Event ticketing with promoter payouts, $1.6K in 30 days: 5% per ticket
LocalInvitation helps event organizers sell tickets, manage guests and promoters, track performance, and handle payouts. Its $1.6K in the last 30 days is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.
What it actually sells
LocalInvitation combines ticketing, guest experience, and financial infrastructure for event organizers. The product covers event creation, ticket sales, guest lists, mobile check-in, promoter commissions, payout splitting, and performance tracking.
Event organizers can create unlimited events, set multiple ticket tiers, use custom pricing, publish private or invite-only listings, and use branded event pages. The audience is listed as B2C, and the site says the service supports Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
How it charges
LocalInvitation charges a flat 5% on every ticket sold. The site says there is no monthly fee, setup cost, tiered plan, or contract. Its exact pricing statement is: "5% on every ticket sold. No monthly fee, no setup cost, no tiered plans. Keep more of what you earn."

Where customers come from
The site provides an event discovery page under the label "Discover Events →". It also offers branded event pages and embed widgets, which give organizers visible surfaces for sharing and presenting events. The founder-listed audience is B2C, and the founder-listed country is CA.
What stands out
Promoters receive unique referral codes, event-specific commission rates, and automatic payout splitting. Organizers can track sales, revenue, check-in rates, sales channels, and promoter performance from the same product.
The service also removes some physical setup: its site says the mobile ticket scanner needs no extra hardware. Payouts are described as automatic and daily, with the exact statement "Daily automatic payouts to your bank."

Where it sits in the data
LocalInvitation's $1.6K in the last 30 days is higher than 80% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Fintech” category (248 projects) it is higher than 88% (category median $80). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, the buyer is an event organizer who needs to sell tickets and coordinate guests, promoters, and payments in one place. Distribution would need to come from event-related audiences, organizer networks, branded event pages, and embedded widgets; the visible site signals show surfaces for reaching buyers, but not a disclosed acquisition strategy.
The hard parts are payment handling, payout rules, ticket inventory, fraud and refund controls, mobile check-in reliability, and support when events are live. Ticketing also competes with established event platforms and requires trust from organizers whose events depend on accurate access and payment operations.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
LocalInvitation shows a practical product shape: start with one transaction, then add the tools needed to operate the event around it. Ticketing is paired with guest lists, promoter commissions, payout splitting, analytics, branded pages, and embedded distribution rather than being sold as a standalone checkout.
