From cash queues to real-time clarity
A cashless event experience at scale
CurveUp partnered with SWAS Commerce to digitize payments and redemption for a large community event — replacing paper tickets and cash handling with a QR-based smart wallet.

How it works
A simple timeline flow designed for busy events: fewer decisions, faster redemption, and live visibility.
Entry → QR Wallet
Visitors receive a physical QR sticker that becomes their wallet for the day — simple, fast, and familiar.
Top-up stations
Quick top-ups handled at staffed desks across the venue.
Vendor redemption
One-tap redemption at every vendor booth.
Live dashboard
Real-time visibility on spend, balances, and vendor performance.
Before vs After
The shift from cash + paper tickets to a real-time QR wallet delivered speed, accuracy, and calmer operations.
Before — Cash + paper tickets
~3 min transaction time, queue-heavy and manual counting, with 3–5% variance from cash handling errors.
After — QR smart wallet
18s avg transaction time, 99.9% transaction accuracy, 85% less paper waste, and 40h saved in reconciliation.
Testimonials
Voices from the ground — organizers, vendors, staff, and attendees.
“This system transformed how we run events. What used to take our team weeks to plan and days to reconcile now happens in real-time. We can focus on creating amazing experiences instead of worrying about logistics.”
“As a food vendor, I love how fast transactions are now. I can serve twice as many visitors in the same time, and I know exactly how much I've earned by the end of the day. No more counting cash or dealing with change.”
“The system makes my job so much easier. I can register new visitors in minutes, issue their QR stickers, and process wallet top-ups quickly. I feel like I'm actually making a difference in helping the event run smoothly.”
“I loved not having to carry cash around the event. My kids could enjoy the activities without me worrying about losing money. The QR code sticker worked perfectly at every vendor booth, and staff could tell us our balance anytime.”
