Confusing online checkout
A clear, mobile-first ticket flow with messaging that reduces day-of confusion at the door and improves online conversion.
For Museums & Science Centers
Modern ecommerce, memberships, and member tools for museums.
A guest-friendly checkout, timed ticketing, member-aware fulfillment, donation-aware commerce, and reporting that helps your team understand audience behavior across your campus.
Inside the work
What XTru looks like inside museums.
Museums and science centers operate at the intersection of ticketing, education, donations, and community impact. Your audience includes curious first-time visitors, repeat members, school groups, supporters, grantmakers, and community partners — and they all interact with the same checkout, the same gate, and the same data.
XTru is built for that complexity. Sell tickets and memberships, accept donations, run programs and field trips, and feed clean data into your CRM and reporting — all on a platform purpose-built for nonprofit cultural organizations.

What we hear from museums.
The patterns that keep coming up in conversations with operations, membership, and development teams — and how XTru is designed to help.
Membership fulfillment overhead
Digital cards reduce mailing costs, support requests, and lost-card replacements — without losing the staff workflows you depend on.
Multiple buildings, one experience
Track visitor flow across exhibits, locations, and special programming with a single source of truth for capacity and reporting.
Supporter and member overlap
Cleaner data on members, guests, and donation activity — flowing back to the CRM your development team already uses.
Education and program sales
Field trips, public programs, summer camps, and adult learning — sold and fulfilled through the same platform as admission tickets.
Reporting for leadership and funders
Bring ticket, membership, donation, and behavior data into one place for marketing, leadership, board updates, and grant reporting.
What XTru brings to museums.
Modern guest UX
Checkout flows guests can complete in under a minute on mobile, with messaging that reduces day-of confusion.
Timed admission
Built-in support for timed entry, special exhibits, and capacity rules that play nicely with member benefits.
Digital memberships
Apple and Google Wallet passes that members install once and staff can validate at a glance.
Donation-aware checkout
Donation opportunities and round-ups at checkout — with data flowing back to your CRM.
Real reporting
See sales, members, donations, and behavior together — without exporting to spreadsheets.
Built for nonprofits
Comp tickets, education vouchers, group rates, and reciprocal memberships are first-class workflows, not edge cases.

Stories from museums.
XTruLink has considerably cut down wait times for guests looking to purchase experience tickets. It also provides multiple locations for folks to purchase their tickets at, where previously we only offered tickets at one location, which was not ideal for such a large campus.
XTruLink has noticeably improved our guest experience by making the online ticket purchasing process much more user-friendly. We've seen an increase in online ticket sales, which tells us that visitors are finding it easier and more convenient to plan their visits. The clear messaging about using the QR code as their ticket has reduced confusion at check-in.
It makes checking out online much easier and user-friendly. We can also track who visits what part of our campus. The digital cards are easy for people to use and easy for us to re-send!
