Wristband exchange (checkin and wristband exchange by the same person using the Qflow checkin app).

Checkin app setup

  • Log into the event on the Qflow check in app (sign in and download the event from the event listing display).

  • Go to the Settings area and enable the setting SCAN MODE Assign barcode

  • Return to the scan window and commence scanning.


  • Check the guest in by scanning their ticket.

  • Tap the guest's name which is displayed on screen after a scan (highlighted in red). This will take you into the guest profile page.

  • Select the Assign Code option in the Update barcode section (scroll down to the lower part of the page).

  • Scan the wristband QR code.

  • Confirm the updated QR code number via the on screen pop up. This will appear after you have successfully scanned the wristband code.

  • By selecting Yes the guest barcode will be updated to match the wristband barcode number, allowing the guest to be ID'ed instantly from a wristband scan.

    Please note - For re-entry into an event: The new wristband barcode number replaces (overwrites) the guests original ticket barcode number and is saved within the guests check in profile, so they can be securely scan checked out and scan checked back into the event, repeatedly if required.


Wristband exchange only (not including checkin first).

  • Search for a guest's name via the Guest list search or rescan their ticket.

  • Tap the name search / scan result to access their guest profile.

*If multiple instances of the guest name are listed (a multi purchase with only a lead name), please check if the barcode number matches the guest's exact ticket. You can do this by checking that the barcode number in the guest profile matches the entry ticket barcode number).

  • Scan the wristband QR code.

  • Confirm the QR code number update via the on screen pop up. This will appear after you have successfully scanned the wristband code.

  • Give the guest the wristband. They now can be ID'ed from a wristband scan.
