Overview

 Back to top

2D QR barcodes are a great way to quickly and efficiently check your Guests in upon arrival.

When activated, the QR code add-on places a booking-specific barcode into your Customer's invoice which can then be scanned by you or your Staff using a mobile device. This allows for a quick and easy way to check in and check out your Guests.

 

Attention

You need the Checkfront Mobile application to scan the QR Barcodes. Our mobile application is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Please select the appropriate link below to learn more!

 

Setting up your QR Barcodes

QR Barcodes Tile

Scroll down to find the QR Barcodes tile under the Productivity category. Click on this tile to open up the setup window.

 

QR Barcode Setup

Decide if you want your QR codes to show up in Grey or Black and then click the Activate button. Your QR Barcodes are now activated!

 

QR Barcode Invoice

The QR codes display immediately on invoices, and you are able to scan in your Customers!

 

Learn More

QR Barcodes can be embedded in an emailed Customer invoice by following these steps:

  1. Create or edit an instant or scheduled notification in the Notifications area (Manage > Notifications).
  2. In the notification body, include the {%EMBED_INVOICE} email variable, or you can include the {$BOOKING_QR_CODE} email variable if you want the barcode to show separately.

Note

While the QR Barcodes apply to the invoices immediately, the emails your Customers have already received are not updated. You need to send your Customers updated versions of the invoices that include the new barcodes.
