VAT with a 75p minimum per order, not a per-ticket charge. - Default payout comes after the event, so sales money is not available during the campaign unless the Stripe option is set up. - Premium services such as staffing and device hire cost extra and are priced by contacting the company. - The Stripe early-payout option requires a Stripe account and adds Stripe's own transaction fees. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026.

And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. - You could make: QR codes and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door. - You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
