page, ticket types, checkout and wallet tickets built for you, instead of filling in a ticketing site’s forms. In DeStore you tell the AI about your event, or hand it the flyer you already have, and it makes everything around the ticket for you.
Questions organisers ask
How much does it cost to sell event tickets with DeStore?
DeStore takes 1% of each sale, plus Stripe’s or Square’s own card fees. On a A$40 ticket that is 40c to DeStore. Your buyers pay the price you set, with no booking fee added on top.
Publishing the event page is 35c, and 99c once hosts it for 10 years. Building it with AI is charged by what it uses, from your credit, and every new account starts with A$10 of credit and no card.
Can AI build an event page and sell tickets?
Yes. Tell DeStore’s AI the event’s name, date, place and prices, or upload the flyer you already have, and it builds the event page in your colours, sets the ticket types and puts the flyer’s QR code in place. Change anything by asking, then publish.
Once you connect Stripe or Square, the page sells. It can also be made from the DeStore Events app in ChatGPT or the Free QR app in Canva.
Can I sell early bird and door tickets?
Yes. Each ticket type has a normal price and how many there are, and can have an early bird price (until a date, or for the first so many) and an at-the-door price once the event starts. The page shows what each costs right now, how many are left, and Sold out when they are gone.
Can buyers pay with Apple Pay and Google Pay?
Yes. With Square, Apple Pay and Google Pay are one tap on DeStore’s own checkout, with card on Square’s secure page. With Stripe, Stripe’s checkout offers Apple Pay, Google Pay and card. There is no app to download and no account for the buyer to make.
Do I need a Stripe or Square account?
You need one of them to sell tickets, because the money goes straight to you and never through DeStore. Log in to the Square you already use, log in to Stripe, or create a Stripe account in a few minutes. Free events need neither.
How are tickets checked at the door?
Every ticket carries its own QR code, in Apple Wallet, Google Wallet or on the ticket page. Your door staff open your scanner on any phone (your own address, with your logo) and scan. Each ticket gets in once; a second scan says when it was used.
A Ticket office pass in the staff phone’s wallet opens the scanner, and the guest’s pass changes to Checked in.
Will my event show up on Google?
If you choose to list it, the live page carries the event data Google reads for its event listings (name, dates, place, ticket prices) and goes into DeStore’s events sitemap. Google decides what it shows and when. You can also keep an event private, for people with the link.
Can I make a free event?
Yes. A free event has no checkout: people see the details, add it to their calendar, and can save a free wallet pass if you switch it on. It costs only the 35c to publish and 99c to host.
