The panel's verdict

doo is event-registration and ticketing SaaS from Munich-based doo GmbH, and its highest scores are shop and registration (6 to 7) and invoicing and tax (6 to 7): ticket categories, conditional questions, promotion codes and widget or iFrame embedding on any number of websites, a seating tool for events up to roughly 2,250 attendees, and per-category VAT with mixed 0%, 7% and 19% rates printed on invoices doo creates for the organiser. Payments and fees and check-in and on-site score 5 to 6: the on-site module is in beta, recommended for up to 500 attendees and requiring a stable internet connection, and the captured pages give different accounts of refunds — a features page describes automatic repayment while the terms state doo does not process refunds unless expressly agreed. Sovereignty sits at 6 across the bench — EU data centres with EU-only servers on request, ISO/IEC 27001 stated — though data centres are unnamed and no subprocessor list is published. Scores sat close; the widest spread is attendee data ownership, 5 to 7. Pricing transparency trails at 4 to 5.

Speaks for it

  • Registration is configurable with ticket categories, conditional tickets tied to questions, promotion codes, add-on products and widget or iFrame embedding on any number of websites
  • VAT is set per ticket category, with mixed 0%, 7% and 19% rates possible in one event and the exemption reason printed on bookers' invoices
  • doo is the processor under a downloadable Article 28 GDPR agreement, with attendee and booking data exportable as Excel or CSV at any time
  • The exit path is unusually explicit: up to 30 days of transition support, at least 30 days to retrieve data after termination, and early-termination compensation capped at the remaining fees
  • On-site check-in validates add-on products such as workshops and catering and shows check-in numbers in real time

Report an error

Held against it

  • The captured pages give different accounts of refunds — a features page describes automatic repayment while the terms state doo does not process refunds of ticket prices unless expressly agreed
  • The on-site module is in beta, recommended for events up to 500 attendees, and its documented setup requires a stable internet connection
  • We found no public information naming the data centres, the subprocessors with their locations, or the company's ownership
  • We found no public information on payout timing, chargeback handling or passing service fees on to buyers
  • The documented accounting export is Excel or CSV, with no public information on a DATEV export or e-invoice formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD

Report an error

Best for

  • You organise German events that mix VAT rates in one event — 0%, 7% and 19% — and want invoices created on your behalf with your VAT ID on them
  • You need a configurable registration flow with ticket categories, conditional questions and promotion codes, embedded by widget or iFrame on any number of your own websites
  • You run seated events of up to about 2,250 attendees and want the seating plan to feed badges, check-in and table plans
  • You face a data-protection review and need an Article 28 processor agreement, exports at any time, and a stated retrieval window of at least 30 days after termination

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You need on-site check-in for events well beyond 500 attendees — the module is documented for small to medium events with a maximum of 500
  • Your check-in stations cannot rely on a stable internet connection — the documented hardware requirements state one is required per station
  • Your refund process depends on automatic repayment of ticket prices — the terms state doo does not process refunds of ticket prices unless expressly agreed
  • Your accounting hand-off needs more than the documented Excel and CSV exports

The scores

Panel median The median of the judges’ scores per criterion. Each label opens its reasoning below.

Ticket shop, checkout & registration

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How a ticket or a registration is sold: ticket types and categories, member and early-bird prices, discount codes, bundles and add-ons, a shop embeddable on the organiser's own website or under its own domain, custom questions per ticket and per attendee, group and company bookings, capacity limits and waiting lists, reserved seating with a seating plan, recurring dates and course series, several languages, and an accessible mobile checkout.

0 — Not a ticketing or registration tool; tickets cannot be sold and registrations cannot be taken in the product.

3 — An event page on the platform with a few ticket types and a fixed sign-up form; embedding, custom questions, capacity rules or seating are basic or not described.

5 — Several ticket types with prices, quotas and sale periods, discount codes, custom questions per attendee, a shop embeddable on the organiser's website as a widget or link, capacity limits with a waiting list, and a checkout that works on a phone.

