About Platypus

Platypus.Tickets sells tickets for small theatre venues. It was built for the 50-seat end of the world: your events on your own pages, buyers who never need an account, and a flat $1 AUD per ticket sold.

What makes it different

• Your audience stays yours. Platypus lives quietly under your own website — event listings and ticket cards embed straight into your pages. Around your events there are no ads, no "you might also like" suggestions, and no urgency banners: nothing competes with the show.
• Your money goes to you. Checkout charges the buyer through your venue's own Stripe account. Platypus never holds your funds. More detail in Stripe and payments.
• Flat pricing. A fixed subscription plus $1 AUD per ticket sold — the same flat dollar whether the ticket is $15 or $50, and buyers pay the price you set. Free tickets carry no per-ticket fee.
• No accounts for buyers. A buyer picks the tickets they need, pays, and gets a PDF by email. There's no sign-up wall between them and the show.

Who runs it

Platypus is small, Australian-built software, run by Platypus Tickets Pty Ltd (ACN 702 006 399, ABN 62 702 006 399); currency is AUD throughout. It's run for a short list of venues, and staying small is deliberate. Some corners are still MVP: what's built is laid out in Features.

Where are the docs for running a venue?

In the Guide. Developers embedding events into a venue's website want the API reference instead.
