Private events need personal invitations
A private shopping night for top-50 customers cannot be a Mailchimp blast. Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, Mailchimp, Yotpo SMS, and Omnisend send the same email to everyone — that's not "private."
Frontdesk coordinates private shopping events — by-invitation-only VIP nights, after-hours events, by-appointment-only luxury access — across voice, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, and TikTok DM, synced with Square POS, Clover, Lightspeed Retail, Shopify POS, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Magento.

The Problem
A private shopping night for top-50 customers cannot be a Mailchimp blast. Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, Mailchimp, Yotpo SMS, and Omnisend send the same email to everyone — that's not "private."
Top-1% customers expect a personal phone call to be invited — but manually calling 50-200 VIPs is impossible at scale. Square Appointments, Clover, Lightspeed, and Shopify Appointments cannot place voice calls.
Private events have hard caps. Without real-time capacity management across Square POS, Clover, Lightspeed, and Shopify POS, you accidentally over-invite or miss key VIPs.
After a private event, you want to know which VIPs bought, what they bought, and which need a follow-up — but data sits in disconnected POS terminals.

FAQ
Frontdesk integrates with Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and MRI Software. Here's what retail brands and merchants ask most.
Contact supportEventbrite, Splash, Cvent, Klaviyo Event Flows, Attentive Event Campaigns, and Postscript Event Campaigns send invitations — but cannot place personal VIP voice calls, can't enforce hard capacity in real time across Square POS / Clover / Lightspeed / Shopify POS, and can't attribute post-event purchases. Frontdesk does all three.