8 — A white-label shop under the organiser's own domain and design, reserved seating with a seating-plan editor, add-ons and bundles, group and company bookings with several attendees per order, conditional questions, member prices by code or login, recurring dates and course series, several languages, and the checkout's accessibility stated.

10 — A shop that fits any event: multi-event and season tickets, timed entry and seat holds, a checkout that the organiser can extend (API, custom fields synced to a CRM), an accessibility conformance statement (WCAG level named), and the conversion and drop-off of the checkout reported to the organiser.

The Conference Organiser

Multiple ticket categories with individual prices, promotion codes, conditional tickets combined with questions, add-on products that explicitly include workshops with minimum and maximum quantities, and quotas plus purchase periods are all documented, and the registration embeds as a widget or iframe into any number of our own websites; the seating tool adds an interactive plan with automated placement and down-stream reuse for badges. We found no public information on waiting lists, a shop under our own domain and design, member prices by code or login, recurring course series, or checkout languages and checkout accessibility, which keeps it below the top band. 1 2 8 10 18

The Venue Promoter

The ticket setup fits my nights: free and paid events with several ticket categories and prices, minimum and maximum quantities per total and per booking, purchase periods, promotion codes, add-on products like VIP packages, conditional tickets combined with questions, a checkout in responsive design, and registration embedded as a widget or iFrame on as many of my sites as I like. The seating tool is a full plan editor with interactive seat and table assignment, reusable layouts and roughly 2,250 attendees, though for a standing club a waiting list, member prices, shop languages beyond the German and English documentation, and an accessibility statement for the checkout are things we found no public information on. 1 2 10

Configurable registration forms with several ticket categories, conditional tickets tied to questions, add-on products such as workshops, quota and sale-period rules, promotion codes and one-click prefilled registration are all documented, as is embedding by widget or iFrame on as many websites as I like, plus a deep reserved-seating tool. For my eight-week evening courses, though, we found no public information on a waiting list that refills a cancelled seat, on recurring dates or course series, member prices, or an accessibility statement for the checkout. 2 8 10 1

Registrations are built step by step with configurable forms, ticket categories, conditional tickets linked to questions, minimum and maximum quantities with purchase periods, promotion codes and add-on products, embedded by widget or iFrame in unlimited websites, with a responsive checkout. A seating tool adds interactive seat and zone placement, automated placement rules and multi-event plans that can be embedded on my own website.

Payments, payouts, fees & refunds

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the money moves: payment methods offered to buyers (cards, PayPal, SEPA direct debit, invoice, local methods), whether the organiser connects its own payment account or the platform collects as merchant of record, when the revenue is paid out (continuously, before the event, or after it), the per-ticket and payment fees and whether they can be passed on to the buyer, refunds of single tickets and of a cancelled event, ticket transfer and resale, and chargebacks.

0 — No payment of any kind; the product only collects free registrations.

3 — Online card payment through the platform; payout timing, fee model, refunds or buyer-paid fees are basic or not described.

5 — Several payment methods including cards and PayPal or SEPA, the fee per ticket stated with the option to pass it to the buyer, the payout schedule stated, and refunds of single orders and of a cancelled event issued from the product.

8 — A choice between the organiser's own payment account (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie or similar) and platform collection, payouts before the event stated with their conditions, invoice and bank transfer for business buyers, partial refunds and refund policies set per event, ticket transfer or resale by buyers, and chargeback handling explained.

10 — Full control of the money: the merchant of record named for each set-up, payout timing and any reserve held published, every fee itemised per order, refunds, transfers and resale with the organiser's rules enforced, and the cancellation process for an event documented end to end.

