A prepaid event is a booking: a client - a company, a club, a couple getting married - hires a vendor for a set window and pays for what the guests eat and drink, on whatever terms the two of them agree.
On the day, guests order from their own phones. Nothing at the event is for sale: there are no prices, no cards and no payment step. The order goes straight to the vendor, and the guest gets a message when it is ready to collect.
It is the same ordering flow Slipp runs at festivals, with the paying part taken out.
The company and the vendor agree the window, what is on the menu and what each guest gets. The vendor sets it up in Slipp as a prepaid event.
On the day, a guest opens the vendor’s page and signs in with their email. Anyone on the guest list gets in too, and the counter can admit someone with one tap.
The event menu shows no prices and there is no payment step. The guest places the order and gets a message when it is ready to collect.
When the event is over, the vendor ends it and pulls the consumption report - what was actually ordered, item by item.
Access runs on email. The vendor sets an email domain that belongs to the event - everyone writing from @company.com, say - and/or a list of individual addresses that are allowed to order.
A guest list covers everyone else: consultants, partner-agency staff, plus-ones, or someone whose Slipp account is on a personal address. Domains and the guest list work together, not instead of one another.
And if someone is standing at the counter who is on neither, the vendor admits them with one tap. Nobody outside the event can order.
An allowance group is a plain description of what the client has agreed to cover per head - for example "1 burger" and "3 drinks per guest". Each group covers a set of items on the event menu, with a quantity per guest.
Guests see what they have left while they order, so the counter never has to say no. Anything on the event menu that is not in a group has no limit - the vendor curated that menu, so a coffee refill or a bottle of water can simply be open to everyone.
For example
Slipp records every order placed through it at the event, so nobody has to reconstruct it afterwards. The report runs live during the event and is final once it ends: how many orders, and how many of each item.
How the vendor bills the client is between the two of them - the report is there if it helps. It covers what went through Slipp, so anything handed over at the counter outside it will not appear. Counts and quantities only, never values.
No payment is taken at a prepaid event - the client pays the vendor directly, the way they always have. So a vendor can run a complete prepaid event before setting up payouts at all.
It is the quickest way to see Slipp work at a real event. Taking paid orders at a festival or market needs the payout setup; a prepaid event does not.
Vendor guide: setting up a prepaid eventSlipp invoices the vendor 10 DKK excl. VAT per order placed at the event, once the event has ended. Guests are never charged anything, and there is no setup fee and no subscription.
Most vendors offer mobile ordering to the client as an optional extra in the quote, which covers the fee and gives the client a queue-free event. Tell us about the event and we will help you price it.
