Everything you might ask before you sign up.

Community organizers, conference organizers, meetup groups, alumni networks, certification programs, and anyone who runs recurring events and wants the audience to stick around between them.

No. Sign-up is free and never asks for a card. Gathin has a free plan to get started and a paid Pro plan for when your community grows. The /pricing page lists what each plan includes and the current prices.

Yes. A native Gathin app for iOS and Android is coming soon. Until then, the web app works on any phone, tablet or computer. It runs in every modern browser and adapts to your screen size, so everything attendees need already works on a phone.

The interface is fully translated into English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish and Italian. What you type yourself (event titles, descriptions, community pages) stays exactly as you wrote it. We do not translate user content automatically.

Every event gets its own public web address at /events/<name>. The page shows a cover image, date and venue, a capacity counter, RSVP or ticket options, speakers, sponsors, a schedule and a photo gallery. Google can find it, and a link shared on LinkedIn, WhatsApp, X or Slack shows a preview with the title and cover image.

Yes. Mark the event as online, then either paste your own meeting link (Zoom, Google Meet or whatever you use) or create a built-in video room with one click. Attendees see the link on the event page after they join.

Yes. The schedule editor works day by day: add a day, add parallel tracks (rooms) within it, then add sessions with a title, time, description and speakers. Everything you save appears on the public event page.

Turn on the gallery in the event admin and upload your photos and videos. After the event they appear on the same public event URL, so members come back to the page they already know. There is no second link and no third-party host.

Yes. In the event details, add another community as a collaborator. The public page then shows the event as co-hosted, and collaborators can see the attendee list and the waitlist. Only the community that created the event can edit it.

Yes, with no time limit. Past events keep their public URL, photo gallery and speaker list. They help your community show up in search, and they show new members what it has already done.

Yes. In the event admin, add tickets and give each one a price: 0 makes it free, anything above that makes it paid. You can create tiers (Standard, VIP, Early Bird), set a sale window per ticket, add a quota and configure VAT. New tickets show up on the public page right away.

Attendees pay securely by card at checkout. Prices are shown in Turkish Lira (TL). The money is collected through the platform and goes into your community's Revenue balance, where you can withdraw it.

Yes. A commission (a payment-processing fee) is taken from each paid ticket, and the rest goes to your balance. We do not quote one fixed rate; the exact rate is shown on each payment's row on your Revenue page. A payment's rate can change once 45 days have passed since the payment.

RSVP is a free reservation. Members tap once to say they are coming and still get a QR ticket, but no money is involved. Ticketing is for paid entry, with tiers, checkout and a quota. You pick one for each event.

For a free event, an attendee can give up their spot from the event page. Paid tickets are non-refundable by default, with two exceptions: the organizer cancels or postpones the event, or the law gives you a right of withdrawal (mainly for offerings without a date or online on-demand ones). In those cases the refund goes back to the card you paid with and the platform handles it, so you do not have to chase the organizer. The full terms are on the Cancellation and Refund page (/iptal-iade).

Yes. The Participants area of each event lists every attendee with their ticket, the amount they paid and their check-in status. You can export the whole list as a file for your own records.

A cover image, logo, description, social links, city and category, member count, and a live feed of upcoming and past events. The page has its own web address, /communities/<name>, which Google can find like any other website. It is not a profile locked inside an app.

Go to /communities/create and fill in a name, description, city, category and images. Once you create it you become the owner, with an admin panel where you manage members, run events and enter the bank details your payouts go to.

The communities directory at /communities ranks communities by activity and popularity. It has categories, and any public community can be joined with one click. For organizers it is a free way to be discovered.

Yes. On the Members page, tag members into segments such as VIP, volunteer, speaker or alumni, one at a time or in bulk. Each segment shows how many members it has, and you can reuse the same segments across events.

Yes. In the community settings, set visibility to public or private. A private community works by invitation and approval: people join only when you invite them or approve their join request, which waits for you in the Pending Requests tab.

Every member has a public profile at /@username with a cover, avatar, an "About" text, social links, follower counts, and tabs for events attended, communities, certificates and badges. Members share it like a CV, which brings your community free visibility.

On your own profile, tap "Edit Profile". You can change your photo and cover, write the "About" text that introduces you, set your username and add social links. Once you save, the changes are live on your /@username page.

Yes. Every public page has its own web address that Google can find, and it shows a preview when shared on WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Slack. Over time, past events and communities add up to a searchable record of what your network has done.

Profile URLs follow the /@username pattern, where username is the handle you chose. The address is short, easy to share, and the same on every page that links to you.

One admin panel that holds every community function: members, segments, events, revenue, gallery and settings. A 20-person book club and a 20,000-person network use the same panel.

Ticket money is collected through the platform and goes into your community's Revenue balance. On the Revenue page you request a withdrawal, and the amount is transferred to the community's registered bank account (IBAN). Each payment moves through three states: In Balance, Withdraw Requested and Transferred. Everything is in Turkish Lira (TL).

Yes. Sponsor payments reach you the same way as ticket income. They land in the same Revenue balance, go through the same payment statuses and are paid out to the same bank account. You do not track sponsor money separately or arrange it off the platform.

Yes. Every member has a role: Owner, Admin or Member. Make someone an Admin from the Members page and they get the full organizer panel. The owner has every permission and cannot be removed.

Yes. In the community settings you set the logo and banner, name and username, short and detailed description, city, category, social links and privacy level, all in one place. This is what people see first when they find your community.

You do. Your members, events, photos and community content can all be exported, and they belong to you. We are a tool and we do not lock your data in.

Yes. What we collect and how we process it is documented on our Privacy Policy (/privacy) and KVKK (/kvkk) pages, and we act on data export and deletion requests. For a request or a data-processing agreement, write to info@lodos.io.
