At some events, organizers and exhibitors distribute paper or digital invitations containing an invitation code that provides free access to the event. When these invitations are scanned directly at the entrance, visitors may remain anonymous: the organizer knows that an invitation has been used but does not necessarily have information about the person who used it. To address this need, inwink provides an **invitation code registration module**, accessible from onsite kiosks. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-14-39-2889-PM.png?width=1904&height=858&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-14-39-2889-PM.png) This module allows visitors with an **invitation code granting free admission (100% discount)** to register independently, without going through a standard ticket purchasing process. The objective is twofold: - **Facilitate access to the event** while continuing to use paper or digital invitations. - **Identify visitors attending the event** by linking each redeemed invitation to a named registration. --- ### **1. How does registration at an onsite kiosk work?** The process consists of three simple steps. #### **Step 1: Scan or enter an invitation code** Upon arrival at the event, visitors go to an onsite registration kiosk with their paper or digital invitation. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-15-33-6441-PM.png?width=1175&height=582&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-15-33-6441-PM.png) They have two options: - **Scan the QR code** displayed on their paper or digital invitation. - **Manually enter their invitation code** in the dedicated field. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-31-40-6405-PM.png?width=578&height=350&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-31-40-6405-PM.png) The code gives access to the registration process associated with the invitation. If the invitation code is invalid (for example, if it has already been used), an error message appears directly on the screen in a red banner, preventing the visitor from proceeding to the next step. #### **Step 2: Complete the registration form** Once the invitation code has been entered, the visitor accesses a **simplified registration form** designed specifically for this process. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-31-59-8135-PM.png?width=446&height=560&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-31-59-8135-PM.png) Visitors only need to provide the requested information, such as: - First name - Last name - Email address - Acceptance of the event's access terms and privacy policy. Since the invitation code provides a 100% discount, **no payment is required**. This step links the redeemed invitation to an identified visitor. #### **Step 3: Get an entry ticket** Once registration is complete, the visitor immediately receives a **valid entry ticket** linked to their identity and containing a QR code. The ticket can then be used to access the event. If the onsite setup includes a printer, visitors can also collect their printed badge. --- ### **2. How can organizers set up this registration process?** To enable self-service registration, several elements must be prepared in advance. #### **Set up the appropriate invitation codes** Distributed invitations must contain a code granting free admission, with a 100% discount. This process is intended for visitors who already have a free invitation. It does not allow visitors to purchase tickets or make payments directly at the kiosk. #### **Prepare the registration form** The **Registration with Discount Code** module is available in the **Onsite** section of the inwink back office. A registration form must be configured to collect the information required to identify each visitor. The goal is to limit the number of required fields to make registration as quick and seamless as possible. To configure the form, go to your event's back office \> **Onsite \> Configuration**, then edit the **Registration with Discount Code** card. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-17-00-8987-PM.png?width=1532&height=842&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-17-00-8987-PM.png) ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-17-19-4968-PM.png?width=1199&height=382&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-17-19-4968-PM.png) As with any standard inwink form, you can add fields and pages to customize the registration process. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-17-43-6808-PM.png?width=1476&height=455&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-17-43-6808-PM.png) You can also configure default values for certain fields in the form. The options available in this card allow you to customize the visitor registration process at the kiosk. Enable or disable each option using the **ON/OFF toggle**, depending on your preferred setup: - **QR Code Scanning:** Allows visitors to scan the QR code on their invitation to access the registration process. - **Manual Code Entry:** Allows visitors to manually enter their invitation code at the kiosk. This is particularly useful if the QR code is damaged or if the kiosk does not have a scanner. - **Start Printing Automatically:** Automatically triggers badge printing once the registration is complete. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-26-07-2454-PM.png?width=482&height=288&name=image-png-Oct-09-2026-01-26-07-2454-PM.png) --- ### **3. What are the benefits for organizers?** This solution combines **invitation distribution, self-service registration, and visitor data collection**. - **Keep using paper invitations:** Exhibitors can continue distributing invitations using their usual methods. - **Identify visitors who attend the event:** Each redeemed invitation allows organizers to collect the visitor's information. - **Streamline onsite check-in:** Visitors can register independently at a kiosk, without requiring assistance from event staff at every step. - **Simplify the registration process:** Invited visitors benefit from quick registration without any payment step. Organizers can therefore gain better visibility into who has redeemed an invitation while maintaining an event access process suited to their needs. **Key takeaway:** The invitation code registration module allows organizers to convert a free paper or digital invitation into a named entry ticket through a self-service registration process at an onsite kiosk.   -
