The Ultimate Guide to QR Code Event Check-In

Why QR Code Check-In?

Paper lists and manual check-in are relics of the past. QR code check-in offers:

**Speed**: Check-in times drop from 45 seconds to under 5

**Accuracy**: No more spelling mistakes or crossed-out names

**Security**: Unique, scannable codes prevent ticket fraud

**Data**: Know exactly who's at your event in real-time

How QR Check-In Works

Every ticket on pullup includes a unique QR code that:

1. **Updates dynamically** to prevent screenshots and sharing

2. **Works offline** so you're never stuck if WiFi fails

3. **Syncs instantly** across all your door staff's devices

Best Practices for Smooth Check-In

Before the Event

**Download the pullup app** on all devices you'll use at the door

**Test your setup** with a sample ticket

**Brief your door staff** on the app and any VIP tagging

At the Door

**Position scanners at chest height** for fastest scanning

**Have a backup device** charged and ready

**Create a separate VIP line** if applicable
