SwapAccess is Swapcard’s access control and badge scanning system. It enables organizers to manage attendee access across entry points, sessions, and restricted zones.
Event staff scan attendee QR codes using the SwapAccess app. Each scan verifies access rights instantly, based on session registration, ticket type, or group permissions.
You can configure access by ticket, attendee group, session, location, time slot, and more. For example, allow only VIPs into a lounge or only paid attendees into a workshop.
You can create and assign an unlimited number of checkpoints throughout your venue. Each checkpoint can have its own rules and scan logic.
SwapAccess works in offline mode. Scans are stored locally and synced automatically once the device is reconnected to the internet.
SwapAccess provides real-time dashboards and downloadable reports. You’ll see scan timestamps, reasons for success or failure, and overall attendance metrics.
You can mark sessions as private or restricted, allowing access only to those who have registered or been approved.
You can use the SwapAccess mobile app on iOS. Dedicated scanning hardware is also supported for high-traffic events.
It integrates fully with your attendee profiles, registration data, and session schedule, making it easy to manage access rules from a single dashboard.
Swapcard can provide on-site staff, equipment, and support depending on your event’s needs.
