Made in Barbados
Bajan-owned. Handled at home. Paid in days.
BimTikit is Bajan-founded, owned and run by Bajans. Your tickets sell in Barbados dollars, your payout is handled by our team right here on the island, and your share comes back to you within days of your event. Not two or three months later.
Bajan-owned
Founded, owned and run by Bajans
Born here and run from here: BimTikit was founded here and is owned and run by Bajans, right here at home. We know how events on this island work, from the first flyer to the last scan at the gate, and when you need us, a real person from here answers.
Handled at home

Your tickets sell in Barbados dollars, and card payments are processed securely by our payment partner. Your payout is handled by our team right here in Barbados, and your share is paid to you in Barbados dollars.

No calls, no paperwork. You fill in one form; we do the setting up.

- Us
- Your draft saves on your phone as you go.
usually within 1-3 days

The day you go live
Step 3: Confirm the plan and start selling
- You
- Review your page and accept your new event's organiser agreement. Choose BimTikit or your own website for ticket sales, then share your link.
- Us
- We set up your promoter portal, accept the same agreement and email your copy. It goes on sale once everything is confirmed with you; either website uses BimTikit checkout.
After you submit, your request shows as Submitted, then In review, then Approved, on its own status page.

Start your eventWhat you get
Everything for your event
An event page shaped around your event
Your event name, description and flyer guide the page's layout, colours and sections. Fine-tune it in your portal's designer; automatic updates do not overwrite your manual design edits.
Registration that reserves the tickets
Let people register for tickets or packages before sales open. Their actual quantity is held, and a personal purchase email goes out at launch. Set a payment window such as 3, 7 or 30 days from the invitation, capped by sales closing; unpaid stock returns to sale at the deadline.
One page for the whole weekend
Group your events on one landing page. Patrons can buy individual nights or a weekend package, with one reusable QR pass per person that admits them once to each included event.
Sell from your own website too
Choose BimTikit or your own website as the event's sales destination. Add our ticket/package selector or checkout links to your site; payments, ticket delivery and reporting still run through BimTikit. Your event can stay listed here and link visitors to your website.
Group purchases, individual tickets
Mark couples and group offers with the number of people they admit. Each person gets an individual QR ticket or weekend pass. Require recipient details at checkout, or let the buyer enter names and emails now and share later from their confirmation email, with a record of who each ticket was sent to.
Online and printed tickets together
Sell online, and ask for printed tickets for outlets and the door. BimTikit prints them with the same secure QR, and online and printed tickets draw from separate allocations, so no place is sold twice.
A scanner that works at the gate
Our door scanner runs in the browser on your team's phones, checks ticket validity and records admission. Offline checks can continue when the signal drops; reconnect devices to sync admissions across the team.
Nothing goes on sale until it's right
Your event starts as a private draft. BimTikit reviews it and puts it on sale once everything is confirmed with you. For new events, both parties accept the exact organiser agreement before sales begin, and receive a copy by email.
Food and drink pre-orders, in your order
Take food and drink pre-orders at checkout, arrange your menu by dragging items into order, and let your team record each handover with the ticket scanner.
Your team, invited properly
Add door and bar staff by email invite. Each person signs in as themselves.
Know how you're doing
See how many online tickets you've sold and what's owed to you in your promoter portal. Follow orders and attendees, export your guest list, and check your statements.
Choose who pays the Processing Fees
Request buyer-paid fees, a 50/50 split or fees absorbed by you. BimTikit approves the arrangement and percentage before sales, and your checkout totals, statements and net proceeds use that approved choice.
A way back after a failed payment
The owning promoter or BimTikit can review a verified failed-payment attempt and send the buyer an apology with a fresh purchase link. It is not sent to everyone who browsed or left a cart, and returning buyers see current prices and availability.
Ready to share
Get your event link with captions already written, plus QR posters and story graphics that send people straight to your page. Create tracked referral links and review their visits and paid sales.
A door-day checklist
Run through what needs to be ready before the gates open, then watch the door live on the day.

