How to check in your attendees

Manage your event entry by screening valid ticket holders and tracking your attendance using our check-in tools

Checking in is optional, but it helps ensure only ticket holders enter your event and provides accurate attendance data for your reporting and marketing.

The easiest way to check in guests is using the Humanitix for Hosts app, which is free to download on any phone or tablet.

You can also check in guests via the Humanitix console, or print a guest list for a manual option.


Check in guests using the Humanitix for Hosts app

Use the Humanitix for Hosts app to track sales and turn your phone or tablet into a lightning-fast ticket scanner and check in your guests:

  • Scan the QR code on the attendees' tickets using the device's camera, OR

  • Search for attendees manually using their name or Order ID

Download the app by searching for Humanitix for Hosts in your device's app store:
- iOS App Store
- Google Play Store

Do you have multiple staff or volunteers checking in attendees?

Multiple people can download the Humanitix for Hosts app and check in attendees for the same event, at the same time. Check-in data is synced across all devices.


Check in guests via the attendees report on your browser

If you have a small box office or welcome station with a laptop and/or tablet setup, you can use the Humanitix console to manually check in guests.

This is also a great option if you happen to also be updating details, creating orders, and managing other data as you go along.

  2. Manage your event via the events tab

  3. Navigate to manage attendees > attendees

  4. Search for your attendees and click check-in

  1. Mange your event via the events tab

  2. Head to manage attendees > attendees

  3. Select export attendees in the top right

  4. Choose either CSV or PDF Guest List
