The ticket is designed for entry and exit control. Additionally, for ongoing events, it can be utilized for attendance tracking. Standard commercial scanners, a webcam, or a smartphone can be used to scan ticket barcodes.
For your ticketing, various barcode options are available in the main navigation under the «Settings» menu item, specifically under «Barcode».
Barcode Type
This setting allows you to define which code type should be used for your tickets. We recommend verifying which codes your code reader can interpret and selecting a code accordingly. Available options are:
-
PDF417
-
QR Code
-
Data Matrix
Tip: Which Scanner?
For instance, we can recommend using the QuickScan QBT2400. This model is available, for example, on Amazon. You are free to choose any brand and scanner type. It is crucial that the scanner supports the barcode types you implement.
Barcode Generation
Here you can specify whether a barcode should be generated for each participant and delivered via Ticket.pdf. The email template «Attachment: Ticket.pdf» will be used.
