Changelog

Everything new at Usetix. Product updates, shipped in the open.

  1. Guest list and flexible checkout fees

    Add complimentary named guests without a fake 0€ checkout — they take real inventory and show up at the door by name. Choose whether you absorb the Usetix fee or pass it to buyers, then add your own extra fee if you want one.

    • Named guest-list parties for GA and seated events, with door search and walk-ins
    • Absorb the Usetix fee or pass it to buyers; add a fixed fee, a percentage, or both
    • Account defaults with per-event overrides; dashboard, AI, MCP, and Admin API

  2. Usetix Credit: one balance for more services

    Usetix Credit creates one reusable balance for paid services inside Usetix. It starts by covering platform fees on PayPal sales and lays the groundwork for future services such as Instagram advertising and newsletter sendouts.

    • One pay-as-you-go balance designed for multiple Usetix services
    • Manual or automatic top-ups with a clear, auditable usage history
    • PayPal platform fees are the first use; more value-added services can follow

  3. Optional event end times

    Show only an event's start when the end time is not useful to guests. Usetix keeps an internal end time for scanners, calendars, and event status while hiding it in the shop and ticket embed.

    • Leave the end time empty when creating an event to show only its start
    • Show or hide the end time later from the event settings
    • Use the same control through AI, MCP, and the authenticated Admin API
  4. Separate doors time

    Set when guests may enter separately from the event start. Usetix shows both times in the shop and on tickets, so arrival and showtime stay clear.

    • Optional doors time in event settings
    • Shown in the shop, ticket PDFs, and wallet passes
    • Available through the AI assistant, MCP, and event APIs
  5. Unlisted events

    Keep a published event out of public shop overviews while its direct link and checkout stay live. Ideal for invitations, private presales, and partner campaigns.

    • List or unlist an event from its settings
    • Direct event links and checkout keep working
    • The same control is available through AI, MCP, and the authenticated Admin API
  6. Shop Analytics

    See what actually sells tickets: revenue, conversion, first-touch sources, a funnel, devices, top events, CSV export, AI reports, and Live View with active sessions on a globe. Consent-based, built for organizers.

    • KPIs with period-over-period change and sparklines
    • Conversion funnel and first-touch traffic sources
    • Live View for sale nights and drops
