Install the check-in app
You’re here because…
you want to scan tickets at the door from a phone — and install it like an app so staff just tap an icon.
The Check-in app turns any phone or tablet into a door scanner. It runs in the browser — no app store — and installs to the home screen as a Progressive Web App.
Open it
- With the add-on active, the app lives at your site’s /checkin/ URL (you can change the slug in Venuera → Settings → Check-in).
- Door staff sign in with a WordPress account that has check-in access (see the Door Staff role).
- Pick the event — and the date, for a recurring event — and the scan screen opens.
Install to the home screen
Use the browser’s Add to Home Screen / Install option to put the app on the device. It then launches full-screen from its own icon, so staff aren’t fumbling with browser tabs at the door.
Ways to scan
You can admit people three ways: the phone camera, a USB or Bluetooth reader, or by typing the ticket code into the manual box. All three run the same check-in rules.
Next step
Set up the most common method: camera scanning.
