Platform Solution
Ticketing platforms need payments that understand the registration object
A registration is not just an amount. It usually includes ticket tiers, attendee details, quantity controls, add-ons, and last-minute refunds. Flint gives event software a better payment model for that shape of work.

Where Ticketing Platforms Get Stuck
Registrations carry business structure that a raw charge does not
Ticketing and registration software tends to hit payment complexity early because the buyer is often purchasing more than one simple seat at one simple price.
The checkout needs structured registration inputs
Ticket tiers, attendee details, donation add-ons, and special instructions all belong to the registration object, not just to a payment amount.
Hosted pages and embedded flows both matter
Some event products need a fast hosted registration surface, while others need payment deeply embedded in their own branded registration UX.
Refund and change pressure rises near the event
Ticketing teams usually need a cleaner way to explain and process last-minute changes, partial refunds, or canceled registrations.
Flint For Ticketing Platforms
The payment model matches the actual shape of a registration workflow
That is the main reason this category benefits from a more structured approach than generic payment collection.
Ticket-tier and event-aware collection
Hosted event payments can handle ticket tiers, event metadata, and more structured purchasing than a generic pay-now form.
Custom attendee fields
Collect buyer and attendee information as part of checkout rather than bolting separate forms beside the payment step.
Capacity and quantity control
Use event-style configuration when the platform needs more structure around sellout and ticket availability.
Add-ons, donations, and mixed checkout
Ticketing flows often include more than admission, and the payment model should reflect that from the start.
Refunds that point back to the registration
Support and finance get a cleaner trail when changes stay attached to the same payment record.
Embedded or hosted depending on product fit
Start with Flint-hosted event flows or move deeper into embedded collection without changing the broader payment story.
Workflow
Build around the registration record, then choose hosted or embedded collection
That keeps the payment layer aligned with what the buyer is actually buying instead of reducing everything to a generic amount.
Model the registration in structured line items and event fields
Ticket tiers, quantities, and attendee details should be represented directly in the payment flow.
Create the hosted or embedded checkout for that registration
Use the collection surface that best matches how much of the registration UX your team wants to own.
Keep add-ons and mixed checkout inside the same payment record
That matters when the same transaction includes admission, merch, meals, or donations.
Handle changes and refunds from the same context later
That reduces the cleanup work when event buyers change plans close to the date.
Example
const paymentLink = await flint.paymentLinks.create({
mode: "EVENT",
name: "Spring Conference 2026",
lineItems: [
{
name: "General admission",
quantity: 1,
unitPriceMoney: { amount: 14900, currency: "USD" }
},
{
name: "Workshop add-on",
quantity: 1,
unitPriceMoney: { amount: 3900, currency: "USD" }
}
],
eventConfig: {
maxTotalQuantity: 300,
ticketCodePrefix: "CONF"
}
});
// Use custom fields for attendee data and keep refunds,
// quantity changes, and buyer history attached to the same flow.Good Fits
Registration products with more structure than a basic checkout page
This page is aimed at software teams that know their registration object carries meaningful business rules before and after payment.
Conference and event software
Products selling ticket tiers, add-ons, workshops, or sponsorship-style upgrades around a main registration flow.
Camp, class, and tournament registration platforms
Software that needs more than a fixed button payment because attendee details and capacity logic matter.
Community and nonprofit registration tools
When donations, merch, admissions, or supporter fees may sit in the same buyer flow.
Teams that need hosted and embedded options
Products that want a fast hosted event surface now but may later embed more of the flow directly.
Architecture Decision
Ticketing teams usually need payment structure, not just payment acceptance
The real decision is whether the registration object remains visible throughout the payment lifecycle.
