Step 3 - Connect Your USB Scanner
Plug in the scanner: Connect the USB scanner to any available USB port on your desktop device. Your operating system will recognize it automatically within seconds.
Open the FT Staff App: Launch the app on your desktop and sign in with your ForeTees staff credentials, if you have not done so already.
Navigate to Location Check-In: From the main menu, select the Location Check-In feature.
Haven’t used Location Check-In before? Learn how to setup a new location.
Test the scanner: Hold up a QR code (from the ForeTees Club App). The check-in should register instantly, prompting you to add other members and guests.
Enable Rapid Check-In (recommended): You will then be able to scan multiple member's QR codes for a seamless check-in process.
Pro Tip: Keep the Location Check-In screen open and visible at your front desk, fitness center, or pool gate. Using a wired scanner allows your staff to focus on the member, not the screen, elevating your club's level of service from the moment they walk in.
