Event check in is a critical part to your event. It can be stressful, so you need an app that works, and is easy to use. We put a lot of work into making our check in app fast, reliable, and realtime.

What you can do

  • Check in attendees by name, email, custom field using our realtime search-as-you-type results

  • Scan tickets using either the built-in camera, or with an optional laser attachment (available for rent)

  • Easily switch between search and scan modes easily

  • Add walk ups, with custom fields, customer details, etc, saved to your Event CRM

  • Print name badges, take guest photos

  • Fully offline capable. No network, no worries, scans will be synced with the server later.

  • Realtime syncing between all devices ensures no tickets are admitted twice.

  • Check in summary including total # checked out, checked in, and not arrived, as well as each number broken down by Ticket type and List.

  • And much more.

  • Summary: Check in and check out summary

  • Exit: Return back to the events list and settings menu

Available under the Premium and Business plan, you can do a lot more including: custom scanning stations (e.g. only admit certain ticket types by specific devices), tallies, check in templates, and more.
