Question 1

How do you make money if the platform fee is zero?

Accepted Answer

Right now, we don't. Fever.lol is an open-source project rather than a company, and hosting it costs very little. If a paid tier appears later it will be for things that genuinely cost us money — and the self-hosted version will always do everything the hosted one does.

Question 2

Where does the money actually go?

Accepted Answer

Into your own Stripe or Razorpay account, directly. We are not a merchant of record and we never hold your funds, which also means there is no payout delay to wait on.

Question 3

Can I run this on my own server?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and that is a first-class path rather than an afterthought. It is a Next.js app with a Postgres database — there is a Docker Compose file in the repo and the README walks through it.

Question 4

What happens if two people scan the same ticket?

Accepted Answer

One is admitted and the other is told the ticket has already been used. The check is a single guarded write, so it holds even when both scans land at the same instant.

Question 5

Which currencies do you support?

Accepted Answer

USD, EUR, GBP and INR today. Razorpay covers Indian payments and Stripe covers the rest. More are on the way.
