Guest Check-In

How guests check in with a QR code — no app download required.

What it is

Guest check-in lets visitors register their attendance by scanning a QR code with their phone camera. No app download is required — guests fill in a short form and are checked in instantly.

Where to find it

  • Guest check-in page: /checkin?church={your-church-slug}
  • Share link & QR: Dashboard home → Quick Actions
  • Live feed: Dashboard home and Dashboard → Attendance

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Get your check-in link — From the dashboard, open Quick Actions and copy the check-in URL or download the QR code image.
  2. Display the QR code — Print it on a sign, show it on a screen, or place it at your church entrance.
  3. Guest scans the code — Guests open their phone camera, scan the QR code, and land on your branded check-in form.
  4. Guest fills in details — They enter first name, last name, phone number (required), email (optional), and consent to receive updates.
  5. Optional group selection — If you have groups configured, guests can select one to join during check-in.
  6. Submit — The guest is checked in and appears in your live attendance feed within seconds.
  7. Optional giving prompt — If enabled in check-in settings, guests may see a giving prompt after check-in.

Tips & common issues

  • Works for any event — Use check-in for Sunday services, youth events, conferences, classes, and volunteer meetings.
  • Manual check-in — Volunteers can check in guests from Dashboard → Attendance by enabling check-in mode, or via the Quick Action ?checkin=true link.
  • Duplicate prevention — Check-in settings let you set a duplicate window so the same person isn't checked in twice within a short period.
