Does the school need a payout account?

Yes. A linked payout account handles the setup for nonprofits and PTAs.

Can we hide the platform fee from parents?

Yes, and it's the default. The fee is set per ticket type; unless you switch a ticket type to pass the fee on, parents see one clean price.

Will-call list at the door?

Print the CSV export or pull up the dashboard on a tablet.

Can multiple parent volunteers help scan?

Yes — add volunteers as org members. Each scans on their own phone.

Built for the spring play.

Free RSVPs for the assembly, paid tickets for the gala, and bulk admission for the PTA dinner. Flat $0.99 per ticket — ticket money goes straight to the school's account.

What hurts

The familiar pains.

School budgets are tight

Percentage fees on a $10 ticket make the gym dance break-even at best.

PTA volunteers shouldn’t need training

If the platform needs an afternoon to learn, the PTA chair is going to use Google Forms again.

Parents skip checkout if it’s slow

Bouncing parents between pages on their phone loses sales.
