Unlike paper or card memberships and tickets, they cost nothing to issue and come with the latest anti-counterfeiting technology, which helps cut costs and prevent fraudulent use. In addition, a digital community feature for membership and ticket holders is available free of charge, so they are also used to raise repeat rates and build fan communities.
Moreover, physical memberships and tickets are often resold at high prices on flea market sites, with the flea market site, not the issuer, making the profit. With HEXA, a royalty mechanism returns up to 10% of the resale price to the issuer, so even if an item gains a premium after issuance and is resold at a high price, the shop earns revenue from it.
Selling costs nothing at all. If nothing sells, there is no cost; only when a digital membership or ticket sells is the prescribed fee deducted from the sale proceeds and the rest paid to you as earnings. Why not give it a try?
Anyone, individual or company, can issue! Apply to issue digital memberships and tickets
