Use case
Group checkout for selected ticket and event flows.
Give groups a way to commit together where ticket inventory and expiry rules can support a pending group session.
Checkout moment
One buyer is asked to secure every seat.
Groups often choose an event together, but standard checkout asks one person to purchase the full ticket allocation before the others have paid.
Comparison
Before PayShare / With PayShare
Before PayShare
- One buyer covers every ticket.
- The group reimburses them later.
- The buyer carries the risk if somebody drops out.
- The ticketing platform sees one payer.
With PayShare
- The organiser starts a group session for an eligible ticket allocation.
- Each attendee pays their share.
- The ticketing platform applies its own hold and expiry rules.
- Tickets are issued only once every share is paid.
Constraint
Ticket inventory changes the integration.
A ticket flow must define whether seats are held while the group pays, how long the hold lasts, what happens when the session expires, and when inventory returns to sale.
