How To Create a Pass QR Code

A Pass QR code allows you to create digital tickets, store cards, event passes, or coupons that users can easily access and check into. This guide will show you how to generate a Pass QR code step-by-step, including check-in passwords and custom fields.

Step 1: Select "Pass" QR Type

  1. Log in to your QRTRAC dashboard.
  2. Click Create QR Code.
  3. From the available QR types, select the Pass option.

Step 2: Enter Pass Details

Fill in the fundamental information for your digital pass. This will be the main information your users see when they open the pass.

  • Event Name: (e.g. Music Concert 2025)
  • Date & Time: Provide the exact date and time.
  • Venue: Enter the location details.

Step 3: Configure Check-in Settings

Pass QR codes include a secure check-in system so you can verify and mark passes as "used".

  • Check-in Password: Enter the password that your staff will need to input to verify the pass.
  • Auto Check-in: When enabled, simply entering the password marks the pass as checked in immediately (perfect for one-time use tickets).

Step 4: Add Additional Pass Details

If you need to show extra information (like seat numbers, zones, or gate assignments) after a successful check-in, you can add them here using key-value fields.

  • Label: e.g., Seat
  • Value: e.g., A12

You can click + Add Field for as many rows as you need.

Step 5: Domain & Advanced Settings

Customize the short URL that hosts your pass and configure advanced behavior if necessary.

  • Custom Short URL: Select your preferred domain and toggle the custom URL option.
  • Advanced Settings: Here you can enable options like GPS Tracking, Schedule Campaign (so the pass only works during specific dates), or set a Scan Limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I update pass details after printing the QR code?

Yes. Because these are Dynamic QR codes, you can modify the event details, venue, or check-in password at any time from your dashboard.

How does the check-in system work?

When the user's Pass QR code is scanned, the scanner will see a prompt requesting the Check-in Password. Once your staff enters the correct password, the full details (like Seat or Gate number) are revealed and the pass can be marked as used.
