One Trusted Storefront for the World Cup: Qbatch Builds a Multi-Supplier Ticketing Marketplace

FrequentFan replaces fragmented, low-trust ticket hunting with a single branded marketplace for the 2026 World Cup. Fans wanting tickets, hospitality suites, or matchday experiences no longer had to chase scattered providers. Qbatch pulled inventory from multiple ticket and hospitality suppliers into one normalized catalog that syncs continuously, so fans browse one clean listing instead of separate provider sites. The storefront offers three ways to buy, event tickets, hospitality suites through an inquiry-to-sales flow, and curated matchday experiences, each with a checkout suited to it. At the moment of purchase, availability and pricing are re-verified live against the supplier, so a fan never lands on a sold-out or removed listing. Because suppliers connect through a shared integration layer, new inventory sources can be added without rebuilding the storefront, giving the business a supplier-agnostic foundation that scales.

Qbatch delivered a supplier-agnostic marketplace on a server-rendered Next.js 15 storefront. Inventory from ticket and hospitality suppliers flows in through a shared integration layer, kept current by webhook-driven sync with BullMQ and Redis cron jobs as a polling fail-safe, and hash-based change detection skips redundant writes. A multi-schema PostgreSQL design lets a headless Directus CMS own public content alongside the application data in one database. Each purchase surface routes to the right flow, Stripe Embedded Checkout with Stripe Tax for experiences, an inquiry-to-email path for suites, and hosted checkout for event tickets, with availability and pricing re-verified live at the moment of purchase. The result is one branded storefront fans can trust, and a foundation that scales to new inventory sources without a rebuild.
