Guests point their phone camera at your QR code, fill in a short form and they're checked in. They don't need an app or an account.
Before you start
- Your church name and logo are set up in Settings → Church, so the form looks like yours.
- You have somewhere to put the QR code: a printed sign, the bulletin, or the screen before service.
Set it up
- Get your QR code — Click Share Check-In Link at the top of the dashboard. Copy the link, or download the QR code. You'll also find both in Settings → Church.
- Put it where people will see it — Print it for the entrance, seats or tables, add it to your bulletin, or show it on the screen before service starts.
- Guests scan and fill in a short form — They enter their mobile number and first name. If they've been before, Steadyfaith recognizes them; if it's their first visit, they add a few details. That's it — they're checked in.
- Watch check-ins arrive — New check-ins show up in Attendance within seconds. Click anyone to see their details and visit history.
Showing the code on a screen
If you put the QR code on a TV or projector, use the check-in display page: steadyfaith.io/checkin/display?church=YOUR-CHURCH-CODE. Its code refreshes every 30 seconds, so someone can't check in later from a photo of the screen. Your church code is in Settings → Church.
Printed QR codes don't change, so they're fine to leave out on seats and tables.
When a guest doesn't have a phone
A greeter can check them in on a tablet or laptop with Check-In Mode. It searches your directory by name or phone, and adds new guests in a few taps.
Common questions
Do guests need to download an app? No. They use the camera already on their phone. Members can also add your church's member web app to their home screen for quicker check-in next time — see Member signup & portal.
What if someone checks in twice? Steadyfaith ignores a repeat check-in from the same person for a while. You choose how long in Check-in settings.
Can I use this for events other than Sunday? Yes — youth nights, classes, conferences and volunteer meetings all work the same way.