The Conference Organiser

Purchase on account, PayPal, credit card and direct debit are documented with the organiser choosing methods and periods, and we can either connect our own payment provider or have participant payments run through an escrow account in doo's name; the fee charged to us is published in the terms as 0,99 EUR per ticket plus, for paid events, 0,49 EUR + 5,9% of the ticket price excluding VAT. Payout timing, chargeback handling, buyer-paid fee options and ticket transfer are not described, and the captured pages give different pictures of refunds: the registration features describe cancellation management with automatic repayment, while the terms state doo does not process repayments of ticket prices unless expressly agreed. 2 8 11

The Venue Promoter

The money routes are real — my own payment provider, doo's default provider, or payments through an escrow account in doo's name — with purchase on account, PayPal, credit card and direct debit offered, and the fee is published: 0,99 EUR je Ticket plus 0,49 EUR + 5,9% des Ticketpreises at paid events, excluding VAT, billed to me monthly in arrears. But no page states when the ticket money lands in my account before the show, nothing says I can push the fee onto the twelve-euro ticket price, and the captured pages give different statements on refunds — the terms state doo does not process refunds of ticket prices unless expressly agreed otherwise, while the feature page describes automatic repayment with invoice adjustment and a cancellation invoice. 2 8 11

Purchase on account, PayPal, MasterCard/Visa, direct debit and Amex/Discover are the documented methods, and I can integrate my own payment provider, use the doo standard provider or handle payment myself, with collection either through the organiser's provider or an escrow account in doo's name under power of attorney. The service fee to me as organiser is stated as "0,99 EUR je Ticket sowie bei kostenpflichtigen Veranstaltungen 0,49 EUR + 5,9% des Ticketpreises (zzgl. USt.)" with acquirer surcharges passed through, but we found no public information on payout timing, passing fees to buyers, ticket transfer or chargeback handling; the captured pages also describe refund handling differently — a feature page promises automatic repayment on cancellation while the terms state doo does not process refunds of ticket prices unless expressly agreed. 11 2 8

VAT, invoices & accounting handoff

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How ticket revenue reaches the books correctly: the VAT rate set per ticket or product (reduced rates for concerts and culture, exemptions for education and seminars), gross and net prices shown, invoices to buyers in the organiser's name with consecutive numbers, business buyers with company name and VAT ID, reverse charge for cross-border events, cancellation invoices and credit notes, the platform's own fee invoice, e-invoicing, and exports to DATEV or named accounting systems.

0 — No receipts or invoices; the organiser has to produce every invoice outside the product.

3 — An order confirmation or simple receipt per booking; VAT rates, invoices in the organiser's name, business buyers or accounting exports are basic or not described.

5 — VAT rate configurable per ticket, invoices generated in the organiser's name with its tax details and consecutive numbers, company name and address captured for business buyers, cancellation invoices on refund, and a sales export as CSV or to at least one named accounting system.

8 — Several VAT rates in one order, net prices for business buyers, VAT IDs validated and reverse charge applied, e-invoices (XRechnung or ZUGFeRD) for public and business buyers, a DATEV export with booking data, the platform's fee invoice separated from ticket revenue, and whether the platform sells as agent or in its own name stated.

10 — Tax handled per country: VAT rules for events in several EU countries documented with the place of supply, invoices and credit notes stated as compliant with national invoice law, a reconciliation of payouts, fees and ticket revenue per event, and a GoBD-compliant archive or audit export.

doo creates the booker invoices on the organiser's behalf, in German or English, customisable per event with our logo, with a separate VAT rate per ticket category including mixed 0%, 7% and 19% rates and a printed exemption reason, and our VAT ID must be stored before the event can go live; cancellation invoices and a booking overview with net and VAT totals, invoice numbers and cancellation invoice numbers round this out.

This matches my mixed shop: an "Exempt from VAT" event type allows categories at 0% alongside 7% or 19% in one event, a separate VAT rate per ticket category appears on bookers' invoices with my VAT ID, and the required exemption reason is printed on invoices. doo creates the invoices to participants for the organiser, customisable with my logo in German or English, including cancellation invoices, and booking overviews with net totals, VAT totals and invoice numbers export to Excel.

0 — No check-in; tickets cannot be validated at the event.

