Set up QR code check-in

  • Faster to set up

  • Perfect for self-service environments

What Happens After Sign-In?

  • Your clerks will see the signed-in visitors in the Service View's waitlist. An automatic label named "from website" is added to distinguish the visitor from other types of sign-ups.

Visit status page

As soon as a visitor completes the form, they’re taken to the Visit status page.

This page helps them:

  • Review their submitted info (like name, service, phone number, email)

  • Track the status of their visit in real time

Visitors can keep the page open in their browser while they wait.

Visit statuses Explained

The Visit status page displays one of four clear updates:

  1. You are in the waitlist – Visitor has successfully signed in.

  2. It’s your turn – It’s time for service! Depending on your settings, this status can include:

    • Desk number

    • Clerk name

    • Other instructions

  3. Thank you for visiting – The service has been completed.

  4. Your visit is cancelled – The visitor was marked as a no-show or removed from the waitlist.

OPTIONAL: SMS text message notifications

You can send automatic text updates by asking for a phone number during sign-in.

Here’s how it works:

  • After sign-in, visitors get a confirmation SMS.

  • When it’s their turn, they receive a second message with service details.

  • Visitors and clerks can also exchange messages if needed—ideal for remote or flexible setups.
