How-to: Check In Event Attendees and A-Thon or Peer-to-Peer Participants
Check in attendees or participants for your in-person Event or A-Thon.
Whether you're running a gala, jog-a-thon, conference, or other in-person fundraiser, it’s easy to check in attendees or participants from your RallyUp account. Marking people as checked in when they arrive can help you manage attendance and keep accurate reports.
If you're running an A-Thon or Peer-to-Peer fundraiser, you can check in participants manually. If you're running an Event, you can check in attendees manually or enable QR code check-in.
Manual Check-In
- Select Campaigns from the left menu.
- If you have chosen a list view, click on the Campaign title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Campaign image.
- To check in Event attendees, select View Ticket Registrations*. To check in A-Thon or Peer-to-Peer participants, select View Participants*.
- Type the person’s name into the search bar.
- Click on the three-dot menu on the right and select Mark as checked in:
You can see which attendees are checked in by looking at the Checked In column in the table. You can also export a spreadsheet of all attendee data.
QR Code Check-In
QR code check-in is currently only available for Events. You'll need to enable QR code check-in when you set up your Campaign to use it during your Event.
Enable QR Code Check-In
- Select Campaigns from the left menu.

- Scroll down to Enable QR code check-in and click on the toggle to move it to the right:
When donors purchase tickets, their QR code(s) will be included in their registration email:
You can enable QR code check-in anytime, even if your Campaign is already live. Please note, however, that anyone who purchased Event tickets before you enable this setting won't have a QR code. In this case, you'll need to resend the registration emails for each purchase.
Resend QR Code
If an attendee purchased a ticket before QR code check-in was enabled, or if they lost their QR code, you can easily resend it anytime.
- Select Campaigns from the left menu.
- If you have chosen a list view, click on the Campaign title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Campaign image.
