Lösen Sie sich von teuren, provisionsbasierten Ticket-Anbietern und nehmen Sie Ihr Schicksal selbst in die Hand. Mit der Ticketscanner-App in Kombination mit dem Shopware-Plugin "Tickets for Shopware" verkaufen und validieren Sie in Sekundenschnelle selbst Ihre Veranstaltungstickets. Die Scanner-App können Sie kinderleicht mit Ihrer Shopware-Installation verbinden. Sie können dann mit der in Ihrem Smartphone intergrierten Kamera die QR-Codes der Tickets scannen und validieren. Die App bietet zwei Scan-Modi: 1. Live-Modus: Gescannte Tickets werden live mit Shopware synchronisiert, so können Sie (Internet-Verbindung vorausgesetzt) mit mehreren Scannern gleichzeitig Personen einlassen. Wird ein Ticket gescannt, wird dies auch auf die anderen, gleichzeitig eingesetzt Geräte synchronisiert. Somit wird ein Doppel-Einlass vollständig ausgeschlossen (Empfohlen) 2. Offline-Modus: Steht in Ihrer Event-Location keine Internet-Verbindung zur Verfügung, können alle verkauften Tickets vorab in die App synchronisiert werden. Somit können Tickets am Einlass auch offline gescannt werden. In diesem Fall empfehlen wir, nur mit einem Scanner gleichzeitig zu arbeiten, da sonst eine Mehrfachverwendung nicht vollständig ausgeschlossen werden kann. Eine genaue Installations- und Benutzungsanleitung finden Sie in unserem Wiki unter: https://wiki.fgit.de/display/STI/Ticketscanner-App
