The bad news is that managing the ticketing system is like learning to fly an airplane.<\/p>\n<p>We have an event coming up for which we activated the &#8220;pay at pickup&#8221; option, which has raised three issues:<br \/>\n1) How can we tell who as paid in advance via PayPal and who selected &#8220;pay at pickup?&#8221; (it appears that we should create two different tickets so that they are identified on the Event\/Attendees screen)<\/p>\n<p>2) What is the process for &#8220;reviewing&#8221; the purchases so that they can be checked in? <\/p>\n<p>3) How do we manage check-in at the event? (Use &#8220;search&#8221; every time someone checks in?)<\/p>\n<p>On the event&#8217;s Attendees screen, all orders, regardless if they were pay-at-pickup or were paid via PayPal, have Status of &#8220;Processing,&#8221; and the &#8220;check in&#8221; button is disabled. Looks like we have to mark the PayPal transactions Complete in Woo Commerce &#8212; is that correct?<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the sort order on this page appears to be random, with no way to change it. This makes check-in process extraordinarily difficult.<\/p>\n<p>The summary on the Event Attendees screen says that all tickets are &#8220;awaiting review&#8221; &#8212; where are we supposed to do this review? In Woo Commerce?<br \/>\nHow are we supposed to collect payment and mark attendance in the system with no sort method? <\/p>\n<p>Is there workflow documentation?<\/p>\n<p>Color me confused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1525192","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Event check-in workflow, with Pay at Event option -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/event-check-in-workflow-with-pay-at-event-option\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Event check-in workflow, with Pay at Event option -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, The good news is that we are finally getting some traction getting people to use the online ticketing for events.