Questions
Good to know
What kinds of events can I host?
Any event people pay to get into. Parties, cruises, concerts, comedy, theatre and sports. Seminars, workshops, conferences, fundraisers and family days. Church and gospel events too. If you're charging for entry, BimTikit can sell the tickets.
How long does review take?
Usually within 1-3 days. We'll email you as soon as we've looked at it.
Do I need an account?
You'll make a BimTikit login in the form and confirm your email with a 6-digit code. Already have one? Just sign in.
Can I change things after I submit?
If we need anything changed we'll tell you what, and you can update and resubmit. You can withdraw a request while it's pending.
When does my event go on sale?
Approved events start as a private draft. For a new event, you and Blackwall Interactive Inc. (BimTikit) each accept the same organiser agreement, including the approved fees and payout date, and receive an emailed copy. BimTikit puts the event on sale once everything is confirmed with you.
Can people register before tickets go on sale?
Yes. Set up registration for a ticket or package and reserve each registrant's actual quantity. They receive a personal purchase invitation when sales open. Choose a payment window such as 3, 7 or 30 days from that invitation, capped by sales closing. Unpaid stock is released at the deadline. The reservation holds availability; the current price and Processing Fees are shown before payment.
Can I sell tickets from my own website?
Yes. Choose your website as the sales destination and add BimTikit's ticket/package selector or checkout links. Buyers still complete payment through BimTikit, which issues the tickets and keeps your sales reporting together. Your event can remain listed on BimTikit with a link to your site. We provide a step-by-step setup guide in your event's website-sales settings.
How do weekend events and packages work?
Group your events under one weekend landing page. Buyers can choose individual events or an available package. A weekend package gives each person one reusable QR pass, valid once at each included event; scanning it on one night does not use up their admission to the other included nights.
Can buyers send group tickets to their friends?
Yes. Identify how many people each group ticket or package admits, and each person receives their own QR ticket or weekend pass. You can require recipient names and emails at checkout or make them optional. Buyers can send tickets straight away or use the sharing button in their confirmation email later, and check who each ticket has already been sent to.
Can I customise the event page?
Yes. Your event's name, description and flyer help shape its layout, colours and sections. Use the designer in your promoter portal to fine-tune the page. Automatic updates do not overwrite your manual design edits; explicitly regenerating the page asks before replacing them.
Who pays the Processing Fees?
Request buyer-paid fees, a 50/50 split or fees absorbed by you. BimTikit approves the arrangement and percentage before sales. Checkout, your statements and your net proceeds reflect that approved choice.
Can you help a buyer whose payment failed?
The owning promoter or BimTikit can review a verified failed-payment attempt and send an apology with a fresh purchase link. This is a controlled action, not an automatic email to everyone who left a cart. The link starts a new checkout with current availability and prices; it does not charge the buyer or reserve stock by itself.
Can I sell printed tickets?
Yes. Tell us how many printed tickets you want for each ticket type and BimTikit prints them, each with its own secure QR. Online and printed tickets draw from separate allocations, so no place is sold twice, and every ticket is checked by the same door scanner.
What does it cost?
It costs nothing to apply. We'll send our rates with your approval. We'll confirm everything with you before anything goes on sale.
Who owns BimTikit?
Bajans. BimTikit is owned and run by Bajans, here in Barbados, so the people behind your tickets know how events on this island run.
Who handles the ticket money?
We do, right here in Barbados. Tickets bought on BimTikit are sold in Barbados dollars and card payments are processed securely by our payment partner; your payout is then handled by our team on the island and paid to you in Barbados dollars. Printed tickets you sell yourself never pass through BimTikit.
How fast do I get paid after my event?
Within days, not months. Your settlement date is agreed with you when your event is approved, before a single ticket goes on sale, and it is usually about a week after your event ends. You can follow what you're owed live in your promoter portal.
Who do I talk to?
Email support@bimtikit.com and a real person will help you.
