Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about running payments, visitor app, and vendor settlement at your show, festival, or fair.
How is Ludo different from other venue and event payment platforms?+
Ludo is purpose-built for high-attendance shows, festivals, fairs, and showgrounds. The platform handles visitor wallet, wristbands, card terminals, and self-service kiosks across vendor sites with automated revenue splits and real-time reporting.
How does vendor settlement work?+
Every transaction is tagged to a specific vendor in real time. Revenue splits are calculated automatically as sales happen. Venue teams and vendors see consistent totals on live dashboards, with fewer spreadsheet handoffs or manual reconciliation required.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. Terminals validate on-device and batch-upload when connectivity returns. If the network drops, supported payments keep working. That is critical for large outdoor showgrounds with uneven connectivity.
How many terminals can the platform support at one venue or event?+
Ludo has deployed 500+ terminals at a single event with 99.9% uptime. The platform scales with your footprint. Whether you're running 50 terminals or 500, each vendor gets the same onboarding flow and the same real-time dashboard.
What is the difference between closed-loop and open-loop payments?+
Visitor wallet systems use a dedicated balance on a card, wristband, or mobile app wallet that can only be spent within the venue or event. Open-loop accepts standard bank cards and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay). Ludo supports both on the same terminal, giving visitors the choice.
