Amid an era where personal spending can meaningfully influence social causes, Tix4Cause emerged to align ticket purchases with philanthropic missions. Founded by visionaries Mary Nemetz, Thomas Bell, and Kim Go, Tix4Cause aims to make every event—concert, sports game, or show—an opportunity to support a nonprofit dear to the buyer’s heart. Recognizing their need for a polished user experience, advanced API integrations, and impactful design, Tix4Cause partnered with Chop Dawg to transform a passionate idea into a next-generation mobile and web platform.
While buying a ticket online is easy, steering a portion of the proceeds to a favorite cause is far more complex. Tix4Cause needed to craft a smooth, transparent user journey—one that lets buyers discover events, donate to a cause, and track contributions without adding extra friction. At the same time, they wanted to support both donated and standard tickets, handle multiple payment options, and communicate seamlessly with a variety of nonprofit organizations. Security and trust were paramount, as high-value transactions and personal data demanded robust protection. Chop Dawg stepped in to design and develop a solution that balances industry-standard security, a simple checkout process, and a mission-driven brand identity.
Where Every Seat Supports a Cause—Merging Entertainment and Philanthropy
Tix4Cause partnered with Chop Dawg to shape both a non-functional prototype and the subsequent front-end development for iOS, Android, and a dedicated web app. Through weekly sprints, Slack communication, and real-time design reviews, our teams united core features—like donation prompts, dynamic event listings, and multi-entity ticket management—into a cohesive experience. We integrated Tix4Cause’s custom APIs while focusing on brand consistency and user flow clarity. The result is a platform that highlights each event’s philanthropic angle without sacrificing convenience, merging entertainment with meaningful contributions at every step.
From streamlined ticket selection to half the proceeds going to a chosen cause, Tix4Cause redefines how users connect with entertainment and charity.
Users find events near them, pick the perfect seats, and choose a registered nonprofit for part of the ticket revenue—all from a single screen. Every transaction is a tangible act of generosity.
Whether a ticket is entirely donated by a user or retrieved from a mainstream affiliate, Tix4Cause’s system supports flexible listings. Buyers can see if 100% or 50% of proceeds go directly to a worthy cause.
Built for iOS, Android, and web, Tix4Cause aligns with any device preference. Through a consistent UI and real-time synchronization, users can browse, buy, or donate from anywhere, at any time.
Chop Dawg integrated secure payment methods—like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit cards—and built out automated email receipts. Clear cost breakdowns keep donors informed, building trust in every purchase.
Beyond basic ticket sales, Tix4Cause offers robust user settings, donation tracking, and nonprofit management—empowering buyers, sellers, and causes to unite under one philanthropic mission.
Users set up alerts for specific ticket prices, seat types, or donation preferences. Tix4Cause automatically notifies them if a matching listing appears, keeping audiences engaged and increasing cause support.
A dedicated hub showcases popular and local charities. Contributors can learn about each cause’s goals, social links, and impact stories—ensuring every donation resonates deeply with personal values.
Whether a venue offloads unsold seats or a fan donates playoff tickets, Tix4Cause merges these streams, highlighting philanthropic angles. The system seamlessly handles partial or full proceeds for multiple charities.
Chop Dawg’s role extended beyond coding the Tix4Cause platform—we provided strategic oversight at each critical juncture:
Our team developed a polished non-functional prototype to captivate potential investors. This included cohesive branding, user flows, and mobile designs to illustrate Tix4Cause’s potential impact.
We advised Tix4Cause on implementing multi-layer encryption, verifying user data, and supporting Apple Pay, Google Pay, and third-party donation services—balancing convenience with bulletproof security.
By building a modular front-end architecture and a well-documented codebase, Chop Dawg ensured Tix4Cause’s ability to expand. New cause categories, additional payment partners, and further social features can be integrated smoothly over time.
Weekly Zoom calls, transparent Slack channels, and Jira-based task management kept Chop Dawg and Tix4Cause in sync. Our iterative design approach helped refine donation flows, shipping addresses for physical tickets, and user-friendly cause listings. Real-time feedback from Tix4Cause’s core development team guaranteed that each design choice aligned with the mission of “ticketing for a cause,” reinforcing ease of use and purposeful giving.
By designing mobile and web platforms to onboard nonprofits of any scale, Tix4Cause built a framework that could welcome countless causes, growing philanthropy without constraints.
Leveraging Tix4Cause’s custom marketplace API, Chop Dawg established robust ownership checks, payment flow safeguards, and frictionless listing—ensuring buyers trust every purchase.
With multi-device compatibility and a flexible front-end structure, Tix4Cause can continually expand features, accommodate new partners, and support unlimited events at any hour.
