- Fully charged Apple devices for scanning (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch)
- The latest iOS system downloaded on each device
- Make sure you have the official VenuePilot Box Office App downloaded onto each device

- Note: make sure employees who will be scanning tickets have permissions to view the event’s will call list. Need help? Visit our “Create a Role & Inviting a Team Member to your Organization” for more information.
- Backup portable chargers for the scanning devices

Scan and Check-in Attendees
You can check in attendees one of three ways:
- To start, go to your Attendees' List from inside the event you wish to check-in.
- Tap the Camera Icon: The camera icon is found inside of the attendees' list. Tapping the icon will bring up a camera that scans the QR code that is attached to the ticket. Once the camera is on you can immediately begin scanning tickets.
- Swipe on the Attendees' List: Swipe right to scan all or the next scannable ticket within the order. You can also tap the order to bring up individual barcode numbers.
- To check out a ticket, swipe left on the order.
- 'Unscan all' will check out all tickets within the order.
- 'Unscan next' will check out one ticket within the order.
- To Check in Individual Tickets within a larger order: Tap on the ticket purchaser's name to bring up the individual ticket ids within the order. Tap on the checkbox next to the ticket to select the ones you would like to check in. Tap 'check in' at the bottom to finish.
