Frequently asked questions
How do QR codes work for event check-in?
Attendees show their ticket QR code at the entrance. Staff scan it with a phone or tablet to validate the ticket and mark attendance — typically under 3 seconds per person.
Can QR codes prevent ticket fraud?
Yes — unique QR codes per ticket can only be scanned once. Dynamic codes add another layer by enabling real-time validation against a database.
How do sponsors benefit from event QR codes?
QR codes on sponsor booths and materials track engagement. Sponsors get data on how many attendees interacted with their content.
