Answers to the questions organizers ask most before and while running an event on Ytno. Can't find what you need? Email us or message us on WhatsApp.
Ytno is a guest management platform built for Nigerian event organizers, covering the full guest lifecycle: invite, RSVP, signed QR pass, and check-in at the door. It replaces fragile WhatsApp threads and spreadsheets with one system.
Ytno doesn't run an open public ticket marketplace. Every event is closed-list by default: guests get in by invite, RSVP, application, or a ticket link the organizer controls, so only people the organizer has actually let in can reach the RSVP form. This keeps gatecrashers out and the guest list accurate.
Organizers send guests a personalized invite link. When a guest fills out the RSVP form, Ytno verifies the details and issues a signed QR pass immediately, viewable right on the guest's phone with no app install required. Organizers see confirmations, declines, and pending responses on a live dashboard as they come in.
At the door, staff scan each guest's QR pass with the check-in app. Scans work even without an internet connection; the app syncs automatically once signal returns. When a guest is scanned at one gate, every other gate on the same event knows instantly, so a pass can't be scanned twice.
Ytno supports both free, invite-only RSVP events and paid, invite-gated ticketed events. Paid events are processed through Paystack, and a signed pass is issued as soon as payment clears. Either way, the event stays closed-list. Ytno never opens a paid event up to unrestricted public sale.
Pricing is per-event, based on guest count, with a free tier for events up to 50 guests. Larger events move into paid bands as guest count grows, and organizers running events regularly can move to a monthly subscription plan instead of paying per event. Selling tickets carries a platform fee on ticket sales, on any plan. See the pricing section on the homepage for current bands and plans.
Invite links, reminders, and confirmations are sent primarily over WhatsApp, so guests don't need to download anything to receive or respond to an invite.
