Overview
Checking in guests by name on a printed list is slow, and lines build up quickly. This add-on gives every ticket or RSVP confirmation its own QR code. Staff scan the code and see the ticket holder name, event type, ticket quantity and seat or booking options on screen, which makes verification clear and keeps attendance records tidy.
It works with the EventON Tickets and RSVP add-ons, so validation and attendance tracking follow the orders you already manage. You can scan with a mobile camera, a scanner gun or the HTML5 web-based scanner, which is in beta. Any webpage can become a check-in station with a shortcode, and access can be limited to chosen staff roles.
Features
- QR codes in tickets and RSVPs: Unique QR codes are generated and embedded in confirmation tickets and RSVPs, giving each attendee a code that staff can scan when they arrive.
- Several scanning options: Check guests in with a mobile phone camera, a handheld scanner gun or the HTML5 web-based QR scanner, so you can pick the method that suits your venue.
- Mobile-friendly check-in interface: The check-in screen is designed for mobile devices, so staff can scan attendees from wherever they are standing at the event.
- Role-based access control: Limit scanning permissions to selected admin or staff roles, which keeps unauthorized people from checking guests in.
- Live ticket details on scan: Each scan shows ticket data such as holder name, event type, ticket quantity and seat or booking options, so staff can verify guests on the spot.
- Batch check-in from one order: Check in every ticket from the same order in one step without rescanning, which helps when a group arrives together.
- Color-coded status indicators: Visual cues show ticket status and type at a glance, so staff can quickly see who has already checked in and which ticket category applies.
- Shortcode check-in pages: Turn any webpage into a dedicated check-in station with a shortcode, and adjust the appearance settings to match your brand.
