Step by step: how to switch from Eventbrite, from your export and import to check-in at the door.
Yes, you do it yourself in a few steps. Export your orders from Eventbrite as a CSV or Excel file and upload it at Import in your SwarmTix dashboard. SwarmTix creates each event as a private draft with its ticket types and orders, and keeps the original barcodes, so tickets you already sold still scan at check-in. The import sends no emails to your buyers.
You connect your own Stripe account. When someone buys a ticket, the money goes directly to you (minus our small fee). No waiting until after your event.
No monthly fees. No minimums. You only pay our per-ticket fee ($0.99 + 1.5%) when you actually sell tickets. Free events are completely free to host.
Yes. Online events run on the Virtual plans (from $28/month billed yearly, 14-day free trial) with native Zoom, YouTube, and Vimeo integrations and automatic attendee access. In-person events are $0.99 + 1.5% per paid ticket with no monthly fee.
Follow the switch from Eventbrite guide (export, import, Stripe, check-in) and the guides in the Help Center. If you get stuck, write to us from the contact page.
