Capture Every Attendee. Follow Up on Autopilot.
Most event leads never get followed up. CaptiFi sells your tickets, checks guests in at the door from a phone, captures attendee emails through your event WiFi and sends the follow-ups for you. Every ticket buyer and every WiFi guest lands in the same guest list.
Venues running on CaptiFi
What venues running CaptiFi see
Most Event Leads Never Get Followed Up
You spend thousands on venue hire, speakers, and marketing - but most attendee data gets lost. Without automated follow-up, those leads go cold within days.
Lost Attendee Data
Hundreds attend your event but you only capture a fraction of their contact details. Most walk out anonymous.
Delayed Follow-Ups
Manual follow-ups take days or weeks. By then, attendees have forgotten your event and moved on. The 48-hour window is gone.
No Sponsor ROI Data
Sponsors want lead data and engagement metrics. Without WiFi capture, you can't prove their ROI or justify sponsorship fees.
Everything an Event Organiser Needs
From attendee capture to sponsor reporting - turn your event WiFi into a lead generation machine.
Capture Attendee Emails
Every attendee who connects to WiFi shares their email. Capture hundreds of leads without scanning badges.
Sponsor Splash Pages
Brand the WiFi login page with sponsor logos, offers, and CTAs. Premium sponsorship value with every connection.
Post-Event Follow-Ups
Automated thank-you emails, session recordings, sponsor offers, and next-event early bird promotions.
Real-Time Analytics
See live connection counts, peak engagement times, and attendee demographics during your event.
Sponsor Lead Reports
Generate sponsor-specific lead reports with engagement data. Prove ROI and justify premium sponsorship fees.
Session Promotion
Promote upcoming sessions, breakout rooms, and activities to attendees in real-time through email.
Plug-and-Play Setup
The CaptiFi device plugs into the venue's network by Ethernet; enter its activation PIN and the guest network is live in about five minutes, start to finish. It is built for indoor use; before moving it to a different venue, contact support so it is re-assigned.
GDPR Compliant
Consent capture at WiFi login. Opt-out, export and erasure tools, built for UK GDPR and PECR.
Sell Tickets and Run the Door From the Same Dashboard
CaptiFi Events gives each venue its own public events page. Create an event, add paid tickets or free RSVPs and publish it. Guests pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, get their QR tickets by email, and are checked in at the door from a phone. Events is included on the Growth plan and above.
Paid Tickets and Free RSVPs
Up to 12 ticket types per event, each with its own price, quantity, per-order limits and sales window. Set a capacity for the whole event, keep a type hidden for a private link, or list the event as unlisted so only people with the link can find it.
Paid Into Your Own Stripe Account
Your venue is the merchant, its name is on the buyer's card statement, and Stripe pays out to your bank. CaptiFi never holds ticket money. Tickets are held for ten minutes while the buyer checks out, and go back on sale if the hold lapses.
QR Tickets by Email and in Apple Wallet
Buyers get a confirmation email with one QR code per ticket and a link to their order page, where they can add the event to their calendar. Tickets can go into Apple Wallet, where they update themselves if you move the date and show as used once admitted.
Door Check-In From Any Phone
Door staff scan the QR code or type the ticket number and see a green Admitted, or a red refusal that says why: already checked in (with who admitted it and when), refunded, cancelled or for another event. Each ticket admits once, whichever phone scans it, and a mistaken admit can be undone for five minutes.
Two Doors, One Count
Admitted, remaining and total refresh every ten seconds, so every phone on the door sees the same figures. The door list finds a guest who arrives without their phone by name, order number or ticket number. Give door staff their own team login with only the check-in permission.
Your Events on Your Own Website
Paste a two-line snippet into WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow or plain HTML and your upcoming events appear on your site, in a light or dark look, or one that follows the visitor's device, with your own accent colour. Get tickets opens the event on CaptiFi, where the buyer pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Promoted on Your WiFi
Guests who connect to your WiFi can see your next event on the welcome screen, headed Tonight, Tomorrow or the date, with a See tickets button. The card shows your soonest public event on sale that starts within the next seven days, unless a promotion or a Rewards welcome message is set to show after connecting.
Every Buyer Joins Your Guest List
Ticket buyers are added to your guests with their marketing choice recorded, and the Bought tickets segment lets you message them on their own. Automations send a reminder before the event, a follow-up after it and a message when someone is admitted, and webhooks pass each order and admit to your own systems.
What Ticketing Costs
Free tickets and RSVPs cost nothing and need no Stripe account. Each paid ticket carries a booking fee with card processing included: 7.5% on lower prices, stepping down to 6% and then 4.5% as the ticket price rises, with a minimum per ticket. You choose whether the buyer pays the fee at checkout or the venue absorbs it.
