Everything You Need to Know Before You Create Your First Event on PartyVerse
- Upload a selfie and a valid ID
- Verify your BVN or NIN
- Set your Transaction PIN and enable Biometric Authentication for faster logins
- Wishlist — Let guests know what you'd love to receive. No guesswork, no awkward surprises.
- Budget Feature — Set spending limits and track costs across your event. Good for anyone who wants to stay in control of their numbers.
- Vendor Feature — If you need to find and manage vendors (caterers, photographers, DJs, decorators), turn this on. You can search for vendors directly on the app and track who's been booked, who's been paid, and who still needs a nudge.
- Party Bank — Generate a virtual account number for your event and share it with guests so they can contribute directly. No chasing people, no group chat drama about who sent what.
- Sell Tickets, Merch & More — If your event is ticketed or you want to sell branded merchandise, set this up before you share your event. Once guests start RSVPing, you'll want this already in place.
- Collaborative Planning — You can add co-planners to your event so others can help manage the details. Everyone sees what's going on — no one's in the dark, and no one's accusing anyone of eating the money.
So you've downloaded PartyVerse and you're ready to start planning. Before you dive into creating your event, there are a few things worth knowing — because the more set up you are from the start, the smoother everything runs.
Here's what to sort out first.
Set Up Your Account Properly
The basics matter here. Before anything else, complete your profile and get your account verified.
Go to Account → Security & KYC and complete the following:
Once that's done, tap Save Changes and wait for approval. Verification unlocks key features like the Party Bank and payments, so don't skip this step.
Create a Host Profile
If you're planning to host events regularly — or you just want your event page to look more credible — set up a Host Profile.
Host Profiles are profiles for your brand or business that are separate from you as an individual. E.g. your name is Fola and your brand's name is Fire Events — you need to create a host profile for Fire Events.
Here is how to set up a host profile.
Go to Account → Manage Host Profile → Create Host Profile, fill in your host or brand name, add a description and your contact details, and save. You can also link your social media handles here.
It takes five minutes and makes a difference in how your event is perceived.
Create Your Partypurse
Your Partypurse is your in-app wallet. You'll need it to receive contributions from guests, pay for tickets, send gifts, and make in-app purchases.
To set it up: go to Account → Create Partypurse, complete your KYC verification if you haven't already, and you're good to go. Once active, you can send money, track your balance, and use it across the app.
Know Which Features You'll Need
When you create an event on PartyVerse, you'll be asked to select the features you want to enable. It helps to think about this ahead of time so you're not making decisions on the fly.
Here's a quick breakdown of what's available:
Understand How Sharing Works
Once your event is created, it's live. The way people find it is through you — you share your RSVP link directly with guests via WhatsApp, Instagram, or wherever your people are.
If you want your event to be discoverable by anyone on the app (not just people you've shared the link with), you can toggle on Make Event Public in Quick Links. That's optional — and a decision worth making before you share.
One More Thing
You don't need to have every detail figured out before you create your event. You can update your event name, date, description, and most settings at any time. But the structural decisions — which features to enable, whether you're selling tickets, whether you want a co-planner — are easier to get right from the start.
Get those in order, and the rest of the planning becomes a lot more straightforward.
That's it! We can't wait to see what you plan.
