Events where
everyone actually
shows up.

ShowUp turns attendance into a commitment. Hosts create events, guests pay to join — and no-shows redistribute their fee to everyone who attended.

How It Works

Simple. Fair.
Accountable.

01
Host Creates an Event

Set the details, pick a currency, choose your entry fee, and decide if it's public or invite-only. Your event goes live instantly.

02
Guests Pay to Join

Guests browse events, pay the entry fee via Stripe, and unlock access to the event's group chat channel.

03
Check In at the Event

Scan the host's QR code and let GPS confirm you're there. Dual-factor check-in means no gaming the system.

04
No-Shows? You Get Paid

After the event, no-show fees are split equally among everyone who attended — including the host. Commitment is rewarded.

Built for Everyone

Whether you're hosting
or joining, ShowUp
has you covered.

For Hosts

Run events that people actually attend.

Stop planning events around no-show anxiety. When guests have skin in the game, they show up — and you get rewarded too if they don't.

  • Create public or private invite-only events
  • Set any entry fee in any supported currency
  • Built-in event group chat from day one
  • QR code check-in display — no extra tools needed
  • Mark attendance and trigger payouts in seconds
  • Earn a share of no-show redistribution as the host
H
For Guests

Show up.
Get rewarded.

Pay to join, commit to attending, and follow through — then watch your wallet grow every time someone else doesn't.

  • Discover public events or join via invite link
  • Secure Stripe payment — multiple currencies supported
  • Instant access to the event's group chat
  • Simple QR + GPS check-in on the day
  • Earn a bonus payout for every no-show
  • Open a support chat with the host if needed
G
The Redistribution Engine

No-shows fund
the people who
showed up.

Happens automatically

Once the host confirms attendance, the redistribution engine calculates and sends payouts instantly via Stripe — no manual steps required.

Host is always included

The host earns a share of the redistribution pool too — because they showed up, ran the event, and made it all happen.

Verified. Transparent. Fair.

Attendance is confirmed by dual-factor QR + GPS check-in, so every payout is backed by verified presence. No disputes about who was really there.

Everything You Need

Packed with features
that matter.

01
Event Group Chat

Every event gets a real-time group chat channel the moment it's created. Guests join automatically when they pay.

02
Phone Login (OTP)

No passwords, no email. Sign in with just your phone number and a one-time code. Fast and secure.

03
Multi-Currency

Hosts choose their event currency from all Stripe-supported currencies. Pay and get paid in your local currency.

04
Invite-Only Events

Keep events private with a unique invite link or code. Only people you invite can find and join.

05
Instant Payouts

Redistribution bonuses land in your Stripe Connect account automatically — no chasing anyone for money.

06
Dispute Support Chat

Think you were marked absent by mistake? Open a 1-on-1 support chat directly with the host to resolve it.

07
Interactive Event Map

Every event has a map pin so guests know exactly where to show up. Get directions with a single tap.

08
Smart Notifications

Get notified about new guests, event reminders, check-in confirmations, and payout receipts.

Dual-Factor Check-in

Attendance you
can trust.

QR scan confirms you're at the right event. GPS confirms you're actually there. Both required — no shortcuts.

I

Arrive at Venue

Head to the event location. GPS starts tracking proximity to the venue coordinates.

II

Open ShowUp

Open the app and tap Check In on your event. The camera activates.

III

Scan QR Code

Point at the host's QR code. The app reads the unique event token instantly.

IV

Verified

QR matches + GPS within range equals confirmed attendance. You're in.

Early Feedback

People love
showing up.

I used to dread planning group dinners because half the people would cancel last minute. With ShowUp, every single person actually came. Life changing.

I paid $15 to join a fitness bootcamp, two people didn't show — and I got $10 back. I literally made money by just showing up. That's brilliant.

The QR check-in is seamless. I showed the code at the door, everyone scanned in 30 seconds, and the payouts landed before we finished our first drinks.
