Checkin

What Checkin does

Checkin is a Norwegian event-registration and ticketing platform founded in 2008 and headquartered in Kristiansand, Norway, operating with a 1–10 person team. The platform consists of two integrated offerings: the Checkin Event Platform, an organizer-side tool for event management, ticket sales, and attendee registration, and CheckinPay, a proprietary payment processing system that handles thousands of daily transactions for event organizers. The platform also exposes a public transaction-search tool so that attendees charged by CheckinPay can identify the event associated with a charge, reducing chargeback and support friction.

Checkin targets event organizers as its primary customer segment (vertical segmentation) and event attendees as a secondary segment. The platform is branded "The accountant's choice," emphasizing financial accuracy and ease of reconciliation as core functional differentiators. Distribution is entirely self-serve via the Norwegian-language websites (checkin.no, checkinevent.com) and the app portal (app.checkin.no), with no evidence of sales-led motion or partnerships.

The business model is transaction-based: Checkin generates revenue through processing fees on payments routed through CheckinPay for events using the Checkin registration system. The company operates exclusively within Norway, with no disclosed international footprint, funding rounds, M&A activity, or named institutional customers in the available data. It is a private, profitable-or-self-funded micro-operator with a narrow vertical focus on the Norwegian event-ticketing niche.

Core offering

Checkin provides an event registration and ticketing platform that enables Norwegian event organizers to manage events, sell tickets, and process payments through its integrated CheckinPay payment system. The self-serve platform is branded as 'The accountant's choice' for its financial reporting accuracy, and includes a transaction search feature that allows attendees to identify charges from CheckinPay on their bank statements.

Product overview
