Events

Keep the line moving when it matters.

An event is a few days where throughput is everything and nothing can be fixed afterwards. Thousands of people, many of them foreign, all paying in the same ten minutes between sets — and a card network that gets slower exactly when you need it fastest.

Get startedTalk to us
  • Independent of card railsPayments do not queue behind an acquirer's capacity. A slow card network on site does not become your slow bar.
  • Built for foreign crowdsAn international audience pays the same way a local one does. No issuing bank decides your festival looks like fraud.
  • Final on confirmationNo chargebacks against a wristband that was scanned or a drink that was poured.
Where it fits

Every point in your day a payment happens.

Gate and box office

Entry, upgrades and on-the-day tickets, taken on a handheld at the point the crowd arrives.

Bars and food stalls

A device per till point, or a phone per vendor signing in through a browser. No card reader, no app to roll out, and no fixed line to run out to the field.

Merchandise

The stand that peaks for fifteen minutes after a set, handled without a queue forming behind one terminal.

Vendors and concessions

Independent traders take their own payments and you see the activity in one place.

The difference

What changes, and what does not.

Today
  • Card terminals slowing down exactly when the crowd peaks.
  • Cash floats, cash counting and cash moving across a site at night.
  • Foreign cards declined at a gate the guest has already travelled to.
  • Chargebacks arriving weeks after the site has been cleared.
With EnterPay
  • Each till point works on a handheld or a phone, in the browser — no app for a vendor to install before the gates open.
  • A payment confirms in under a minute and cannot be reversed.
  • Where the attendee banks is not a factor.
  • One payout to your account once the event is done.

Connectivity still matters: a device needs to reach the internet to show a payment confirm. Plan the same coverage you would plan for card terminals.

How it works

Four steps, and only one of them is yours.

  1. 01You enter the amount

    On a phone, a tablet or the EnterPay terminal — it is the same screen in a browser, so there is nothing to install. Or by generating a payment link, with no device at all. The amount is set in your own currency.

  2. 02The customer scans

    They pay from the wallet they already use. Nothing to install and no account with us.

  3. 03The payment confirms

    Usually in under a minute. Your screen shows the status as it changes, so nobody is guessing.

  4. 04You are paid out

    In EUR, USD or GBP, to the bank account you gave us — or left as it arrived, if you would rather hold it.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Does this work when the site has poor signal?

The device needs a connection to confirm a payment, the same as a card terminal does. It does not need a card network on top of that, which is one dependency fewer, but it is not an offline product.

Can each vendor take their own payments?

Yes. You can run several terminals and POS logins under one account, so each bar or stall takes its own while you see the whole site.

How quickly are we paid?

Payouts go to your bank account on the schedule set up during onboarding, rather than being held until the event closes.

What happens if someone pays twice or overpays?

Overpayments and underpayments are each flagged as their own state in the dashboard rather than being quietly accepted, so your team can refund or ask for the difference.

What does it cost?

A 2% conversion fee on the amount converted, plus any third-party network fees. No per-terminal rental: the hardware is a one-time purchase and a phone works without it.
