Tickets.gfavip.com Overview
This document provides an overview of the tickets.gfavip.com application, designed as a modular mini-app within the GFAVIP ecosystem. It serves as a centralized ticketing solution for community events, replacing manual processes like Google Sheets and Gravity Forms.
Purpose
The main purpose of tickets.gfavip.com is to function like an Eventbrite-style platform tailored for Global From Asia (GFA) events, including community gatherings, partner events, meetups, webinars, and major summits like the Cross Border Summit. It streamlines ticketing by:
- Managing event registrations with dynamic application forms for non-premium users and auto-approvals for premium members.
- Allowing discounts, coupons, and complimentary tickets for members, speakers, sponsors, and affiliates.
- Enabling easy check-in at events via QR codes (scannable on mobile), ticket numbers, or manual lookup using GFAVIP passports.
- Generating customizable e-tickets (PDF/JPG) with unique QR codes, names, and event details for seamless entry and networking.
- Handling complex event types with FOMO marketing features like batch ticket releases, countdown timers, and scarcity messaging to drive conversions.
This app reduces manual chaos in cross-border payments and event management, ensuring a smooth experience for a global community (USA, China, Thailand).
Interconnecting with the GFAVIP Ecosystem
Tickets.gfavip.com is a key modular component of the GFAVIP ecosystem, which supports cross-border business journeys through interconnected apps for connection, learning, and growth. The ecosystem is centered around the Member Dashboard (account.gfavip.com), providing access to all services. Key interconnections include:
- Wallet.gfavip.com (SSO Authentication): Uses the central SSO for user authentication, membership tier checks (free/premium/team), and gems/credits balance queries. Premium users get auto-approvals and discounts, with gems applied for savings.
- Profile.gfavip.com (Profile System): Pre-fills and updates user profiles during applications, ensuring data reuse across the ecosystem (e.g., bio, company for event badges).
- Checkout.gfavip.com (Payments): Handles pending payments (7-day holds, editable deadlines), invoices, and webhooks for status updates (pending to paid). Supports cross-border methods (Stripe, crypto, banks) with coupons and gems redemption.
- Wallet.gfavip.com and Others: Lists active tickets in wallet.gfavip.com for user overview. Integrates with bonus.crossbordersummit.com to check CBS tickets and unlock bonuses (e.g., exclusive content, discounts).
- Other Ecosystem Apps: Shares ticket data with Events Calendar (registration sync), Private Forum (post-event access), Masterminds (attendee networking), and Connect Hub (virtual events). Approved tickets trigger badges in badges.gfavip.com and enrollment in account.gfavip.com for resources.
This modular design (refer to mikesblogdesign.com/gfavip) allows tickets.gfavip.com to communicate data via APIs, enabling seamless event participation and bonus unlocking across the ecosystem.
Roadmap
The roadmap for tickets.gfavip.com focuses on building a scalable ticketing platform, with iterative integrations and enhancements. Key phases include:

- v1.1 - Integrations: Fully integrate checkout.gfavip.com for real payments (invoices, webhooks) and bonus.crossbordersummit.com for ticket-based bonus unlocking (e.g., check CBS ticket status to grant rewards).
- v1.2 - Advanced Management: Enhance admin tools for speakers/sponsors/giveaways, add waitlists with notifications, and improve reports (CSV exports for sales, attendance).
- v2.0 - Expansions: Add multi-language (e.g., Chinese frontend at cn.tickets.gfavip.com), WeChat/SMS notifications, virtual event APIs (Zoom, Events.com), and analytics dashboards. Explore multi-tenant features for partner ecosystems.
This roadmap ensures the app supports growing community events while deepening ecosystem ties.
