What happens when someone pays for your ticket

Understanding the payment lifecycle is important for both hosts and attendees. At Planora, we use SSLCommerz, Bangladesh's leading payment gateway, to ensure every transaction is secure.

1. The Checkout Initiation

When an attendee clicks "Join" on a paid event, they are redirected to our secure checkout page. We collect the necessary details and prepare the transaction payload for SSLCommerz.

2. The Secure Gateway

The user is redirected to the SSLCommerz platform where they can choose from 30+ payment methods, including bKash, Nagad, and local bank cards. Planora never sees or stores your card details.

3. Handshake & Confirmation

Once the payment is successful, SSLCommerz sends a post-back notification to our server. We verify the transaction hash, mark the ticket as paid, and instantly generate a digital ticket for the attendee.

This end-to-end flow typically takes less than 60 seconds, providing a smooth experience for the user and peace of mind for the host.
