Events

Everything your event sells, in one checkout.

And every phone at the party, one album.

Weddings, conventions, christenings, the end-of-year party. Add the details, say what you're selling, and you have a link you can send — usually in about four minutes.

Free events cost nothing. Paid tickets are 5% + $0.49, card processing included.

An event page on a phone: cover art, the date and venue, a Get tickets button, then passes at $89.74 and $173.74 and a vendor booth at $315.49. Live page /e/diaspora-culture-commerce-conv
What the page does

It's a website, and it takes the money.

Looks like yours
Your flyer sits at the top, your colours run through it, the details are where people expect them. It loads fast on a five-year-old phone, which is what most of your guests are holding.
Sells anything
Passes and day passes. The plate at the banquet. A 10×10 for the lady selling lace. Parking, if it's that kind of venue. Up to fifteen different things on one page. A booth can need your yes first — vendors apply, you approve, then they pay — and the ones you approve are listed on the page with what they sell.
Takes payment
Card, right on the page. Your guest types an email and gets the ticket — no account to make, nothing to download.
Runs the door
Every ticket carries a QR code. Scan people in from your phone and watch the count go up.
Pays you
Into your own Stripe account, on Stripe's normal schedule.
Keeps the day
Every phone in the room, one album, on this page by the morning — and a hashtag still catches the ones who'd rather post. How the photos work is just below.
Moment

Every phone at your party, one album.

Somebody always has the best photo of the night, and it's never the person who organised it. Put a poster by the door and every phone in the room adds to one album — nothing to download, no account to make, and it's all on your event page by the morning.

What you do
Print the poster
Event → The page → Photos from tonight → Print. A black-on-white code that says "Scan to add your photos", with the address typed under it for the one phone whose camera won't play. Or paste the same link into the WhatsApp group.
Put the wall on the TV
Same link, "Show on the big screen", on any laptop plugged into the screen. Newest photos first, the count, the code in the corner. Nobody operates it.
The flash, when you want it
One tap on your phone. The wall counts down, every screen in the room lights up and every camera fires on the same second. That's the party trick. Everything else needs nothing switched on — the room exists the moment the event does.
What your guests do
Scan
The poster, or the link in the group. It opens in the phone's browser — no app, no account, no name.
Tap, shoot
One button. The camera is asked for at that tap and never before. Or they add from the camera roll, which is how the people who shot the night on a real camera get theirs in.
Get the album
It lives on the event page after tonight. "Find yourself" takes one selfie, compares it once and throws it away; "your night" gathers the photos they took. Any of it saves to the phone.
What it isn't
Live video
Photos only. Nothing streams anywhere.
Private
Photos land on the event's public page — the one you sent people to. If your crowd would want to know that, tell them. You can hide any photo, any time.
An app
It runs in the phone's browser, and works best in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android.
A real flash
It lights every screen in the room at once; it doesn't fire the cameras' own flashes. Made for a dark room.

It's printed here so you never have to ask. Absorb it or pass it on — same number either way, and your guest sees it before the last screen.

Naira has no fixed fee. Free is free.

Your money

It's yours the moment it moves.

Payments land in a Stripe account in your name. Not mine, and not a balance you have to ask me to release. That isn't a policy I could change later — it's how the payments are wired.

Not built yet

So you know before you start.

Hotel blocks
You can list a room-night on the page, and the booking goes to the hotel directly. There's no commission tracking or invoicing — I haven't built it or tested it with a hotel.
Finding vendors
You can sell a booth to a vendor you already know, and approved vendors are listed on your page. There's nowhere yet to go and find one.
Repeat events
Each one is its own page for now.

If one of these is what you actually need, tell me — it's how I pick what to build next.
