WooCommerce Event QR Code Email Tickets 1.4

This plugin is a game-changer for anyone running events, workshops, or tours using WooCommerce. It bridges the gap between a digital sale and a physical check-in by turning every "Order" into a scannable ticket.

While several plugins share similar names, the WooCommerce Event QR Code Email Tickets functionality essentially transforms your WordPress site into a professional ticketing platform like Eventbrite.

🎟️ Core Functionality
How it works in the real world:

The Purchase: A customer buys a ticket (a WooCommerce product) on your site.

The Email: Once the payment is confirmed, the plugin automatically generates a unique QR Code and attaches it to the customer's order email.

The Event: At the door, the customer shows the email on their phone. You (the organizer) scan it using a smartphone or a dedicated scanner.

The Verification: The system instantly validates the ticket, marks it as "Checked-in" in your database to prevent duplicate entries, and shows the attendee's details.

✨ Key Features
Unique QR Generation: Each ticket gets a one-of-a-kind code that cannot be easily forged.

Automatic Delivery: No manual work. The ticket is sent as soon as the WooCommerce order status changes to "Completed" or "Processing."

Multiple Tickets per Order: If a customer buys 5 tickets, the plugin can generate 5 unique codes for each guest.

PDF Attachment: Most versions allow you to attach the ticket as a PDF, which is easier for customers to save or print.

Customizable Email Templates: You can brand the ticket email with your event logo, date, and location.

🛠️ Setup & Implementation
To get this running effectively, follow these steps:

Product Configuration: In WooCommerce, create your event as a "Virtual" and "Downloadable" product. This ensures no shipping is charged.

QR Settings: In the plugin settings, choose where the QR code should appear (e.g., Before Order Table or Footer).

The Scanner App: Most modern versions don't require a special app. You simply log into your WordPress site on your phone's browser and use the "Scan" interface provided by the plugin.

Testing: Always run a test purchase with a $0.00 "Coupon" to ensure the email arrives and the QR code renders correctly in different email clients (Gmail, Outlook, etc.).

🚀 Pro Tips for Organizers in 2026
Offline Mode: If your event is in a place with poor cell service (like a basement or a park), look for versions of the plugin that allow you to download an Attendee List as a backup.

Check-in Statistics: Use the plugin's dashboard to see real-time data on how many people have arrived vs. how many tickets were sold. This is great for managing venue capacity.

Branding: Don't just send a raw QR code. Use the email template to include a "Thank You" message or a "What to Bring" checklist to improve the attendee experience.

Security: Enable the "Restrict Scanner" setting so that only specific WordPress user roles (like "Editor" or "Event Staff") can validate codes.

⚠️ Common Pitfall: Image Rendering
Some email providers block images by default. To ensure your customers see their QR codes:

Ensure your site has an SSL Certificate (HTTPS).

Use a reliable SMTP plugin (like WP Mail SMTP) to ensure your emails don't end up in the spam folder, which often breaks image links.
