Event credentialing

Event credentialing software

Credentialing is the pass layer of accreditation: who gets which credential, how it looks, where it can go, and how it is checked on site. AccredTix covers pass types, allocations, design, QR, wallet pickup passes, zones and desk search.

+ Who this is for

Who runs event credentialing with AccredTix

Accreditation managers who own the pass

You care about pass types, print quality, zone rules and a desk that can find a serial when someone turns up without a lanyard.

Security and access teams

You need the credential to mean something at a checkpoint, with a QR or serial that points at a live record, not a screenshot.

Agencies producing branded credentials

The pass designer handles badges, CR80, fanfolds and double-sided print. Wallet branding on Pro is for the pickup pass, not a replacement for print.

Events that already have scanning hardware

AccredTix is the credential and desk layer. ScanVerse covers handheld RFID/NFC if you want it. Other access systems can integrate instead.

+ What you can run

The pass layer: types, design, QR and the desk

Credentialing is the object in someone's hand and the record behind it. Pass types, print, QR and desk search have to agree, or the window becomes a debate.

  • 01

    Pass types and allocations

    Define the credentials your event issues, allocate them to teams, and keep counts visible before show day.

  • 02

    Pass designer and print

    Design printable badges and vehicle passes in product. Issue what your accreditation desk actually needs to hand out.

  • 03

    QR codes and wallet pickup

    Credentials carry QR codes. Standard Apple and Google Wallet passes on Free help people collect at the desk. Pro adds custom wallet branding when you want your logo and colours on that pickup pass.

  • 04

    Zones on Pro

    Attach zone entitlements to passes when backstage, production and public areas need different access stories.

  • 05

    Desk check-in search

    Find people by name, email, team or serial at the accreditation desk without digging through spreadsheets.

  • 06

    Connected to the rest of BOH

    The same people behind a credential can complete inductions, hold vehicle passes, and redeem meal allocations.

+ How it works

How credentials get from a pass type to a person

A short path your team can actually follow, without inventing a second process around the software.

  1. 01

    Define credentials

    Create pass types for the event and decide which teams can request or hold them.

  2. 02

    Collect and approve

    Teams submit people through the portal or your staff enter them directly. Approvals decide who actually gets a credential.

  3. 03

    Design and issue

    Use the pass designer for print, or issue standard wallet pickup passes, then get people to the collection point before site open. Pro adds custom wallet branding.

  4. 04

    Check on site

    Search at the desk, scan QR where your workflow needs it, and keep the audit trail with the person record.

+ In practice

A credential is only useful if the desk can find it

Pretty badges that live in a design file still leave the window with a clipboard. Credentialing on AccredTix starts with pass types and allocations, then design, then issue, then search. The person, the pass type and the serial stay together.

When someone arrives without the lanyard they were emailed, staff search the record and reprint or point them to collection. The debate is not "which spreadsheet were you on".

Print is the credential. Wallet helps them collect it.

The pass designer is for the thing you hand over: badges, CR80 cards, fanfolds, double-sided print, vehicle passes. That is what stewards see on site.

Apple and Google Wallet passes help people find the collection point and pick up that credential. Free includes the standard pickup pass. Pro adds custom wallet branding. Stewards still check the printed badge, not a phone screen.

Zones without turning the product into a turnstile

Zones on Pro attach entitlements to pass types when backstage and arena floor should not be the same story. That is still a credential rule, not a physical access-control product.

If you need hardware, ScanVerse handheld RFID/NFC syncs out of the box. If you already run another scanning system, AccredTix can integrate with that instead.
