Pre-Registration allows your attendees to complete selected parts of the photo booth experience before they reach the booth — using a QR code or a direct link. This reduces wait times, speeds up throughput, and creates a smoother on-site experience.
Pre-registration doesn't replace the booth experience — it prepares it. Attendees still begin their journey at the booth, where their pre-registered data is retrieved and the experience resumes from the next required step.
⭐ Premium Feature: Pre-Registration is a Premium feature. Enabling it will automatically upgrade your event to Premium. A valid Premium license is required to launch the event.
Step 1: Enable Pre-Registration
Open your event.
Go to the Outputs settings.
Toggle on Pre-Registration / QR Code Scanner.
Once enabled:
Pre-registration becomes active for the event
A new QR Code Scanner stage becomes available in the workflow
The event is automatically upgraded to Premium
Step 2: Add the QR Code Scanner Stage
In the workflow, click the + (Add Stage) button.
Select QR Code Scanner from the stage list.
Add it to your flow — typically as the first stage.
This stage acts as the entry point for pre-registered attendees at the booth.
Step 3: Configure the QR Code Scanner Stage
Once added, click on the QR Code Scanner stage to configure it. The available fields are:
Pre-registration Link — an automatically generated URL for the pre-registration flow. Copy and share this externally (email, signage, etc.).
QR Code — generated from the link. Download it for print or digital use.
Title — the main heading displayed on the booth screen.
Subtitle — instructional text (e.g. "Scan your QR code or enter your code below").
Body (HTML) — optional custom instructions or messaging.

Allow Skip Setting
The Allow Skip option controls whether pre-registration is optional or required at the booth:
Allow Skip ON — attendees can bypass the QR/code entry and complete the full experience at the booth. Pre-registration is optional.
Allow Skip OFF — attendees must pre-register before accessing the booth. Entry is only possible via QR code scan or manual code entry.
Step 4: Choose Which Stages Are Completed During Pre-Registration
Each stage in your workflow has a Pre-registration checkbox. Use this to define which steps attendees complete in advance and which remain at the booth.
✔ Checked — stage is completed during pre-registration and skipped at the booth.
✗ Unchecked — stage is completed at the booth as normal.
Example configuration:
Stage | Pre-Registration? |
Media Screen | ✔ Yes |
Survey | ✗ No |
Choose Experience | ✔ Yes |
Text Screen | ✗ No |
In this example, attendees complete Media Screen and Choose Experience before arriving. At the booth, those steps are skipped and the experience resumes with the Survey.
How It Works at the Booth
When an attendee arrives, the experience starts at the QR Code Scanner stage. They can either:
Scan their QR code, or
Enter their manual code (fallback option if the QR code is unavailable)
The system then loads their pre-registration data, skips already-completed stages, and continues from the next required step.
If Allow Skip is ON, attendees can bypass this step and complete the full experience at the booth instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if an attendee doesn't pre-register?
If Allow Skip is ON, they can proceed and complete the full experience at the booth. If Allow Skip is OFF, they must pre-register — access is only possible via QR code or manual code.
Can attendees complete the entire experience through pre-registration?
No. Pre-registration only covers the stages you've selected. The experience must still be completed at the booth.
What if an attendee loses their QR code?
They can use their manual code as a fallback. Both are generated when pre-registration is completed.
Can I control which steps are part of pre-registration?
Yes — each stage has a Pre-registration checkbox. Only the stages you check will be completed in advance.
What happens if a user scans a QR code but no stages were configured for pre-registration?
The attendee can still enter the experience, but no steps will be skipped — the full experience will run at the booth.
Is a Premium license required?
Yes. Pre-registration is a Premium feature and a valid Premium license is required to launch the event.
Best Practices
Use Pre-Registration for high-traffic events — it's most effective when queues are expected. Move slower steps (input fields, selections) out of the booth.
Keep pre-registration focused — avoid selecting too many stages. Focus on the steps that take the most time.
Share the QR code in advance — display it on signage, screens, or in confirmation emails so attendees can complete pre-registration while waiting in line.
Match Allow Skip to your event type — enable it for open/public events; disable it for controlled or mandatory registration flows.
Test the full flow before launch — verify QR scanning works, manual code entry works, the correct stages are skipped, and the experience resumes at the right step.
