Try POCtix as your buyer would.

No applications, no signups, no scheduled demos. Click the link below to walk through a live sample event exactly as one of your customers would. You'll see the event page, the checkout, the confirmation email, the QR pass, and what door scan looks like.

Live sample event — actually buyable.

Click through to "POCtix Demo: Friday Night Sample Show." Browse the page, add a ticket to cart, optionally complete the $1 checkout to experience the full flow.

⚠ Quick honesty: the demo ticket is $1 because Stripe Checkout requires a minimum charge of $0.50. If you complete the purchase to experience the full buyer flow, email [email protected] with "demo refund" in the subject and we'll refund you within minutes. Most prospects just browse the event page without completing checkout, which is also fine.

What you'll see, step by step

1

The event page (/e/demo)

This is what your buyers land on when they click your event link. Clean layout, mobile-optimized, ticket tiers listed with capacity. Pure HTML — loads in <500ms even on a slow 4G connection in the back of a Chinatown bar.

2

The checkout (Stripe Checkout)

Click "Buy" — you'll be redirected to Stripe Checkout, the same checkout used by millions of US merchants. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay all work. Stripe handles 3-D Secure, fraud, declines. You can stop here without completing if you don't want to be charged $1.

3

The confirmation page (/passes/{order_id})

If you complete checkout, you're redirected to a page showing your QR pass(es) immediately. Apple Wallet button will activate once our cert is live this week. You can also access this page anytime via the magic-link login flow.

4

The email (arrives within ~10 seconds)

Full HTML confirmation: event hero image, venue logo, all event details, inline QR code (works offline in your email client, no remote fetch needed), "Add to Apple Wallet" button. Plain-text fallback for clients that don't render HTML.

5

The scanner (what your door staff sees)

The door scan UX is at /scan — it's gated behind admin auth for real events, but you can read the scanner architecture and offline-mode details in our how-it-works guide, section 3.

If you want a guided walkthrough instead

Email [email protected] with "demo walkthrough" in the subject. We'll set up a Zoom or Google Meet at a time that works in HST (we're in Honolulu — typically Mon-Fri afternoons HST work best). Bring your specific questions about your event type, ticket prices, and operational concerns. 20-30 minutes max.

If you're ready to skip the demo and apply

Apply to join takes about 90 seconds. Same-day approval most of the time, never longer than 1 business day. Your first event is free (we waive the $2.00 fee on your first 100 tickets sold — see the POCtix promise for details).

Honest pricing. A flat $2.00 per ticket — that's all POCtix takes, whether the ticket is $5 or $500. You pay the same standard card processing (2.9% + $0.30) you'd pay on any platform, and the money lands straight in your own Stripe account. No percentage cut, no buyer-facing service fee — so on a typical event ticket your all-in cost lands well below Eventbrite, and the savings grow the higher your ticket price.
