How to Run Zero-Risk Events with Minimum Guest Goal

The Solopreneur Problem: Why We Built This

Every independent creator, DJ, and house party host knows the fear: What if only 2 or 3 people buy tickets? You can't host a party for 2 people, and cancelling means dealing with painful bank refunds, payment gateway deduction fees, and angry attendees who feel scammed.

With Minimum Guest Goal, you collect ₹0 upfront commitment. Your fans reserve spots in 3 seconds because there is zero financial hesitation. The event only officially locks in when enough people are committed.

Step-by-Step Instructions: From Creation to Entry

1. Enable the Goal: In Dashboard → New Event, toggle on "Minimum Attendance Goal" and set your target guest count (e.g. 15 or 25 guests).
2. Set Ticket Tiers: Configure pass pricing as normal (e.g. ₹399). Attendees see the locked-in price they will pay once the event is confirmed.
3. Share Your Event Link: Share your Yano link on Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter. Fans tap "Join Guestlist for ₹0" with zero upfront payment.
4. Watch the Momentum Bar: Both your public event page and your event cockpit show real-time progress (e.g. 12 of 15 joined · 80%).
5. Automated Private Payment Unlock: The instant the 15th person pledges, Yano automatically emails private 1-tap checkout links to every attendee.
6. Host Early Override: If you have 10 great people and decide to host anyway, tap "Confirm Event Early" in your dashboard cockpit to trigger payment emails immediately.
