You're in Complete Control of Your Payouts
This is what makes Shows.ng genuinely different. Your money doesn't sit on a fixed schedule set by the platform. You choose exactly how and when your earnings move — three ways, all available from your dashboard, switchable at any time.
Your Money. Your Rules. Your Timing.
Pick the payout style that fits how you run your events — or switch between them whenever your situation changes.
Automated Payout
Set it once and let it run. Your earnings are automatically transferred to your bank account on a schedule you configure — no manual action needed after each sale.
Hands-freeInstant On-Demand Payout
Need your money right now? Request a withdrawal at any time and get paid immediately — no waiting, no approval queues, no delays whatsoever.
Pay me nowSave Payout for Later
Want to hold your earnings until after the event, or until a specific milestone? Let your balance grow and withdraw on your own terms — whenever you decide you're ready.
On your scheduleHow the Money Flows — Step by Step
From the moment a ticket is purchased to when the money lands in your bank account — here's the complete picture.
Buyer purchases a ticket
Your attendee pays using their preferred method — card, bank transfer, USSD, or online banking. They receive an instant QR-coded ticket. You get a real-time notification on your dashboard.
Your balance grows in real time
Every sale is logged instantly. You can see your total earnings, ticket breakdown, and running balance at any moment — full transparency, zero guesswork about where your money is.
You choose how to receive your money
This is where you take full control. Set up automated payouts on a schedule, request an instant withdrawal right now, or let your balance accumulate until you decide the right moment to withdraw.
Money lands in your bank account
Payouts go directly to your registered bank account. No third-party wallets, no extra hoops — clean, direct transfers when you want them.
"Shows.ng provided our events with ease of payments and great promotion. We were able to collate the data of our attendees easily and they provided the payout at the right time."— Adeluola, Event Organizer on Shows.ng
