Using QR Codes Within Your Event

Written by Benjamin Dell

HeySummit creates a unique QR code for each purchased ticket, add-on, and donation. For in-person and hybrid events, these QR codes can be used to verify attendee entry and mark purchases as checked in.

Attendees can find their QR codes by logging in to the event and opening My Purchases. Each purchase card shows its QR code, and the purchase menu lets the attendee open or download a receipt/PDF that includes the same QR code.

Registration and payment emails for events with an in-person component can also include the relevant QR code, so attendees can present it from their inbox or from their event account.

To scan QR codes at the event, the scanner should be logged in as the event owner, staff, or a team member with attendee check-in permission. When the QR code is scanned, HeySummit verifies the purchase and marks it as checked in. If the same QR code is scanned again, the check-in page shows that the ticket has already been verified.

After verifying the main purchase QR code, the check-in page can also show optional controls for checking the attendee into individual talks. This uses the same ticket QR code and is helpful when you want session-level attendance tracking as well as event entry tracking.
