Why not a ticketing marketplace?
Booking fees are your money.
Stop giving them away.
Third-party ticketing platforms take a cut of every ticket and pass it straight to your customers as a booking fee. Your customer pays more, you never see a penny of it, and the platform keeps their email address for good measure.
GATHR sells tickets through your own Shopify store instead. You set the price, the money lands in your normal Shopify payouts, and the customer stays yours. The only charge is a small per-ticket fee to us, and whether you price that in is up to you.
For venues and promoters who would rather keep the door than rent it.

Who made this
Built by events people, for events people.
GATHR wasn't designed in a ticketing company's boardroom. It comes from people who have stood on a door with a queue round the block, a manager asking how many are in, and a phone on 8%.
- One word, readable at arm's length. IN, STOP or WAIT fills the whole screen in colour, so nobody squints at a phone while the queue backs up.
- Staff use the phones they already have. No accounts, no app, no training. If they can open a link, they can work the door.
- Doors open themselves. Scanning switches on an hour before the start, and staff get their link by email before doors without anyone remembering to send it.
- Managers see the room fill. A venue portal with live numbers, for the person who needs to know how many are in without holding a scanner.
- Refunds don't need a phone call. Refund the order in Shopify and the ticket is cancelled at the door, automatically.
Made in the UK by The Big Click, an independent studio and official Shopify Partner.
How it works
Product to door in three steps
-
Tag a product
Add the tag
event-ticketto any product and fill in the Event Date and Event Venue fields GATHR adds to the product page. Variants become ticket types. Inventory is your capacity. -
Sell as normal
Nothing changes at checkout. Every item bought becomes a ticket with its own QR code, emailed instantly with a link to a permanent ticket page. Refund in Shopify and the ticket is cancelled.
-
Scan at the door
Door staff open a link on any phone and point the camera at the code. One word fills the screen, IN, STOP or WAIT, with the name and ticket number underneath.
At the door
One glance decides it
Every ticket works once. A second scan shows STOP with the time of the first. If a scanner link gets out, switch it off from the event page in one click.
Everything after the sale
Built for the night, not the spreadsheet
A venue portal
A phone-friendly page with live numbers, for managers who want to watch the room fill without holding a scanner.
Door staff, sorted
Add your team once. They get each event's scanner link by email before doors. No accounts and nothing to install.
Sell more than tickets
Tickets sit in the same basket as merch, drinks packages and anything else you sell. One checkout, one order, one payout.
Your customers stay yours
Every buyer is a customer in your Shopify store, ready for your next email, your discount codes and your gift cards. No platform in between.
Ticket types and capacity
Variants are ticket types, inventory is capacity, and the price is whatever you say. All-day events and multi-date runs work too.
Emails in your colours
Sender name, subject line, colours, intro and footer, with a live preview and a test send before the first sale.
Refund-aware
Refund an order in Shopify and the matching tickets are cancelled on the spot. They show STOP at the door.
Everything stays in Shopify
Orders, customers and payments never leave your store. GATHR adds the tickets and the door, nothing else.

Questions
Good to know
How is this different from a ticket marketplace?
A marketplace sells your tickets on its site, adds a booking fee your customers pay, holds the money until it pays you out, and keeps the customer relationship. GATHR sells tickets through your own Shopify store: no booking fee, money in your normal payouts, and every buyer is your customer. You pay GATHR a small fee per ticket instead.
Can I still charge a booking fee?
Yes, if you want to. Add it to the ticket price and it's yours rather than a platform's. Many venues simply keep the all-in price their customers already pay and pocket the difference.
Is GATHR an official Shopify app?
Yes. GATHR is listed on the Shopify App Store and made by an official Shopify Partner. Install it from the listing like any other app, and it bills through your Shopify account.
Do my customers need an app?
No. They get an email with their QR code and a link to a permanent ticket page that opens in any browser. They can show the email, the page, or a screenshot.
Does it change my checkout or theme?
No. Tickets are ordinary products, sold through your existing checkout with the payment methods you already offer. GATHR watches for orders and creates the tickets afterwards.
What does the scanner need?
Any phone with a camera and a browser. Staff open a link, allow the camera, and scan. There is nothing to install and no login, so share links with your team only, and switch a scanner off from the event page if a link gets out.
How do door staff get their link?
Add them by name and email, either for every event or for one event only. They receive the scanner link by email 60 minutes before doors by default, and you can change that in Settings. You can also copy the link and send it yourself.
What happens when I refund a ticket?
Refund the order in Shopify as usual. The matching tickets are cancelled and show STOP at the door. The customer's ticket page shows Cancelled.
What if the same ticket is scanned twice?
The first scan admits, and every later scan shows STOP with the time of the first. Each ticket works exactly once.
Can I run several events, or the same show on several dates?
Yes. Every tagged product is its own event with its own scanner link, staff emails and numbers. For a show on several dates, make one product per date.
Where is my data?
Your orders, customers and payments stay in Shopify. GATHR stores the tickets it creates and the check-in record for each event. See the privacy policy for the detail.
Your next event, ticketed by tonight.
Install from the Shopify App Store, tag a product, and sell your first ticket in minutes. Nothing to build, nothing to buy, and no booking fees for the people who turn up.
