BUSQR™
The live payment solution that works for every performer, on any platform.
26 March 2020: The day the music nearly died. Overnight the COVID-19 Lockdown destroyed the live gig economy.
To help performers get back on their feet we created BUSQR™ - an easy way for them to earn tips from their captive online audiences using simple QR technology that ties into major local and international digital payment gates including Zapper, SnapScan, PayPal, Visa and Mastercard. By re-designing the way live audiences show appreciation and support for their favourite performers, BUSQR™ created a new system of value exchange between artists and their fans while building a global business in a matter of weeks, when it was needed most.

“BUSQR™ has been our primary revenue stream since the beginning of lockdown. It’s easy to use and very effective. It’s possibly the single most inventive tool to come from the Covid-19 pandemic. This virus threw us, both the musicians and our audiences, into a dark and deep pool, but together we’re finding a way out.”
