How Does the Event Ticket Scanner Work?
For every paid order, Anchor Operating System sends you a confirmation email. It also leads to the automated issuance of an electronic PDF ticket for every ticket purchase. Every ticket carries its unique barcode just, valid for the specific event.
It’s similar to an airplane boarding pass, and customers can prefer to print paper tickets from their printer at home. However, few people who like to go green can choose to retrieve their email receipt on their smartphone to display the barcode for a quick scan. Anchor Operating System barcode scanner works for digital and paper barcodes at single and multiple entrances.
Scanning Event Tickets
As the customer presents the ticket at the entrance, your volunteer or staff member will scan the barcode. You can also see the thing’s progress in your Android barcode scanner app or the iOS barcode scanner app alongside the cloud storage. The barcode scanning app will also act as your ticket sales app. It allows you to scan and sell tickets from a single app. In addition, the Anchor iO app will enable you to purchase or rent barcode scanners. A valid barcoded ticket is recorded as a green response displaying against the buyer’s name and the purchased ticket barcode ID.
Prevents Fraudulent Admission
Anchor Operating System barcode ticket scanner won’t allow duplicate tickets or fraudulent entries from getting access. If there are additional attempts on a ticket to gain entry, the scanner shows “Already Scanned”. Also, it displays the time of the original scan, the winter or the staff member who has scanned the barcode in the initial attempt. Finally, the scanner will show “Invalid” for customers presenting an invalid ticket. Old tickets or tickets for similar events occurring on different dates get displayed in this manner.
The Case of Lost Tickets
It’s not unusual for customers to lose their tickets. At times, they may forget to print their tickets before leaving their home; they may lose their tickets on their way to the venue. In addition, there have been incidents of customers spilling a drink over the tickets and making the barcode unreadable. Anchor Operating System covers you for such situations. Use the order lookup tool in the Anchor OS app with the customer’s order ID. It lets you know if the tickets have been scanned yet. Now, you can virtually scan the ticket to mark it scanned. This prevents any other custom from coming with the same spoiled tickets claiming to have lost them. This means you can also scan customers who come without tickets.
