Can I scan event tickets with Shopify POS?

Yes. Easy Tickets & Events has a Shopify POS check-in tile, so staff scan the QR code on each ticket from the POS app at the door.

Can I sell tickets at the door?

Yes. You can sell tickets in person through Shopify POS, and those sales draw from the same event capacity as your online sales.

Do online and in-person tickets share capacity?

Yes. Both online orders and POS sales come from the same event, so the remaining capacity and the attendee list stay in one place.

Do I need extra scanning hardware?

No. You scan from the Shopify POS check-in tile or the web check-in page using the device camera, so there is no separate scanner to buy.

What if there is no internet at the venue?

The web check-in page works offline and syncs when it reconnects, so you can keep scanning even with a weak signal at the door.

How to sell and scan event tickets with Shopify POS

Short answer

Yes. Easy Tickets & Events includes a Shopify POS check-in extension, so you can sell tickets in person and scan attendees in at the door from the POS app. Online and in-person tickets share the same event, so your capacity and attendee list stay in one place.

How it works

Set up the event

Create the event and ticket types in the app. The same event backs both your online sales and anything you sell in person.

Sell online and at the register

Customers buy online through your storefront, and staff can sell tickets in person through Shopify POS. Both draw from the same capacity.

Scan at the door

At the event, scan the QR ticket from the Shopify POS check-in tile, or from the web check-in page if you are not on a POS device.

Watch check-ins in real time

Each ticket is single-use once scanned, and you see arrivals update live, so the door and the back office stay in sync.

What you get

A Shopify POS check-in tile for scanning at the door
Sell tickets in person at the register
Shared capacity and attendee list across online and in-person sales
A web check-in page that works offline as a fallback
Single-use tickets, with check-ins visible in real time

One event, online and in person

Selling some tickets online and some at the door usually means two systems that do not agree on how many seats are left. Because Easy Tickets & Events runs on Shopify, an in-person POS sale and an online order draw from the same event and the same capacity.

That means the attendee list is one list, whether the ticket was bought a week ahead online or two minutes ago at the register.

At the door

Staff scan the QR code from the Shopify POS check-in tile, so you do not need a separate scanning app or hardware. If a device is not on POS, the web check-in page uses the phone camera and works offline, then syncs when it reconnects.
