# Build any site. Konecto is the backend.

Audience: Agencies and developers
Problem: "Our client wanted a custom site."
Page: https://konec.to/developers

Konecto is a headless events backend. Developers build fully custom event sites anywhere and use the Konecto Public API, TypeScript SDK and drop-in components for event data, ticket availability and checkout, with signed webhooks for orders and check-ins.

## Why it happens
- Building ticketing, payments and check-in yourself takes months.
- Embedded widgets rarely match a bespoke design.
- Handling card data brings compliance work nobody wants.

## How Konecto fixes it
Read events, agenda, speakers and availability from the Public API with a publishable key limited to your domains. Send buyers to Konecto checkout. Listen for webhooks. Attendees still get their tickets in the Konecto attendee app.

## Steps
1. Get keys: A publishable key for the browser, a secret key for your server.
2. Build: Use the SDK or drop in <konecto-tickets>.
3. Listen: Webhooks for orders, refunds and check-ins.

## FAQ
### Is the API free?
Yes. The API is part of the free core; paid tickets carry the usual ticket fee.

### Do I handle payments?
No. Checkout always runs on Konecto through Stripe.

### Can I replace the attendee app?
No. Attendees always get their tickets and network in the Konecto attendee app.

### Is there an OpenAPI spec?
Yes, plus an SDK and LLM-friendly docs.