3 — Tickets with a QR code and a guest list to tick off by hand or in a simple app; offline use, several devices, badges or on-site sales are basic or not described.

5 — A free check-in app for iOS and Android that scans tickets on several devices at once, works offline and syncs, a searchable guest list, and live check-in numbers in the dashboard.

8 — Badge printing with attendee data and QR codes, access rules per entrance, session or day, box office sales on site with a named card terminal, walk-in registration, dedicated scanner hardware supported or rented, and attendance certificates for courses.

Attendee data & the customer relationship

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the ticket buyer belongs to: whether the organiser is the controller of attendee data and the platform its processor, or the platform a controller in its own right; whether buyers must create an account on the platform; whether the platform markets other events to the organiser's buyers or lists the event on its own marketplace; consent for the organiser's newsletter collected in the checkout; messages to attendees; attendee data exportable at any time; and deletion and anonymisation after the event.

0 — The organiser receives no attendee data at all; the platform keeps the buyer relationship entirely.

3 — A guest list visible to the organiser; who is controller, the platform's own marketing to buyers, export or deletion are basic or not described.

5 — Attendee data exportable by the organiser at any time, the organiser named as controller with a data processing agreement offered, buyers able to book without a platform account, newsletter consent for the organiser collectable in the checkout, and messages to attendees from the product.

8 — A white-label set-up in which buyers see only the organiser, the platform stated not to market other events to the organiser's buyers (or the opt-out explained), the platform's marketplace listing optional, deletion and anonymisation of attendee data after the event configurable, and attendee data synced to a named CRM or via API and webhooks.

10 — The organiser owns the relationship and can prove it: the controller and processor roles documented for every data flow, no platform account or platform marketing by default, retention set per event and enforced, and a complete export of orders, attendees and answers that a successor tool can import.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where attendee, order and payment data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, payment providers, email delivery, analytics, support). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; attendee lists show who goes where and when, and a conference list holds names, employers and dietary or accessibility answers, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.

5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (payments, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, a self-hosted or on-premises option or data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

The bones are European: doo GmbH registered at the Munich court under HRB 204689, the platform run in professional data centres inside the EU with an EU-only servers option on request, a published Article 28 processing agreement, ISO/IEC 27001 certification with regular external audits and penetration tests. What I could not find published is the named hosting infrastructure, the list of subprocessors with their locations, and the ownership behind the company. 1 5 6 8

The Course Provider

The contracting entity is doo GmbH, Hultschiner Straße 8, Munich, with a German VAT ID, the platform runs in professional data centres within the European Union with EU-only servers available on request, a data processing agreement is published for download, and ISO/IEC 27001 certification is stated. We found no public information naming the data centres or the individual subprocessors for payments, email and similar services, so parts of the chain stay unverified. 6 8 5 1

The Data Protection Officer

The contracting entity is doo GmbH of Munich (HRB 204689, Amtsgericht München), the platform runs in data centres within the European Union with exclusively EU servers available on request, a data processing agreement is published for download, and ISO/IEC 27001 certification is stated with certificates and penetration test reports provided on request. The data centres are not named and no subprocessor list with their countries is published, which is my sticking point: our attendee lists carry names, employers and dietary or accessibility answers, and I cannot yet assess the whole chain of hosting, payment, email and support providers. 1 5 6 8

The Skeptic

The contracting entity is doo GmbH in Munich, registered at the Amtsgericht München, the platform is stated to run in data centres within the EU with exclusively EU servers available on request, an ISO/IEC 27001 certification is stated with certificates and penetration test reports on request, and a data processing agreement is published. The data centres themselves are not named, no subprocessor list with locations is published, and I found no public information on the company's ownership — so the chain from database to email delivery to payment provider remains unproven. 1 5 6 8

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether an organiser can compute the real cost of an event from public pages alone: the fee per ticket or per registration (fixed, percentage or both), payment processing fees, whether fees are charged to the organiser or added to the buyer's price, free events, subscriptions or credit packs, payout and refund fees, add-ons (seating, white label, badges, box office), hardware rental, minimums and term, and VAT on the fees.

