Beventi started out as a way for authors to easily facilitate pre-orders at book festivals, cons, and other reader-facing events. Over time, as independent bookstores started using Beventi as well, they asked if it would be possible for Beventi to also sell event tickets. So Beventi can now facilitate ticket sales for authors and bookstores, making it possible to purchase event tickets and pre-order books in a single transaction. Learn more about Beventi for vendors.
