Quick answer

What is QR code check-in?

Updated August 23, 2026. Publisher: QR Code Ticket by Darkaa.

QR code check-in means every attendee receives a unique QR code before the event, and door staff scan that code to verify entry. With QR Code Ticket, the codes are generated straight from your Google Sheet rows or Google Form responses, delivered to guests by email or WhatsApp, and scanned with any phone. Each scan is validated against your list in real time and written back to the sheet, so your attendance record stays accurate without clipboards or guesswork.

From spreadsheet to scanned guest in three steps

1

Connect your list

Install the add-on on your existing Google Sheet or Form. Every row or response becomes an attendee record — no migration, no re-typing.

2

Send QR tickets

Guests receive a personal QR code by email or WhatsApp. Branded PDF tickets are supported, one per attendee.

3

Scan at the door

Staff open the check-in screen on any phone and scan. Valid tickets flash green, duplicates are flagged, and attendance syncs back to your sheet.

QR code check-in FAQs

Do I need special hardware?

No. Any smartphone or tablet with a camera works as a scanner, and multiple devices can scan the same list at once.

What if the venue internet is unreliable?

Scanning keeps working offline and results sync back to Google Sheets once you reconnect. Your door never stops for Wi-Fi.

Can a ticket be used twice?

No. A scan of an already checked-in ticket is flagged immediately, so staff can resolve it on the spot.

How much does it cost?

Free for up to 10 attendees. For larger guest lists, prepaid check-in credits let you pay only for the size of your event.
