QR code event check-in that writes to your Google Sheet — no app for staff
Door staff scan guest QR codes from any phone browser. Each check-in appears instantly in your Google Sheet. No event platform, no app download, no per-attendee fees.
Free tier available — no credit card required
Why event coordinators switch to QR to Sheets
Dedicated check-in apps that charge per attendee or per event
Flat $7/device/month — scan as many guests as you want
Staff download and learn a new app before every event
Staff open a URL. That's it. Works on their own phone in 10 seconds.
Attendance data trapped in the platform's database
Every check-in writes to your Google Sheet — you own the data
Built for event coordinators, not software teams
No integrations to configure, no developer needed, no new platform to learn.
Staff scan from any phone — no app
Door staff open a scanner link URL on any phone or tablet. No app install, no shared login, no training needed. If they can open a website, they can run check-in.
Check-in data lands in your Google Sheet
Every scan appends a row — or updates the guest's existing row — with a timestamp and check-in status. Your spreadsheet becomes a live attendance record you own and control.
Fast: under 1 second per guest
Open camera, scan, confirmed. Each check-in takes under a second. Multiple staff can scan simultaneously from separate phones — no queue, no bottleneck at the door.
Works when signal drops
Scans are saved to the device if connectivity drops. When signal returns, they sync automatically. Perfect for venues with patchy WiFi or basements.
Your data stays in your spreadsheet
Unlike event platforms that lock attendee data in their own database, every check-in writes to a Google Sheet you own. Export, analyse, or share it — no vendor lock-in.
Live check-in stats as it happens
Monitor checked-in vs total invited in real time from the admin dashboard. See which guests have arrived without leaving your seat.
From guest list to live check-in in four steps
Add your guest list to a Google Sheet
Your attendee list in any spreadsheet format — name, email, ticket reference. QR to Sheets reads directly from your existing sheet, no reformatting required.
Create a scanner link for the door
Create one scanner link for your door staff. The link opens a camera scanner in any phone browser. No app, no shared password — just a URL they bookmark.
Guests show their QR code or ticket
If you use the Events add-on, each guest receives a personalised QR invitation. Or scan any printed ticket, badge, or QR code tied to your guest list.
Each scan writes instantly to your sheet
The check-in timestamp is written directly to the guest's row in your Google Sheet. Your attendance record updates in real time — no post-event data import needed.
Also need to send QR invitations to guests?
The Events add-on handles the full lifecycle: import your RSVP list from Google Sheets, send each guest a personalised QR invitation by email, then scan them in at the door. Check-in timestamps write back to your original RSVP row automatically.
Learn about the Events add-onCommon questions
Do door staff need to download an app?+
No. Staff open the scanner link URL on any phone browser — iPhone or Android. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no training required. If they can open a website, they can run check-in.
Can multiple staff scan simultaneously at different doors?+
Yes. The same scanner link (or separate links for each entrance) can be opened on any number of phones at once. All scans write to the same Google Sheet in real time.
Does it work if the venue has bad WiFi?+
Yes. Scans are saved to the device immediately. When connectivity returns — even minutes later — they sync to your Google Sheet automatically. No scan is ever lost.
What if a guest doesn't have their QR code?+
Staff can type a guest's name or reference manually using the manual entry fallback on the scanner screen. No guest gets turned away due to a missing QR code.
Can I see a live count of who has checked in?+
Yes. The admin dashboard shows real-time check-in stats. Your Google Sheet also updates live — you can share a view-only link with event managers who want to monitor attendance.
Do I need the Events add-on for check-in?+
No. Basic check-in scanning works on any plan — you create a scanner link, staff scan QR codes, and results go to your sheet. The Events add-on adds personalised QR invitations per guest and write-back to the guest's original RSVP row.
