# Scan and Check In Tickets with the Fikets Scanner

> Check guests in from your phone with the built-in Fikets scanner — no app to install, and it keeps working even if the venue WiFi drops.

Fikets has a built-in ticket scanner that runs right in your phone's browser — there's no app to install. Once you've downloaded your tickets to the device, it keeps checking people in even if the venue WiFi drops, and syncs everything back when you're online again.

## Opening the scanner

- Open Scan Tickets from the top of your Event Dashboard sidebar.

- Tap Download tickets once while you're online — the scanner caches this event's tickets on the device so it keeps working if the network drops.

- Point the camera at each attendee's ticket QR code and tap Check in.

## Hands-free mode for self-service gates

Running an unmanned or fast-moving entrance? Turn on hands-free mode and the scanner checks guests in automatically as they present their QR code — no tapping between each person.

## Good to know

- Only tickets for this event are downloaded, and only for team members with access to it.

- Check-ins made offline sync automatically once you're back online.

- Add gate staff under Team Members so each person's check-ins are attributed to them.

- Use the latest version of Chrome or Safari, on a device with a working camera, and allow camera access when prompted.

- The scanner also reads the payment QR (transaction reference), so a guest showing their receipt still checks in.
