You can streamline your event check-in process by connecting an external scanner to the Evey Check-in mobile apps. These apps are available for:
Web version (Note: Camera scanning is not supported in the web app)
Each user who checks in attendees will use a separate account, which you can create directly from the Shopify app dashboard.
Using External Scanners
The Evey Check-in apps support most major external barcode scanners. Here's what you need to know to get started:
Bluetooth (HID Mode) Required
Scanners must support Bluetooth HID mode, which allows them to act like a keyboard. This is typically the default mode for most devices.
Tip: If scanning doesn’t work initially, consult your scanner’s manual and enable HID mode.
Speed & Performance Settings
For best results, look for and enable any settings related to faster data transmission. This setting may be labeled Transfer Rate or Fast Mode.
Example:
Tera brand scanners can be set to “Fast” transfer rate by scanning a special configuration barcode found in the user manual.
Using a Socket Mobile Scanner (Apple Devices Only)
If you're using a Socket Mobile scanner (the same model used in Shopify POS setups) with an Apple device, you can take advantage of:
Direct scanning integration for improved performance
HID mode support if you prefer using it as a Bluetooth keyboard
