Why it's free
Ticketing built with zahls.ch

- Connect your zahls.ch account when you sell paid tickets — or start with free tickets only.
- cowtic runs your event, tickets, check-in, and marketing tools. zahls.ch handles secure Swiss payments.
- Examples use zahls.ch Beginners rates (2.9% + CHF 0.30). Above CHF 10,000 ticket volume per event, we can arrange custom zahls.ch pricing.
