Does Map D include built-in event ticketing software?

Yes—sell tickets, add-ons and group packages from the same dashboard powering your floor plan and app.

What fees are charged per ticket?

Transparent per-ticket fees plus optional credit-card processing; pass costs to buyers or absorb them.

Which payment gateways can we use?

Stripe, Authorize.Net and PayPal come standard; custom gateways connect via API.

Can we create discount codes or group rates?

Unlimited promo codes, tiered pricing and bulk discounts are built in for marketing flexibility.

Is the platform PCI-DSS compliant?

All transactions route through Level 1 PCI-certified processors, keeping card data off your servers.

Can attendees transfer or refund tickets?

Organizers can enable self-service transfers and refunds within preset rules, saving staff time.

Does ticketing sync with on-site check-in?

Yes. Every sold ticket has a Scan Code, printed on its badge as a QR code or barcode, and the Map D scanner app checks it in at the door and at sessions and can print badges on the spot.
