Run your events as an organisation, with your team
Give your business its own events, earnings, bank account and payouts. Invite the people who help you and choose what each of them can do.
What the organisation owns
Everything created in an organisation belongs to it, not to the team member who created it. Your personal events stay separate.
- EventsEvents, tickets, add-ons, coupons and waitlists created while the organisation is selected.
- EarningsSales from the organisation's events go to the organisation's balance.
- Organisation bank accountThe Owner adds the account that payouts are paid into.
- Organisation payoutsThe Owner or a Finance team member requests a payout of the available balance.
- Organisation verificationWhen Shows.ng asks for a document, the Owner sends it from the Verification tab.
- ReportsBooking, ticket, add-on, transaction and payout reports, with CSV and XLSX downloads.

Set up an organisation
Creating an organisation takes three steps. A checklist on the organisation overview shows what is left.
Create organisation- Name and country Choose Create organisation in the workspace switcher, then enter the organisation name and country.
- Contact details Add a contact email and, if you like, a phone number. The organisation is created and you become its Owner.
- Invite team members Invite up to five people, each with a team role, or skip and invite them later.
- Add the organisation bank account The Owner adds the account that payouts are paid into and confirms it with a security code.
- Create your first event With the organisation selected, the events you create belong to it.
Switch between Personal and your organisations
The workspace switcher at the top of every organiser page shows where you are working. Your choice stays in place as you move between pages.
- Events, tickets, add-ons and coupons show the selected workspace's items
- Your dashboard opens the organisation overview
- Bookings and reports open the organisation's reports
- Move a personal event into an organisation before it has tickets or orders
Organisation payouts
- One balanceEarnings from every organisation event collect in the organisation's balance.
- Request payoutThe Owner or a Finance team member requests the available balance, paid to the organisation bank account.
- Security codesBank account changes and payout requests are confirmed with a security code.
- Reviewed when neededSome payouts, such as an organisation's first, are reviewed by the Shows.ng team before payment.
Stay in control
- Invitations that expireEach invitation shows when it expires. Revoke it at any time before it is accepted.
- Remove from teamRemoving someone ends their access to the organisation and its events.
- Transfer organisation ownershipHand the organisation to another team member. The transfer happens only after they accept.

Questions
Organisations help guideCan I create more than one organisation?
Yes. Each organisation has its own events, team, balance and bank account. Switch between them with the workspace switcher.
What happens to my personal events?
They stay in your Personal workspace and are paid to your own account. Team members see only the organisation's events.
Can I move a personal event into an organisation?
Yes, if the event has no tickets, add-ons, orders, refunds or payouts yet, and your team role in the organisation can create events. Contact support to move an event that already has sales.
What does an invited team member need?
An active Shows.ng account with a verified email address and organiser access, signed in with the email address the invitation was sent to.
Who can request payouts?
The Owner and team members with the Finance role. Only the Owner can change the organisation bank account.
Can the Owner leave the organisation?
No. The Owner first transfers organisation ownership to another team member, who must accept before the transfer happens.
What happens when an organisation is closed?
New sales, events and invitations stop. Existing tickets, refunds and financial records stay available until everything is settled, and team members keep read-only access to past reports.
