FOR THE PERSON THROWING IT • Build an event from scratch, from a link, or just by describing it Set tiers that open as the cheaper ones sell out Transfer tickets to your friends, they can only be used once • See sold, remaining and checked-in on one screen, live • Generate passes, guests list, Artists, VIP’s, with comps, plus-ones and perk allotments Discount codes, single-use or shared Add production costs so you can see everything at once • Message everyone holding a ticket when something changes Get an alert on your phone the moment a ticket sells Promoter and Artist profiles Apple Pay and Credit Cards, online and in person with Tap to Pay on iPhone Throwing a free party? Turn on donations and guests can chip in AT THE DOOR Scan tickets with your phone camera. Text a link to whoever is working the door and they scan too. No account, just the app and a PIN you give them. Can't scan a code? Search by name. TAP TO PAY ON IPHONE Sell tickets, drinks and merch to walk-ups with nothing but your iPhone. Your guest holds their card, iPhone or Apple Watch near the top of your phone and the sale is done. No card reader to buy, charge, pair or lose. Enable it once in Account Settings and it's ready at every event you run. Requires iPhone XS or later with iOS 18. THE COUNTER Once a guest checks in and is verified, their menu opens on their phone. They order from where they're standing, you get the order at the counter, and one code covers the whole round. No line, no tab, no card machine. Prop any tablet at the counter and open a link, the order queue runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install on it. DONATIONS Free event? Turn on donations and a card appears on your event page where guests can chip in, with a few suggested amounts or one of their own. Print the Donate code for the door and anyone can scan it and give on the spot. You choose whether the fee comes out of the gift or sits on top. FOR THE PERSON GOING • Buy in seconds as a guest no account, ever, no sign in. We’re tired of that • Tickets live in the app, email and in Apple Wallet • Order from the counter from your seat once you're inside Browse what's on, by soonest, newest, most popular or cheapest WHAT PEOPLE PUT ON WITH IT Club nights and day parties. Concerts, album releases and listening sessions. Comedy, drag, burlesque and open mics. Art openings, markets and pop-ups. Supper clubs and tasting nights. Film screenings and workshops. Fundraisers, block parties and backyard sets. Weddings, birthdays and private parties. Anything with a door, a guest list, or a bar. ABOUT THE FEES One fee per order, not per ticket. Buy four tickets or items together and you pay it once, the more of you there are, the less each person carries. It is the whole reason the fee works the way it does, and it is the opposite of how this usually goes. Organizers keep what they price. No monthly fee, no listing fee, no charge to create an event. Shabanga is built for the organizer that wants to keep the numbers in one place from the tickets to the counter. One payout. No POS, no running power cables, no dealing with wifi. Self healing, if a phone dies, pick up another one and carry on. It’s the whole Shabanga.

Responsibilities that turn into achievements. Giving allowance may become messy: it gets promised, we forget, we lose track of how much we owe each kid, and we end up buying them things "just because" instead of letting them earn it. midom fixes exactly that. Assign tasks that are worth money or points. Set up allowance to pay out automatically every week — with no conditions, or only if your kid hits their points goal that week. You stop having to remember; the app keeps track for you. Beyond money, the points they earn can also be redeemed for rewards from the family's catalog — an extra on top of allowance to keep them motivated. When you buy them something with your card or cash, open midom and deduct it from "their" virtual money — so what you spend on them still counts as part of what they've already earned. With midom you can: • Create tasks and assign them to your kids • Schedule tasks for specific days • Create shared tasks anyone can complete • Assign money or points to each task • Set up automatic allowance, with or without a points condition • Create a rewards catalog they redeem with their points • Adjust the balance when you buy something on your own • Track the balance each child has earned • Check their progress and history • Encourage good habits and responsibility in a simple, fun way midom is free to start. The MIDOM Familia membership (with a free trial) unlocks extra features for parents, like full history and multiple savings goals per child. The money and points inside the app are virtual — midom is not a bank and doesn't handle real money; rewards are agreed on and handed over at home. Fewer reminders. More responsibility. More achievements.
