FAQ
All You Need to Know
FAQ
All You Need to Know
FAQ
All You Need to Know
1. Will fans actually use this at a live show?
Yes. Fans are already on their phones at shows. Flashwave gives them a clear reason to engage — buying merch without missing the moment. Our pilots consistently show strong sign-in and conversion rates.
2. Does this distract fans from the performance?
No. Flashwave is designed for quick, focused interactions. Fans scan, order, and get back to the show in seconds. It complements the experience rather than pulling attention away.
3. How much does Flashwave cost?
Flashwave is free to run. We only earn when you sell merch, through a small per-order fee built into each transaction.
4. Do I need extra hardware or staff?
No. Fans use their phones. Your merch team only needs a laptop or tablet to manage pickups. There’s no new hardware or staffing required.
5. What happens if something goes wrong during the show?
Flashwave is lightweight and resilient. Orders are tracked in real time, and teams can always fall back to standard merch table flow if needed. There’s no single point of failure that can disrupt a show.
6. Is Flashwave similar to set.live?
There is some overlap in live engagement, but the focus is different. Flashwave is built around merch commerce and fan data, with engagement designed to drive measurable revenue and insights — not just interaction. The intent around engagement is designed to drive measurable revenue and insights and not just interaction, but the core focus is merch.
7. Is Flashwave similar to AtVenu?
AtVenu focuses primarily on merch sales and inventory. Flashwave combines mobile ordering, in-show engagement, and a CRM layer that helps managers understand demand, fan behavior, and tour performance. Flashwave combines mobile ordering, in-show engagement, and a CRM layer that helps managers understand demand, fan behavior, and tour performance.
8. What is the focus of Flashwave?
Flashwave focuses on increasing merch revenue at live shows while capturing real fan data. We remove friction for fans and give artists and managers tools to run smarter tours.
9. What is the extent of Square integration?
Square is fully supported for payments and order processing. Flashwave layers on mobile ordering, fan identity, SKU tracking, and pickup flow on top of Square. All reporting is done back to square, so that all invenotry and pricing can be managed inside of Square.
10. Does Flashwave support multiple vendors?
Yes. Flashwave can support multiple vendors or merch tables within the same event, depending on the tour setup. They will be treated as independent business units inside of Flashwave with completely independent payment processor integration, order processing and payouts.
11. Do you offer ship-to-home orders?
Not just yet. Flashwave is working to support ship-to-home orders for items that sell out or for fans who prefer not to carry merch during the show.
12. What integrations are coming next?
Upcoming integrations include Shopify, expanded analytics exports, and additional marketing and CRM tools. We prioritize integrations based on real tour needs.
13. Do you actually set up all the data for a tour?
Yes. For pilots and tours, we help set up events, merch catalogs, and reporting so teams aren’t starting from scratch. Our goal is to reduce work, not add to it.
14. Would Flashwave ever have its own POS terminal?
We firmly believe that fan phones and lightweight crew tools are the future of merch sales. Flashwave is designed to reduce hardware dependency, not add more. That said, we are not averse to it, and are open to exploring it if that helps our artists.
15. Do you make merch on the artist’s behalf?
No. Flashwave does not design or manufacture merch. We work alongside your existing merch partners and focus on selling, data, and operations.
16. How did Flashwave start?
Flashwave started from real frustrations at live shows such as long lines, missed sales, and no visibility into fan behavior. We built it alongside artists and tested it live to solve those problems.
