Live counts & the Door Staff role

Check-in app ·4 min read ·Updated June 2026
You’re here because…

you want gate staff to scan tickets without having full admin access, and you want to watch the door fill up in real time.

The check-in app is built to be handed to staff safely and to show how the door is doing at a glance.

The Door Staff role

Activating the add-on adds a Door Staff role with one capability: check people in. Give gate staff that role (or a WordPress account that has the check-in capability) and they can use the app without access to events, orders, settings or anything else in wp-admin. If you ever need to revoke access, remove the role.

Live counts

The top of the scan screen shows sold, checked in and remaining for the event, updating as people come through. You can have the counts auto-refresh on an interval so a supervisor’s device is always current.

Live sold / checked-in / remaining at the top of the scan screen.
Live sold / checked-in / remaining at the top of the scan screen.

Undo a mistake

Managers can undo the last check-in if a ticket was scanned by accident — it reverts the entry and the counts. This can be limited to managers so ordinary door staff can’t reverse entries.
