Event check-in app

The check-in app for the door: scan, print, count.

Scan the QR ticket on any phone, print the badge at your desk or a kiosk, watch the live count climb, and keep going when the hall has no signal. Included with every event, at $0 a scan and $0 a device.

  • Any phone is a scanner. your volunteers open a link on their own phones and scan. No hardware to hire, no app store account, nothing to return on Monday.
  • Badges without the stuffing. scan, print, hand over, about 4 seconds each. Per-type templates on any label printer, or a kiosk the attendee runs themselves.
  • Works offline. your hall has no signal at 9 am on day one. The app keeps scanning and printing, and syncs when the signal returns.

What the check-in app does

Scan. Print. Count. Close the door.

Scan

QR codes from Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, the email, the PDF or a printout, in under a second. Duplicate scans are refused with the reason and the first scan time on your screen.

Print

Badges from any label printer at your desk, one template per type: attendee, exhibitor, speaker, media. Batch-print the pre-registered thousands the night before.

Count

Real-time attendance per door and per session, on every scanner and in your dashboard, with the day bucketed into 30-minute slots so you can see when the door gets busy.

Badge printing

Per-ticket-type designs on the event’s own branding. What you see is what prints.

Kiosk

A tablet on a stand. The attendee scans their own ticket, the badge prints beside them, and your queue moves without a volunteer. Two kiosks clear a busy gate.

Sell at the door

The box office is the same phone. Walk-ups buy with tap to pay, the sale, the ticket and the scan happen in one motion, and the money lands in your Stripe account.

Offline mode

Scans are stored on the device and reconciled when the signal returns. The duplicate check still runs against the local list, so nobody gets in twice on your watch.

is a scanner; any label printer prints the badge

The check-in app is part of every Exhibitio event. Badge stock and printers are yours; we print to them.

How it works

From sold ticket to printed badge.

  1. Step 1

    Invite your door team

    Send named scanner links by email. Your team opens them on their own phones and sees only the check-in screen for your event. Links expire, and you can revoke any of them.

  2. Step 2

    Set up your printers

    Pair a label printer to each desk, pick the badge template per attendee type, test-print one. Ten minutes, once, with built-in guides for Brother and Zebra.

  3. Step 3

    Open the doors

    Scan from wallets, emails or printouts. Badges print as people arrive. Walk-ups buy and scan in one go, and your count starts climbing.

  4. Step 4

    Watch the count

    The live number per door and per session on every device, and door traffic in 30-minute slots in your dashboard. Export the check-in times when the show closes.

The scanner, on any phone

This is the door in your volunteer’s hand.

You send a scanner link by email, they open it on their own phone, and this screen is all they see: the camera, the result, the live count for their door. A scan resolves in under a second, and a second scan of the same ticket is refused with the reason and the time of the first one on screen.

  • Scanner links are named, expiring and revocable, so a lost phone is a revoked link, not a hole in your door
  • The one-check-in-per-ticket-per-day rule is enforced by the database, not by the volunteer
  • Walk-ups buy on the same device with tap to pay, and the sale settles to your Stripe account
  • No signal in the hall: scans store on the device and reconcile when it returns

The check-in app is a link, not an app store download. Every scan is verified against your event, and duplicates are refused on the spot.

Every pass, one scanner

Four kinds of pass will hit your door. All four scan.

Attendee tickets

Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, the QR in the confirmation email, the PDF, or a printout. The scanner reads all five, so nobody is turned away for showing the wrong format.

Exhibitor passes

Staff passes carry their own QR and redeem once at the desk. Each exhibitor’s lanyard count is capped at what their booth includes, and the cap is enforced by the system, not an argument at the door.

Session tickets

Timed-entry tickets show their session to the scanner, with early and late arrivals flagged inside your grace window. The room count closes the session when it is full.

Forwarded tickets

An attendee can send one ticket from their order to the person actually attending, with the name updated. The door sees the current holder, not the buyer’s inbox.

The exhibitor door

Bump-in has its own desk, not a clipboard.

Exhibitors arrive a day before your attendees, with a van and three staff members. The registration desk shows each exhibitor on one row: their booth allocation, their payment state and their lanyards, so the person on the desk answers “where are we” and “are we paid up” without radioing you.

  • Staff passes redeem once each, against the exhibitor’s own roster
  • Lanyards are counted against the booth’s cap as they are handed over
  • The booth number is on the desk row, so directions come with the badge
  • An unpaid balance shows at the desk, which is the one place it always gets settled

Badge printing at scale

The night-before run, the morning queue, the reprint.

Batch-print the pre-registered badges the night before doors, one scope, one job, every ticket stamped as printed so the desk knows who already holds one. On the morning, the arrived queue shows who has checked in and is still waiting on a badge, for the minutes when the printer is behind the crowd.

200

badges per print page in a batch run, so 3,000 badges is 15 documents, not one 40MB file

2 sizes

Audited

every badge print is stamped with who printed it and when, and reprints show at the desk

Setup guides are built in for the Brother QL family (62mm x 100mm continuous roll) and Zebra direct thermal printers (4 x 6 inch labels or tag stock). Your printers, your badge stock; the platform prints to them at $0 a badge.

What it costs

Flat fees. Never a percentage.

$0.99 a ticket, $15 a booth, $25 a sponsorship, each one passable to the buyer with one toggle. Free tickets are free. The money settles into your own Stripe account on Stripe's schedule, not ours, and there is no contract and no monthly plan.

Questions organisers ask

The check-in app on Exhibitio

Does the check-in app work offline?

Yes. Each device carries the attendee list and keeps scanning and printing when the signal drops. Scans are stored locally and synced when it returns, and the duplicate check runs against the local list in the meantime.

Can I print badges at the door?

Yes. Pair a label printer to the desk and the badge prints when the ticket is scanned, using a template per attendee type, on the A6 card or the 62mm roll label. A kiosk does the same with the attendee scanning their own ticket.

How do exhibitor passes and lanyards work at the door?

Exhibitor staff passes carry their own QR and redeem once each at the registration desk. The desk row shows the exhibitor’s booth allocation, payment state and lanyard count, and lanyards are capped at what the booth includes.

How many attendees an hour can one kiosk handle?

A scan and print takes a few seconds, so a single kiosk with a printer clears several hundred an hour if the queue keeps moving. Busy gates run two or three kiosks beside a staffed desk for the exceptions.

Can volunteers use it, and what can they see?

Yes. Send them a named scanner link by email, they open it on their own phone, and they see only the check-in screen for your event. Links expire on the date you set, and you can revoke one the moment a phone goes missing.

Does it show real-time attendance?

Yes. Every scanner and your dashboard show the live number in the hall, per door and per session, plus door traffic in 30-minute slots per show day, so you can staff the desk for the rush instead of guessing it.

Can it stop a screenshot or a duplicated ticket?

Yes. Every QR is verified against your event, and access control is one active check-in per ticket per day, enforced by the database itself. A weekend pass walks back in on day 2 of a multi-day event; a copied QR is refused with the time of the first scan.

Can I check someone in from the attendee list without a scan?

Yes. The registration desk searches the attendee list by name and checks the ticket in from the roster, for the attendee whose phone died in the queue. The same rules apply: one active check-in per ticket per day, on the desk’s screen.

Can an attendee check in from their phone?

At a kiosk, yes: they scan their own wallet ticket and the badge prints beside them. Self check-in without a kiosk is not offered, because the door should know who walked in.

Your door, on any phone, with badges that print themselves. Included with every event at $0 a scan.
