Getting set up / 1.1

Web & Mobile

How to sign up

You can create your business on the web or directly from the SHWDWN mobile app. Both flows walk you through the same steps.

On the web

  1. Go to shwdwn.co/for-business/setup to start the sign-up flow.
  2. Read through the explainer screens — these cover how SHWDWN works, how ticket sales work, and how you get paid.
  3. Sign in or create an account. If you already have a fan account, just sign in with the same email — your account will be upgraded.
  4. Choose your business type (fight league, venue, music, etc.) and fill in your business details: name, contact phone number, website (optional), and an image.
  5. Review and accept the Terms & Conditions.
  6. Your business is created and you're redirected to your dashboard.

On the mobile app

  1. Open the SHWDWN app and go to your profile.
  2. Tap Run my own events.
  3. This opens the sign-up flow in a browser within the app. Complete the same steps — choose your business type, fill in your details, and accept the terms.
  4. When you're done, you'll be automatically returned to the app and switched to your business dashboard.

Note: Your business type determines whether you get SHWDWN (combat sports) or SHWUP (general events) features. Learn about the difference.

What's next

Before you can publish an event and start selling tickets, you'll need to set up Stripe for payment processing. You can create events and set everything up first, but publishing requires Stripe to be connected.
