Sharfin designed and built our new website to enable us to accept online payments. The new website looks amazing and navigating around it so simple compared to what we had before. Sharfin and his team have always been available when we have required any technical support or assistance.
Event ticketing website design with card payments built in
Sell tickets on your own site with instant e-tickets, capacity limits and next working day settlement.
*Approval time depends on how quickly we receive your documents. Free website for trading businesses processing £5k a month or more on card with our in-house payments, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly from £50 otherwise.
Can event organisers take card payments on their own website?
Yes. An event ticketing website sells tickets directly with instant e-tickets and capacity limits, so no ticketing platform takes a fee per ticket. Because tickets are paid for before the event, providers review ticketing closely. Our in-house payments work with UK event businesses, and eCom Pro builds the site with payments paid out the next working day.

Paying ticket platform fees on every sale?
Ticket platforms take a fee per ticket and hold your money until after the event. Selling on your own site keeps the fees down and the customer data yours, as long as the payments are set up for future dated events.
- Website and payments handled together, by one team
- Payments usually live within 24 hours*
- Next working day settlement, including specialist sectors
- Already declined or closed elsewhere? Tell us on the form, it changes nothing about how we build

Free, pay monthly or payments only for your ticketing business
Free for trading businesses above £5k a month on card with our in-house payments, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly below it or for a custom build. Already have a site you like? Use our payments on their own.
Payments ready, vetted by our payments specialists
Before launch, the same people who handle your payments setup review your ticketing website and ask for any changes your business needs. Every business is looked at individually, which is why we never publish a checklist and never build to one. The site and the payments go live together.
One form starts your website build and your payments.
We check the site as it is built, so nothing is left to chance at launch.
Payments handled in house, usually live within 24 hours* of your documents arriving. Paid the next working day.
Done all our website. It now accepts payments and it was very complex. Reachable at all sorts of odd hours, and had a very simple journey with sharfin. Highly recommend them and their expertise.
Sharfin was an absolute pro. Took time to really try to understand our needs and propose solutions which fit our budget and timescales. He made smart suggestions without being pushy but improving the plan so we didn't waste time or resources on things we don't need.
Every ticketing website we build is checked by people who work with the sector every day, so the pages a payment provider reads are right first time. Payments are handled in house, so there is no separate application to chase.
Events and ticketing website and payment questions
The questions founders ask before they apply, including the ones about Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments.
Can I use Stripe for a ticketing business?
Stripe restricts or reviews events and ticketing businesses more closely under its terms, so many UK ticketing businesses use a specialist provider. Our in-house payments work with events and ticketing merchants. The setup is handled by experienced people, and you are paid the next working day.
Can I use Shopify Payments for a ticketing store?
Shopify Payments runs on Stripe, so the same terms apply. Shopify lets you add a third party payment gateway instead. Our in-house payments connect to Shopify and WooCommerce, so ticketing businesses can take card payments with next working day settlement.
Which payment provider works with events and ticketing businesses in the UK?
Events and ticketing is a specialist category that mainstream providers restrict or review closely. Our in-house payments work with events and ticketing businesses in the UK, with 150+ currencies and next working day payouts.
My payment provider closed my ticketing account, what now?
Download your transaction and customer records first, then talk to a specialist. Our in-house payments work with events and ticketing businesses, the setup is handled by experienced people, and you are paid the next working day. eCom Pro can move your site across while you keep trading.
Do you build for nightclubs and venues?
Yes. Nightclubs and venues with a bar can sell tickets online and take card payments at the bar and door on one payments account.
How quickly can I start taking payments?
Usually live within 24 hours* of your documents arriving, because payments are handled in house. There is no separate application to chase.
Is the ticketing website free?
Free for ecommerce businesses already trading and taking £5k a month or more on card with our in-house payments. Start-ups are looked at case by case. Below that, pay monthly websites start at £50 a month plus VAT and include the same payments and review.
