This app serves as a barcode scanner to use at the entrance of your events in conjunction with a ThunderTix account. The scanner quickly scans and transmits each barcode scanned (C128 barcodes) with visuals, sounds and haptic responses. Staff members will see the name of the ticket buyer, their ticket type and seat assignment, if applicable, at the time of any valid scan along with any additional notes posted to the order. ThunderTix is a box office software offered as a monthly service for performing arts venues, live music, festivals and tours. This app also includes a mobile point of sale (POS) for orders on-the-go. The sales app allows logged-in users with appropriate user permissions to select from available upcoming events to process ticket orders and available merchandise. With an optional credit card magnetic swipe reader, users can quickly process ticket orders by swiping a card or simply key in the credit card by hand. Cash orders can also easily be sold and tracked on-site. All data is transmitted real-time to your ThunderTix account. With an active ThunderTix account, tickets are validated to the Cloud in real-time. There is no limit to the number of users scanning tickets at the event and the app can be used in combination with multiple devices. If a single ticket is attempted to be used more than once, users are alerted that the ticket has already been scanned with the date/time of the scan as well as the person/entrance where it was scanned. At any moment, you’ll know how many tickets have been scanned and how many remain to be checked in. App compatible with iPhone 4S-11+ and iPad Air, Pro and mini. Credit card reader available with iPhone 4S/5/6/6+ and iPad Air, Pro and mini. Requires iOS 15+.
