How To Scan QR Codes At Check-In

Scan a guest's QR code to find them quickly at check-in, in the Admin App or from the dashboard with a paired phone.

You can scan the QR code on a guest's e-ticket or printed ticket. There are two ways to do it:


Scan In The Admin App

  1. Open the Auctria Admin App on your phone.
  2. Tap Check-in in the bar at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Under Select Guest to Check-In, tap SCAN next to the search box. The camera opens.

Check In A Group Together

To check in a couple or a table, scan each guest's code before you tap Next • Guest Info. Each guest is added to the selection.

Note

If you scan a code that isn't a guest ticket, the app shows This code is not a guest QR code. Scan the guest's ticket again.


Scan From The Dashboard With A Paired Phone

Use this when you run check-in on a laptop. Your phone scans the code, and the dashboard finds the guest.

Before You Start

Your phone must be signed in to the Admin App, have the app open, and be paired with the dashboard. See How To Pair A Phone And Laptop.

  1. In the dashboard header, click the devices icon next to your email address. Follow the steps to pair your phone.

Webcam Opens Instead Of Your Phone?

If no phone is paired, Scan QR Code uses your computer's webcam. Check that the Admin App is open on your phone and paired, then try again.