0 — No public prices at all; every organiser is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or "free for free events" exists, but the fee for paid tickets, payment fees or who pays them is unclear.

5 — The fee per ticket and the payment processing fees are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (refund fees, white label, seating, box office, hardware) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every fee published with its rule (per ticket, percentage, cap), the share paid by buyer and organiser stated, add-ons and hardware priced, payout and refund fees listed, and VAT treatment of the fees stated.

10 — Complete price computability: the cost of an event derivable for a given ticket price, ticket count and payment mix, with every add-on, hardware, support and payout fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.

The Conference Organiser

The terms publish the fee rule clearly: 0,99 EUR per ticket plus, for paid events, 0,49 EUR + 5,9% of the ticket price, excluding VAT, invoiced to the organiser monthly in arrears, with payment-provider surcharges passed through, fourteen-day payment terms and a six-week notice plus termination right on increases above 5 percent. What we cannot compute from public pages is everything around it: payment processing fees per method, payout and refund fees, and the pieces our congress would need — seating, on-site activation, scanners and badge printers, and invoice customisation limited to Pro and enterprise plans — all require contacting doo and carry no published price. 8 15 16

The Venue Promoter

The core fee is on the table — 0,99 EUR je Ticket, and at paid events 0,49 EUR + 5,9% des Ticketpreises, excluding VAT, invoiced to me monthly in arrears on 14-day terms, with additional payment-provider surcharges passed through to me. But I cannot price a full night from public pages: the seating tool, the handheld scanners, activation of on-site management by doo and the invoice customisation reserved for Pro and enterprise customers are all on request, and payout or refund fees are not published. 8 10 14 15 16

The Course Provider

The fee rule is public and quoted as "0,99 EUR je Ticket sowie bei kostenpflichtigen Veranstaltungen 0,49 EUR + 5,9% des Ticketpreises (zzgl. USt.)", stated as excluding VAT, billed monthly in arrears with 14-day payment terms, a cap on early-termination compensation and a right to cancel on price rises above 5%. What I cannot compute: the payment processing fee amounts are not stated (only the pass-through of surcharges is described), and we found no public prices for the seating tool, on-site management with scanners, the extra dunning module or the Pro and enterprise plans — these run through individual contact. 8 10 14 16

The core fee is public: 0,99 EUR per ticket plus, for paid events, 0,49 EUR + 5,9% of the ticket price (plus VAT), billed to the organiser monthly in arrears, with payment-provider surcharges passed through, 14-day payment terms and published price-increase and termination rules. Beyond that the calculator stops: the plan names Pro and enterprise appear without prices, and the dunning module, on-site activation, scanner and printer hardware, the seating tool and customised invoices are unpriced or by individual offer; we found no public information on payment processing fee amounts, payout or refund fees. 8 14 16

The service fee is published exactly and charged to the organiser: 0,99 EUR per ticket plus, for paid events, 0,49 EUR + 5,9% of the ticket price, excluding VAT, invoiced monthly in arrears with 14-day payment terms and payment-provider surcharges passed through. The commonly needed remainder is unpriced: payment processing amounts, the separately chargeable dunning module, on-site activation and scanner hardware, the seating tool, and plan prices such as Pro and enterprise are all quoted only through a doo representative, so a club cannot compute the cost of an event from public pages alone. 8 10 14 15 16

The Skeptic

The terms publish exact fees charged to the organiser — 0.99 EUR per ticket and, for paid events, 0.49 EUR plus 5.9% of the ticket price, VAT excluded — with monthly billing in arrears, 14-day payment terms, and rules for price increases and early termination. Payment processing costs appear only as pass-through of acquirer surcharges, the captured pages name Pro and enterprise plans without prices, and I found no public information on the price of the seating tool, on-site activation, scanner purchase, or badge hardware — so the real cost of an event is not computable from public pages alone. 8 14 15 16
