Exhibitio

Exhibitio is a commerce platform for exhibitions, expos, markets, and trade shows. Organizers can sell tickets, exhibitor booths, and sponsorships, while managing applications, approvals, and booth assignments. Event operations tools cover registration, check-in, badge printing, orders, invoices, and budgets. Payments run through each organizer’s connected Stripe account, with sales settling directly there; Exhibitio says it does not hold buyer funds or see or store card numbers. Booth and sponsorship sales can use scheduled installment plans collected through Stripe. The platform integrates directly with Xero and can connect to Meta Ads, Google Ads, ExpoFP, or an AI assistant. AI features can draft event copy, answer buyer questions using published event details, and extract supplier invoice information for human confirmation. A customer service agent handles buyer questions around the clock and passes uncertain questions to the organizer. Exhibitio offers a free ticket fee at no cost ticket sold and charges $0.99 per paid ticket sold. Other listed fees include $15 per booth sold and $25 per sponsorship sold. The site invites users to pre-register for an iOS app described as coming soon to the App Store.

Exhibitio covers event commerce and operations, with buyer payments routed through an organizer’s Stripe account. Review the per-sale fees and the iOS app’s coming-soon status when deciding whether it fits your event workflow.

Exhibitio suits organizers of exhibitions, expos, markets, and trade shows who need to manage sales and event operations. It may also fit organizers that use Stripe and Xero.

Exhibitio combines ticketing, exhibitor sales and event administration for exhibitions, expos, markets and trade shows. It suits organizers that need one workspace for applications, booth allocation, payments and event-day logistics. The strongest case is a commerce-heavy event operation comfortable with Stripe-based, per-transaction pricing.

Overview

Exhibitio treats an event as both a storefront and an operating system. Organizers can sell admission, exhibitor booths and sponsorships while processing applications and approvals. That breadth is more relevant to trade-show and market producers than to teams running a simple RSVP page.

The payment model keeps funds in the organizer’s connected Stripe account, rather than in an Exhibitio balance. That can simplify settlement ownership, but the organizer remains exposed to the listed Exhibitio fees on each relevant sale and query.

Key features

Sales tools cover tickets, booths and sponsorship packages, with application forms, approval workflows and booth assignment. Registration, check-in and badge printing address arrival operations. Orders, invoices and budget tools extend into back-office administration, so the service is aimed at running the whole event rather than only publishing a listing.

Booth and sponsorship purchases can use scheduled installment plans collected through Stripe. This is useful when exhibitors or sponsors need staged payments instead of one charge. Xero integration connects the platform with accounting, while Meta Ads, Google Ads, ExpoFP and an AI assistant can be connected to a workspace.

AI can draft event copy, answer buyer questions using published event information and extract supplier-invoice details for human confirmation. The customer-service agent works around the clock and charges only when a query is resolved; uncertain questions are passed to the organizer at no charge. That division can reduce routine support without handing unresolved cases to an automated guess.

Exhibitio says payment details are entered directly with Stripe and that it neither sees nor stores card numbers. It also says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, passwords are hashed, workspaces are isolated at the database level, personal information is not sold and customer content is not used to train AI models.

Pricing

Exhibitio is freemium, with paid features starting at $0.99. Free tickets incur no Exhibitio fee. Paid tickets cost $0.99 per paid ticket sold, with no monthly bill. Booth sales cost $15 per booth sold, and sponsorship sales cost $25 per sponsorship sold. These flat charges favor organizers with modest ticket prices or high-value exhibitor deals less than a percentage-based model would, but they can become significant at volume.

Exhibitio Finance costs 1% per supplier payment, with a $1 minimum and a $495 monthly cap. The fee is charged on top, while the organizer’s own payouts carry no Exhibitio fee. The customer-service agent costs $1.50 per resolved query; unresolved questions cost nothing. The free plan is best for testing workflows or events selling free admission. Organizers selling many paid tickets, booths or sponsorships should model the per-sale totals against their margins before committing.

Platforms

Exhibitio runs on the web. An iOS app is described as coming soon, with pre-registration invited, so teams needing a currently available native mobile experience should plan around the web platform.

Who it's for

Choose Exhibitio for exhibitions, expos, markets and trade shows where ticketing sits alongside exhibitor applications, booth allocation, sponsorship sales and event operations. It is particularly suitable when direct Stripe settlement, installment collection and Xero connectivity match the finance workflow.

It is a weaker fit for a small event that only needs free registration, or for teams that require an available iOS app today. The separate fees for paid tickets, booths, sponsorships, supplier payments and resolved support queries also demand careful event-level budgeting.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad event coverage: Sales, applications, approvals, booth assignment, check-in, badges, orders, invoices and budgets share one service.
• Direct payment ownership: Sales settle in the organizer’s Stripe account, and Exhibitio says it never holds buyer funds or stores card numbers.
• Flexible exhibitor collection: Scheduled installments support booth and sponsorship deals.
• Controlled automation: AI handles copy, published-information answers and invoice extraction with human confirmation where needed.
• Clear entry pricing: Free tickets are fee-free, while paid tickets have a flat $0.99 charge and no monthly bill.

Cons

• Several per-sale charges: Booths, sponsorships and paid tickets each have separate flat fees, with additional finance and support charges possible.
• iOS is not available yet: The mobile app is still described as coming soon.
• Support automation is metered: Resolved customer-service queries cost $1.50 each, even though unresolved ones are free.

Verdict

Exhibitio is a strong choice for organizers monetizing booths, sponsorships and tickets while coordinating approvals, assignments, payments and event operations in one place. Choose it for direct Stripe settlement, installment support and the unusually broad operational scope. Look elsewhere if an available iOS app, simpler free registration or a single predictable platform fee matters more than its per-sale model.
