Every way to reward the curators who fill your room
Some collabs we run end to end, from the offer and code to the tracking and payout. Others are creative ways to work with curators that we help you set up.

Collabs that run themselves
Set the reward and the terms. Recs runs the rest: we deliver the offer, generate the codes, reconcile every sale, and keep the payout straight. No spreadsheets, nothing to chase.
Comps & guest list
We send the invite and hold the spots — RSVPs, +1s, and check-in, tracked for you.
Discount codes
Every curator gets their own code, flat or percentage off. We generate it and count every use.
Commission on every sale
Flat per ticket, a percentage of sales, a per-use bonus, or tiers that climb with volume — your call.
Ambassador programs
A standing crew, each with their own code and a live ledger of what they've earned. Payouts, handled.
Briefs & terms
Deliverables, content rights, and exclusivity — agreed up front so both sides are clear.
One transparent ledger
Every code, comp, and dollar in one place — counted and reconciled after each show, so both sides see the same numbers.
Trust and safety, built into every collab
Recs works with organizers and curators every day, so collabs run on proven best practices. We provide the trust and safety both sides need: work gets credited, payments get handled, and sensitive details stay sealed. We streamline and optimize the whole process, so everyone can focus on the event instead of protecting themselves.
Results, ensured
Every sale is attributed to the right code and reconciled after each show. Organizers pay for real results; curators get credit for every ticket they drive.
Payments, handled
Commissions are calculated and settled through Recs, so curators get paid what they're owed and organizers settle up once — no chasing invoices or Venmo screenshots.
Tax & banking, secured
Payout details — bank info, tax forms — are encrypted and held by Recs. The person on the other side of the collab never sees them.
Terms, on the record
Every collab's deliverables, rewards, rights, and dates are agreed up front and saved with the deal — so there's no he-said-she-said once the show's over.
Creative ways to work with creators
Beyond what runs automatically, this is the wider palette the best organizers reach for. Tell us the shape you want and we'll help you make it real — and wire up whatever we can.
