Can I sell tickets to a book launch?

Yes. Offer as many ticket types as you need, each with its own price and number of places. Free for organizers. The per-entry fee is added at checkout and paid by the participant.

Can I see who's coming?

Yes. See everyone who's registered, with the details and answers they gave, and export your registration list to CSV or Excel.

Can I check people in at the door?

Yes. Every ticket has a QR code. Scan it with the Laces app to check people in, and invite your team to scan with you.

Do I need to create a ticket for a free meeting?

Yes. Your event goes live once it has at least one ticket type, and a free ticket counts. Create one free ticket, then share the link.
