Partnership, Sales and Monetization through api? #54

Closed n8stowell82 closed 6 years ago

n8stowell82 commented 6 years ago

Hello, this is not an issue per se but more of a question for clarification. I am reading through your docs, and cannot understand how the monetization system works. Maybe this is due to my preconceived idea of how the api should work vs how it actually works. I am building a mobile app that I am planning on consuming the list of events from your api to display to my customers. It seems a natural extension to allow the user to be able to purchase tickets directly from within the application. However, I am not seeing any clear documentation on this part one way or the other. I cannot tell how I am supposed to take an interested customer and move them to a paying customer? Am I missing some critical piece of documentation? I have seen the little blip about adding aid to the end of a request, but that is about all I can find about how a "partner" works.

Thank you for your time

@n8stowell82 thanks for your question and interest! We recently rolled out a product called SeatGeek Open (https://enterprise.seatgeek.com/features/seatgeek-open) that allows this capability but only for teams who SeatGeek is the primary ticketing provider for (currently it's scoped to MLS teams like Sporting KC). If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to us here: https://enterprise.seatgeek.com/contact and we'll get you set up
