Walkthrough — check in a guest at the door

This walkthrough checks in your first guest at the door using a phone and the QR from their ticket email.

Before you start

  • You have an event with tickets sold.
  • You're opening check-in as an Owner, Manager, or door staff for that event. Door staff access is per event only.

Steps

  1. Open the event's Check-in screen. From the event's Check-in tab, or the door-staff check-in view. It runs in a mobile browser — nothing to install.
  2. Scan the QR. The buyer opens the ticket email and shows the QR; you scan it with the phone.
  3. Read the result. The screen reports valid / already used / unknown.
  4. Admit. Confirm to let the attendee in. Checked-in attendees update attendance data.
  5. No QR? Use search to find the attendee by name, or use the event's guest list for invited guests not in the ticket system.

When a scan fails

If a scan reports a problem but the person is legitimately at the door, Owners and Managers can use "Admit anyway" to override. Door staff don't have the override.

Verify

The attendee now shows as checked in in the Attendees tab.
