How Your Attendees Pay
Before money can reach you, your buyers need a seamless way to pay. Shows.ng supports every major payment method — so no ticket buyer ever hits a dead end at checkout.
Debit / Credit Cards
Visa and Mastercard accepted. The fastest option for most buyers — instant confirmation, zero stress at checkout.
Bank Transfer
Pay directly from any local bank account. No card needed — just a transfer and they're booked in.
USSD
Works on any phone, any network. Perfect for reaching audiences everywhere — no smartphone or data connection required.
Online Banking
For buyers who prefer going through their bank's internet portal. Familiar, trusted, and fully supported.
Every transaction is processed through a secure, encrypted payment gateway. Buyers get their QR-coded ticket instantly — and every sale hits your organizer dashboard in real time.
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.
How 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

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — completely. Set up automated payouts on a schedule, request an instant withdrawal at any point, or hold your balance and withdraw later whenever it suits you. All three options are available from your dashboard.
Not at all. With on-demand payout, you can withdraw your earnings at any time — even while ticket sales are still running before the event date.
That's exactly what the "save for later" payout option is built for. Let your balance accumulate throughout the sales period and withdraw the full amount whenever you're ready — before, during, or after your event.
Yes. You have full flexibility to configure your payout preference per event — or change it mid-sales if your needs shift. The control stays in your hands at all times.
Absolutely. All transactions run through an encrypted, bank-grade payment gateway. Buyer card details are never stored on the platform, and your bank account information is fully protected.
As the organizer, you set and communicate your own refund terms on your event page. The support team is available to help mediate where needed — and every transaction is logged for fast resolution.
