How MERPI works

MERPI is a direct ticketing platform. That means every business listed on the platform, whether it is a cinema, transport company, event organizer, or hotel, has been onboarded and verified directly by Syticks. There are no third-party aggregators in between.

As a merchant, you connect to this verified inventory through the MERPI API and offer ticket purchasing to your customers, while the MERPI Dashboard gives you full visibility into what is happening on your end.

How a Transaction Flows

1

Your customer browses

Your app or website calls the MERPI API to fetch available experiences, movies, routes, or accommodations and displays them to your customer.

2

Your customer selects and purchases

Your customer picks what they want. Your app calls the relevant MERPI purchase endpoint and the ticket is issued.

3

You earn a commission

For every successful transaction made through your integration, you earn a commission. This is reflected in your MERPI Dashboard in real time.

4

You withdraw

Your earned commissions accumulate in your MERPI wallet. You can withdraw to your registered payout account at any time from the Dashboard.

Two Environments

MERPI gives you two separate environments so you can build and test without touching real money or real ticket inventory.

Staging Environment

For development and testing. Uses test API keys and a test wallet that you fund with dummy money from the Dashboard. No real transactions occur here.

Live Environment

For production. Uses live API keys and a real wallet funded with actual money. All transactions here are real.

Always use your Staging API key during development and switch to your Live API key only when you are ready to go to production. Using your Live key during testing will result in real charges.

Environments on the Dashboard

You switch between environments using the toggle at the top of your Dashboard. Everything you see, your wallet balance, transaction history, API keys, reflects the environment you are currently in.

---

Commissions

Every ticket category on MERPI carries a commission that you earn on each successful transaction. Commission rates are agreed on a per-merchant basis and are not publicly listed.

To discuss commission rates for your integration, reach out to us at [e-mail]. Our team will walk you through the structure for each ticket category you want to offer.
