Frequently asked questions
The basics
Do guests have to download an app?
No. Guests can open your event link in any phone browser and use everything there. The free Shindigs app for iPhone adds push alerts, quick camera uploads and offline access.
How do guests join?
You choose an event code like MAYA-JORDAN or OPS-SUMMIT. Guests type it in the app, scan your QR code, or tap your link. They enter a first name and they're in. No account or password.
How much does Shindigs cost?
Free to start. Upgrade to Standard for $20 per event for premium modules and more room. Conferences and trade shows can talk to us about Pro.
Do guests ever pay?
Never. Hosts set up and pay on the website. Guests always join free.
What kinds of events is Shindigs for?
Weddings, birthdays, reunions, holiday parties, Friendsgiving, bachelor and bachelorette weekends, retreats and offsites, conferences, trade shows and industry meetups.
Can I change my event code?
Yes, until your event starts. The old code keeps working for 7 days so nobody gets lost.
Is it safe for my guests?
Each event is private to people with its code. Guests can report or block anyone, hosts can hide posts or remove people, and we review anything a host hasn't handled within 24 hours.
What happens to photos after the event?
Everything stays viewable and downloadable for 30 days after your event ends. Then the event is archived and deleted.
