01

Admin creates the school, adds ceremony details, and configures ticket pricing in a guided wizard.

02

Student Onboarding

Students register via unique access codes. Parents receive email invitations to link their accounts.

03

Tickets & Payments

Students request guest tickets. Admins approve. Stripe handles payments with automatic receipts.

04

Ceremony Day

QR check-in at the door. Stage console advances the slide presentation as each graduate walks.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Secure by design

Role-based access control ensures students, parents, and admins only see what they should.

Real-time updates

Live ticket status, check-in progress, and stage queue — no refresh needed.

Communication hub

Automated multi-channel outreach with delivery tracking and engagement analytics.

QR check-in

Camera-based QR scanning with a manual fallback for fast, reliable venue entry.

Stage presentation

Dual-console system: scanner advances the queue, presenter shows the slide.

Reporting & analytics

Registration completion, ticket revenue, email engagement — exportable at any time.

"GRADU8 turned what used to be three weeks of spreadsheets and phone calls into a two-day setup. Our students loved having everything in one place."
