For events where seats are chosen, not sold
From application to check‑in, without spreadsheets.
KIVO is the platform for organizers of curated, recurring events: participants apply, you choose, they pay straight into your Stripe account, and every status updates itself.
Invite-only. We reply to every request personally.
- Payments straight to your Stripe account
- GDPR by design
- QR code tickets
- Import from CSV or XLSX
The same flow, minus the manual glue
Most organizers hold their events together with forms, emails and copy-paste. KIVO replaces the whole chain.
Before
- The participant fills in a Google Form
- The team reads responses one by one
- Selected people get a payment link by hand
- Someone checks Stripe every hour
- Payment status is copied into Google Sheets
With KIVO
- An event-specific form on your public page
- A review queue with filters, shortlist and waitlist
- Payment invitations sent in bulk, in one click
- Payments confirmed automatically by Stripe webhooks
- One participant profile with their full history
How it works
Four steps, one place
- 01
Publish the event
Build the public page from blocks - text, gallery, FAQ, quotes - and the application form. Both are versioned: edits never touch the live page until you publish.
- 02
Participants apply
Each application creates or updates a persistent profile. Answers stay tied to the exact questions shown when they were submitted.
- 03
You decide
Filter, add internal notes, shortlist or waitlist. KIVO helps you sort - but the decision always stays with people.
- 04
They pay, you get paid
Payment invitations open Stripe Checkout on your connected account. The money goes straight to you, and a QR ticket goes out automatically.
Product
Everything a curated event needs
Review & selection
An application queue with filters, bulk actions, internal notes, shortlist, waitlist and decline.
Stripe Connect payments
Each organization is the merchant on its own Stripe account. Payment status comes from verified webhooks, not redirects.
Tickets & check-in
QR-code tickets, scanning straight from a phone at the door, and attendance and no-show tracking.
Emails & campaigns
Templates, invitations, automatic reminders and full delivery history for every participant.
Reinvites & discounts
Segment eligible past participants and invite them back, optionally with a dedicated discount code.
Dashboards
Every event at a glance: applications, payments, attendance and charts on structured answers.
Your brand
Logo, colours, timezone and language per organization - applied to public pages and emails.
Import what you have
Bring your existing participant list from CSV or XLSX and start with your history intact.
Tickets & pricing
Ticket rules as fine-grained as you need
Every ticket type has its own price and its own rules. Set them up once and KIVO enforces them at checkout.
Multiple ticket types
Standard, reduced, free - as many as you need. Each with its own price, which you can hide temporarily without deleting it.
Hidden tickets, by code or invitation
Prices only for members, partners or guests: unlocked with a code or through an email invitation.
Add-ons tied to another ticket
"Companion" or "Parking" are sold only together with a base ticket, with a maximum for each ticket in the cart.
Limits and sales windows
Limited seats at a price, a maximum per order or per buyer, and a sales window for each ticket.
With approval or direct purchase
Choose per event: people apply and wait for your approval, or buy directly from the public page.
Discount codes
Fixed or percentage discounts, with a name, a code and an expiry date, applied right at payment.
Security & GDPR
Built for sensitive personal data
Participants trust you with personal answers. KIVO treats them that way, from the architecture to the data export.
Versioned consent
Every consent is explicit, timestamped and separated by purpose. Unsubscribing takes one click.
Data subject rights
Data export, retention, deletion and anonymization - as real workflows in the app, not promises.
Isolation between organizations
Every row is protected by Row Level Security. Even platform admins don't see participant data by default.
Audit log
Important actions are audited, and sensitive data never lands in logs, URLs or Stripe metadata.
Who it's for
Designed for organizers who choose their participants
- Conversation circles and facilitated gatherings
- Workshops and retreats with limited seats
- Application-based networking events
- Recurring series with a loyal community
KIVO started from the work of a team of psychologists running recurring events with forms, emails and spreadsheets. Now the whole flow lives in one place.
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer here? Write to us
Who receives the money?
You do. Each organization connects its own Stripe account, and participant payments are created directly on that account. KIVO never holds your money.
Does KIVO decide who gets accepted?
No. The platform helps you filter and see the big picture, but selection is always a human decision.
Can I sell tickets without a selection step?
Yes. Choose per event: participants apply and wait for your approval, or buy a ticket directly from the public page.
Do participants need an account?
No. They apply through a public form, pay through Stripe Checkout and receive their ticket by email.
Can I bring the participant list I already have?
Yes. You can import existing participants from CSV or XLSX, with review steps before you confirm.
Can I work with a team?
Yes. Invite colleagues with different roles - owner, organizer or view-only - and sign-in supports MFA.
Why invite-only?
We set up each organization together with its team: Stripe connection, branding and data import. That way you start right on day one.
