How it works.

From creating an event to getting paid, here's exactly what happens at every step, including how payments work.

1Create your free account

Sign up with your name, email, and organization name. No cost, no card required to get started, no approval wait.

2Set up your event

Add your event name, description, date (or mark it "date to be announced" for ongoing services), venue, and a poster. Then add one or more ticket types with a price, quantity, and per-order limit. Ticket types can be free (price of $0) as easily as paid.

3Connect Stripe

This is the one step worth explaining in detail, because it's what makes Nexus different from a platform that holds your money.

You can explore the rest of the dashboard and build your event before connecting Stripe. It's only required at the moment you publish.

4Publish and share

Publish publicly (shows up in search and browse) or unlisted (only reachable by a direct link you share yourself). Either way, you get a shareable link immediately.

5Sell tickets

Buyers pick their tickets, pay by card, and get a confirmation email with a downloadable PDF ticket and QR code automatically. No app required to buy.

6Scan tickets at the door

Generate a scanner link for each entrance from your dashboard. Anyone with that link can check in tickets using their phone's camera, no extra app or hardware.

Why organizers use Nexus

Your money, directly

Payments land in your own Stripe account. Nexus never holds your funds.

No listing fees

Free to create events. You only ever pay Stripe's own standard processing rate.

Coupons and discounts

Single-use or multi-use codes, percent or fixed off, scoped to the whole order or one ticket type.

Referral tracking

Give affiliates their own tracked links with a commission, and record payouts as you make them.

Complimentary tickets

Issue free tickets directly for press, VIPs, or staff, bypassing checkout entirely.

Built-in door scanning

A camera-based scanner web app, no separate hardware or app download for your door staff.

Per-event analytics

Sales by day, ticket type sell-through, check-in stats, all without leaving your dashboard.

Team access

Invite staff and managers by email with different permission levels.
