Selling tickets at the door with POS
Take walk-up sales on-site with a paired device — orders and attendees sync with the rest of your event.
Once your devices are paired, POS lets your team sell tickets to walk-up customers. Those sales behave just like online orders behind the scenes.
- 1
Choose event & tickets
Select the event and the ticket type(s) the customer wants.
- 2
Confirm quantity
Set how many.
- 3
Take payment
Process the payment on the device.
- 4
Issue the ticket
The customer gets their ticket; the order is recorded immediately.
Good to know
POS orders are first-class orders — they appear in Orders, show up in Attendees, and are included in analytics. No separate reconciliation.
Tips for a smooth box office
- Pre-select the event on each device so staff aren’t hunting mid-queue.
- Keep ticket types simple for the door — a couple of clear options move the line faster.
- Test payment before opening.
- Assign roles — some selling, some scanning — so entry doesn’t bottleneck.
