How It Works
One QR code is all it takes. No app, no clipboard, no data lost.
For Artists
Create a Show (60 seconds)
Enter your show details — artist name, venue, date, time. Add an optional set-list poll, a prize drawing, or load your merch. Your branded QR page is generated instantly.
Logo, colors, and artist name appear on the fan opt-in page automatically.
Deploy Your QR & Go Live
One click prints a ready-made QR poster for the merch table and bar, or put the Stage Screen on the venue TV — a giant scannable code with a live fan counter. Then open Show Night mode on your phone and watch opt-ins, merch orders, and poll votes roll in all night.
No app required. Works on any smartphone, no account for fans.
Fans Order Merch Right There
From the same QR page, fans can browse your merch and place an order — item, size, quantity. Orders show up on a live fulfillment board you run from the table: mark ready, fulfilled, or substituted.
One scan handles the email capture AND the merch sale.
Run the Extras — Drawings, Polls & Teases
All optional, all yours to design. Turn on a prize drawing with any prize you want — every scan is automatically an entry, and the winner reveals on the venue's big screen. Or run a set-list poll and let the room vote on what you play. Fans earn Stage Points and badges either way.
Use them when they fit the night — the fan capture works with or without them.
Wake Up to Your Report
By 10AM the morning after your show, you have a formatted PDF and CSV in your inbox with every fan who opted in — plus a one-tap thank-you email to all of them and a shareable recap card for your socials.
No login required to get the basics. The report comes to you.
For Venues
Get Your Forever QR
Your venue gets a permanent QR code that never changes between shows. Place it at your bar, entrance, and tables. It's always live — every night grows your list.
Unlike artist QR codes (show-specific), your venue QR is always on.
Patrons Opt In — You & the Artist Get the Data
When a fan scans the QR at your venue, you get their opt-in data AND so does the artist playing that night (if they're also on StageOwn). One scan, two databases.
This is co-capture — the defining advantage of StageOwn for venues.
Sell House Merch From the Same QR
Koozies, hats, gift cards — whatever's behind the bar, patrons can order it right from the same QR they scan to opt in. Orders land on a fulfillment board your staff runs from the bar or door.
One QR code, two jobs: grow the list and move product.
Weekly Digest, Every Monday
See who came in, how many were returning patrons, where they're from, and which artists drove the most opt-ins — all in a single digest emailed to you every Monday.
No daily login required. Your data is there when you need it.
Build Your Patron CRM Over Time
Every visit is tracked. Search, filter, and export your patron list. See repeat visitors, city breakdowns, source attribution (QR vs. direct link), and automatic visit-milestone badges at 1, 5, 10, and 25 visits.
The more nights you run, the more valuable your patron database becomes.
