On Hipsy, organisations can make use of the ticket service to sell tickets for events. With this Hipsy check-in app, you have the ability to check in participants for events where you have sold tickets. The app also provides a real-time overview of all sold tickets. Participants can be checked in in two ways: manually via the participant list or by using the camera QR scanner to scan the QR code on the tickets. Using convenient filters and search options, you have a clear view of who has and hasn't checked in and what type of tickets participants have purchased. Do you have a large event and delegate the check-in process to your crew? No problem! With the handy crew login feature, you can give people direct access to a specific event 24/7.
