How to Switch from Eventbrite to Eventcraft (Step-by-Step)

Switching from Eventbrite to Eventcraft is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.

Step 1: Buy once on Whop

One payment of $39 gets you the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/event-registration-mvp and run it yourself for free.

Step 2: Deploy or run desktop

docker compose up onto a $5 VPS to go public, or npm run desktop for an Electron window auto-logged-in as admin.

Step 3: Paste your Stripe link and sell

Add a Payment Link per tier and attendees pay Stripe directly — Eventcraft never touches the money.

What to expect during the switch

Eventcraft covers the same core workflow as Eventbrite, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.

Why make the switch at all

Eventbrite runs 2.7% + $0.79/ticket, forever. Eventcraft is $39, once. One 500-ticket event on Eventbrite costs around $665 in fees; Eventcraft is $39, and the next event is free.

Try Eventcraft — $39, once

Self-hosted ticketing with tiers, QR tickets, webcam door check-in and auto-promoting waitlists; money runs through your own Stripe link.
