# QR check-in kiosk for gyms, on any phone or tablet

GymSetora turns any phone or tablet with a camera into a gym check-in kiosk. Members scan the QR pass in their member app, and GymSetora lets them in only if their plan is active and their dues are within your limit. The pass keeps changing, so screenshots are refused, and repeat scans within 60 seconds are ignored.

## How it works

1. **Open the kiosk on a phone or tablet**

   The kiosk runs in the browser. Place any phone or tablet with a camera at your entrance — no scanner to buy.
2. **Members open their pass**

   Members open their digital membership card with the entry QR in the GymSetora member app on their own phone.
3. **Scan to enter, scan again to leave**

   The first scan checks the member in; the second checks them out. GymSetora records the visit time automatically.
4. **GymSetora decides at the door**

   Expired plans, dues above your limit and visits outside opening hours are stopped with a clear message on the kiosk.

## How does GymSetora stop pass sharing?

The QR in the member app keeps changing and only works at your gym, so a screenshot or a pass forwarded to a friend is refused at the kiosk.

If you want to go further, switch on live-pass-only mode: the kiosk then refuses printed or static member codes and accepts only the live pass.

## Who gets stopped at the kiosk?

- Members without an active plan for today.
- Members whose unpaid dues are above the limit you set — they are sent to the desk to settle.
- Self check-ins outside your gym's opening hours.
- Repeat scans within 60 seconds, and a second full visit on the same day.

## How are visits counted?

A member gets one visit a day. The second scan checks them out. If they step out and come back within 30 minutes, the same visit reopens instead of counting a new one. Visits left open for 5 hours are closed automatically, so forgotten check-outs don't spoil your attendance reports.

## Do I need a turnstile?

No. The kiosk works on its own on every plan. If you want a physical gate, GymSetora also connects eSSL, ZKTeco and Hikvision turnstiles and flap barriers on Pro and Enterprise, or on Growth with the turnstile add-on.

## QR check-in: questions owners ask

**What device do I need for the GymSetora check-in kiosk?**

Any phone or tablet with a camera. The kiosk runs in the browser, so there is no scanner or special hardware to buy.

All plans

**Can a member share a screenshot of their pass?**

No. The GymSetora member pass QR keeps changing and only works at your gym, so screenshots and forwarded passes are refused at the kiosk.

All plans

**Can the kiosk stop members who haven't paid?**

Yes. GymSetora only lets a member in when their plan is active for today and their unpaid dues are within the limit you set. Everyone else is sent to the desk.

All plans

**What if members forget to check out?**

GymSetora closes any visit that is still open after 5 hours, so attendance reports stay clean. Members who step out and return within 30 minutes continue the same visit.
