Publish an event, let people register, and email each one a PDF ticket with a QR code. At the door, scan the QR with any phone to check them in — no separate app, no monthly fee.
Event ticketing on WordPress is dominated by a few big plugins that gate the basics behind expensive add-ons and bury simple RSVP-and-check-in under calendars you don’t need. The most-installed free option carries a wall of one- and two-star reviews — people just want to take a registration and scan a ticket at the door, and end up paying for three extensions to do it.
Each attendee gets a PDF ticket with a unique QR code, emailed automatically on registration.
A logged-in staff member scans the QR with a phone to mark the attendee present. The public only ever sees “valid ticket”.
Set a capacity and the form shows seats-left and closes automatically when full.
See who’s registered and who’s checked in, and export the whole list to CSV.
Drop [rs_events] for an upcoming list, or the registration form onto any event page.
Tickets and QR codes are generated on your server. Nothing phones home.
The plugin is free on WordPress.org. Pro adds the power features for teams and busy stores — one licence, a year of updates and support.
The free plugin is heading to the WordPress.org directory. Leave your email and I’ll tell you the day it’s live.
