# How to Generate and Scan QR code(Pro)

A QR code for event tickets is a unique, scannable code that encodes important information about both the event and the ticket holder. By utilizing QR codes through a top-tier event management plugin like **Eventin**, organizers can streamline the entry process, enhance security, and provide a more seamless and convenient experience for attendees. This technology simplifies check-in, reduces waiting times, and ensures a smooth and efficient event entry for everyone involved.

**Note:** For managing your event tickets with QR code, you should know[how to enable registration and sell tickets](https://themewinter.com/docs/plugins/plugin-docs/attendee/how-to-purchase-tickets-on-eventin/)first.
**Note:**You need to use**[Eventin Pro](https://themewinter.com/eventin/)** in order to get QR Code features for ticket validation. Without Eventin Pro, you will not see the QR Code features in your eventin dashboard.

**At Eventin, a unique QR Code can be generated for each attendee. The admin can scan to confirm the participants.** In this *document*, we will be looking at how you can generate and manage QR Codes for event ticket management. But first, let's see the advantages of QR Codes.

- **Quick and error-free system**
- **Possible to track**
- **Real-time actionable**
- **More informative**
- **Engaging with updated content**

Once you activate the**Eventin Pro** and generate a ticket, you will see a unique QR Code on the ticket automatically. **Ticket with QR Code sample goes here:**

## **How to Scan Event Ticket's QR Code:**

You can scan the event ticket's QR code with any scanner. Any scanning app for **Android and iOS phones** is fine to scan the tickets. You can also scan with other QR Code scanner devices that are connected to your device. You can use a wired or wireless QR Code scanner in order to scan the event's ticket.

### **Attendee Verification Process Using QR code:**

The event attendee verification process typically involves confirming the identity of individuals attending an event to ensure that only authorized attendees gain entry.

In Eventin, there are **two ways** to verify the attendee's ticket. You can scan the attendee ticket using a QR code either automatically or manually.

1. **Single Step for Auto Check-in.**
2. **Two Steps for Manual Check-in**

Navigate to **Eventin->Settings-> Event Settings > Attendee**s and set the attendee verification process that you want to use.

### **Two Steps for Manual Check-in**

Two-step manual check-in is another effective feature of **Eventin** that typically involves a process where event attendees are checked in manually using a list or database of registered participants.

**Note:** A smart device / scanner is required to leverage this feature.
**Note:** From the admin panel, the admin can update the used/unused status of each ticket at any time.

Here's the proces you should follow for the manual check-in-

Go to your **Eventin dashboard** and then Event **Attendees -> Ticket Scanner (button)**and it will start the scanner in your device. Then scan the ticket. You will get the option to **confirm/reject**the scanning on the ticket.
