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.
