Weezpay – the cashless payment solution for events
Concept description
Weezevent was created in April 2008 and was the first French self-service ticketing solution in the form of online software for event organizers. The software allows to create tailor-made event, offer tickets or invitations online, promote events and manage access control on D-Day. Weezevent created Weezpay following the acquisition of Nemopay in 2015.
Weezpay is a cashless payment solution for events. The application has many features:
- Online account recharging & reimbursement : integrated on event’s website or mobile application
- NFC wristband or card pairing via ticket
- Intra-site access control (VIPs, volunteers)
- Inventory real-time monitoring
How the solution works:
- For event participants, electronic ticket is replaced by a bracelet or card that allows access to an event and consumption on site. Reloadable online before or during the event, this sesame allows participants to move around an event with their hands in their pockets
- For professionals, this solution allows to track sales, manage inventory and accounting in real time, eliminate checkouts, and offer new services to customers
Weezevent counts tens of thousands of event organizers customers of all sizes operating in all event sectors, primarily in Europe and increasingly in Canada.
