Your event store just got faster and more flexible. TicketSignup now supports Apple Pay checkout and Apple Wallet for Standalone Store purchases, making it easier for attendees to buy merchandise, add-on experiences, drink tickets, and other items. TicketSignup makes it easy to upsell add-ons during checkout, but offering standalone store items on-site gives organizers another way to boost revenue. Fast checkout ensures a frictionless purchase experience, and Apple Wallet makes fulfillment with the Ticket App seamless.
Faster Checkout with Apple Pay
More than 35% of TicketSignup checkouts already use Apple Pay. Extending Apple Pay to standalone store purchases means attendees can complete transactions just as quickly as they do when buying tickets or making a donation. Furthermore, Apple Pay automatically captures and sends purchaser name and email address to TicketSignup’s store orders report without attendees entering any information. No card entry, no wasted time – just one tap to pay.
Easy Fulfillment with Apple Wallet
Attendees can also add standalone store purchases directly to their Apple Wallet. This makes fulfillment simple with the Ticket App, whether you’re scanning QR codes for drink tickets, checking in add-on attraction experiences, or distributing merchandise.
To enable Apple Wallet for store items, go to Store >> Store Setup >> Manage Standalone Store Settings.
Finally, check the option to enable Apple Wallet, then click Save Settings.
Note that items purchased with tickets or via self-serve add store items are automatically included in the ticket QR Code.
Event Use Cases
There are many examples of how events use the standalone store to sell items on site. Attendees are often more willing to make additional purchases once they’re on site, since these feel separate from the upfront ticket cost. While TicketSignup makes it easy to upsell add-ons during ticket purchase, offering standalone store items at the event lets organizers capture extra revenue. A $30 hoodie or an extra drink ticket that felt like too much at checkout may feel like an easy purchase once on site.
- Haunts that sell add-on attractions and bonus scares. These enhance the main event while keeping attendees on-site longer (and spending more).
- Holiday light shows may sell extras like hot chocolate mugs, glow sticks, or photos with Santa to create more revenue per visitor.
- Beer, wine, or food festivals often use extra drink or tasting tickets sold on-site. This encourages attendees to keep buying beyond their initial package.
- Music festivals maximize revenue with on-site merchandise, branded souvenirs, exclusive artist merch drops, and food/beverage upsells.
TicketSignup’s inventory and Ticket App fulfillment capabilities make this seamless to manage between online pre-sales and on site purchases.
How TicketSignup Helps Events Make More Money with Store
TicketSignup makes selling add-ons on site seamless with a comprehensive set of features.
- QR codes to create signage per item for attendees to buy from their own phones
- Apple Pay for fast checkout
- Apple Wallet to easily add QR codes for store purchases to digital wallets

The store is a powerful way for events to make more money, and increase their revenue per ticket sold without adding extra overhead for on site staff.
