The Challenge

No Reliable Owned Ticketing System

Event organisers were stuck paying large commission fees to third-party platforms, had no control over the customer experience, and had no reliable fraud-proof verification system for physical event entry.

  • Third-party platforms (Eventbrite, etc.) charge per-ticket fees that erode margins
  • No owned solution for West African payment rails (Paystack)
  • Paper tickets and screenshot fraud were rampant at the door
  • Organisers had no real-time dashboard to track entry or attendance

The Solution

A Complete Ticketing Engine with QR Verification

I architected the entire ticketing workflow, from payment to QR generation to door scanning, as a single owned platform, cutting out commission fees and eliminating fraud.

Paystack Payment Integration

Secure payment processing via Paystack, designed for West African cards and mobile money, with webhook confirmation.

Cryptographic QR Generation

Each ticket gets a unique signed QR code generated post-payment, cryptographically tied to the purchase, impossible to duplicate.

Automated Email Delivery

QR code ticket is emailed automatically within seconds of payment confirmation, no manual steps required.

Organiser Scanning Dashboard

Real-time dashboard for scanning QR codes at the door, instant valid/invalid feedback, live attendee count.

Supabase Real-Time Backend

Supabase powers live updates, as tickets are scanned, organisers see attendee counts update instantly across all devices.

Fraud Prevention

Each QR can only be scanned once, re-use attempts are flagged immediately. Screenshot fraud is eliminated by design.
