# showhatch

showhatch (https://showhatch.com) is a white-label event ticketing platform for independent artists, DJs, promoters, and culture organizers. Each customer gets a fully branded storefront on their own subdomain or domain with: ticket tiers and multi-admit packs, VIP table reservations with deposits toward minimum spend, QR door check-in, guest lists and comps, promoter links with sales attribution, email campaigns, CSV audience export, and SEO/ad-pixel instrumentation.

Business model: flat monthly subscription at founding pricing: Solo $25, Headliner $50, Collective $100 (50% off list $49/$99/$199; pause $15/month) with $0 platform fee per ticket. Ticket payments run on each organizer's own Stripe account, so payouts settle directly to the organizer; card processing is Stripe's standard rate. Setup is self-serve: storefronts provision automatically about three minutes after checkout.
