– Display event name in the Checkinera app

When checking in attendees at the entrance, it’s sometimes useful to display event name in Checkinera app—especially if you're scanning tickets for multiple events using a single API key. Although adding the event name to the ticket template is usually the simplest approach, some organizers prefer to have this information visible right inside the app for quick reference.

This small add-on adds exactly that: it displays the event name along with the other attendee and ticket details in the Checkinera app. This helps your staff immediately confirm which event a ticket belongs to, reduces confusion when scanning for multiple events, and provides a clearer overview of the attendee's information.

To enable this, download, install, and activate the add-on below:

The add-on installs like any other WordPress plugin. It has no settings and works automatically as soon as it’s activated.

This solution works particularly well when paired with the Redirect to the attendee info screen after check-in add-on. With both add-ons active, the Checkinera app automatically redirects to the attendee info screen after each successful scan and displays the event name there. The result is a smooth, contextual workflow where your staff can immediately see all essential details—including the event name—before the next attendee steps forward.
