If you’re using Expo Pass for both Badge Printing and Onsite Registration, you can enable QR Code Check-In to offer a contactless, fast, and accurate experience for your attendees at the iPad kiosks.

There are two ways attendees can receive their QR Code:

  1. Via the Registration Confirmation Email

  2. Via the Check-In QR Code Email (required for manually added attendees)

Attendees can either display their QR Code on their mobile device or bring a printed copy to check in.

👉 If you plan to manually add any attendees to your event via upload or single-add, you must use the QR Code Email.


Option 1: Registration Confirmation Email (For Pre-Registration)

If you’re using Expo Pass for Pre-Registration or Onsite Registration, attendees will automatically receive a confirmation email that includes a PDF receipt with the QR Code.

Important Setup Step:

  • Go to your event’s Event Settings in the left nav bar of your event.

  • Ensure that “Confirmation Emails Enabled” is toggled to Yes.

📨 These emails are sent from: support@exposent.com


Option 2: Check-In QR Code Email (For Uploaded or Manually Added Attendees)

If you manually upload or single-add attendees, they will not receive the standard confirmation email and must instead receive a dedicated Check-In QR Code Email.

How to Set It Up:

  1. Log into your event and go to Event Settings ➔ Emails

  2. Toggle ON “Check-In QR Code Email”

  3. Choose the date and time you want the email to send

Scheduling Tips:

  • Send the email at least 2 hours before check-in starts each day

  • You can only schedule one send at a time

    • After it sends, return to reschedule the next one

📨 These emails are also sent from: support@exposent.com

What If the QR Code Doesn’t Show in the Email?

Some email clients (like Outlook) may block images.

No worries — the email also includes a PDF attachment with the attendee’s QR Code for backup scanning.


Manually Send a QR Code to a Single Attendee

Need to send a QR Code to just one person? You can do that directly from the Attendee Data Table.

Steps:

  1. Log into your event and go to the Attendees section

  2. Check the box next to the attendee's name

  3. Click Actions ➔ Email QR Code

📨 The attendee will receive their QR Code from support@exposent.com
