How it works

Check-in has never been easier

Check-in has never been easier

Check-in has never been easier

Our check-in setup walks you through each step, from pairing a device to opening the doors, so you're ready before your first guest arrives.

Works on any device

No app to install. Check-in runs in a browser on any phone, tablet, or laptop.

On-brand, event by event

The check-in screen matches your event's colors and logo, same as your landing page and registration form.

Works without wifi

Devices keep working if the internet drops, then sync automatically once it's back.

Check-in and check-out

Track who's arrived, who's left, and whether they can come back in, not just a one-time scan.

Kiosk or staffed, your call

Two modes for how your event actually runs

  • Kiosk mode is unattended self-service, attendees scan, search, or enter a code themselves, and check themselves out if you allow it

  • Operator mode is staffed, your team chooses which check-in methods and attendee details staff can see

  • Pair as many devices as you need to a named profile, like "Front desk," with a QR code or pairing code, no app store required
