The BETA app is the complete modern solution to the modern climbing gym, for climbers. Climbers can track their climbs, provide feedback to routesetters and keep their entry passes all in one place!
Through the BETA app, climbers can generate a QR code to check-in via a tablet in kiosk mode or turnstiles using BETA’s API. Climber’s can also conveniently add a QR code into their Apple or Google wallet. To generate a QR code, the climber must have purchased a pass beforehand. Climbers can purchase a pass directly at the desk through the POS, through your online widget displaying passes, or directly through the app.

The BETA app displays two different QR codes:
Attention: The Share Profile QR code can still be used for check in, considering the climber has a valid entry/pass and form linked to their profile.
However, the Check-in QR code cannot be used to search for a climber on the BETA dashboard. Share Profile QR code - used to share your BETA profile with others e.g., reception/desk staff Entry/Check in QR code - used to check a climber in with a pass they’ve purchased
Yes! The QR code is time-sensitive and dynamic.
It expires after a short period or as soon as it’s scanned. This prevents climbers from sharing screenshots or reusing QR codes, ensuring that check-ins are secure and only valid for the individual user.
No — QR codes are intentionally dynamic and cannot be made static. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized access, such as sharing screenshots or checking in unverified climbers without valid waivers or required proficiency. If you are looking for anyone to generate a QR code to check in, ie you
If you have Allow unverified auto check-in disabled - visitors can only generate a QR code with a form and safety proficiency. Please ensure that the visitor has both, a validated form on their profile, and a safety proficiency. Sometimes, the form might require email validation and/or manual validation, depending on your settings for the form.
This could be occurring for a few reasons:
Their profile has an expired form/waiver (They can sign a new form, to advance their status)
Their profile does not have a climbing related proficiency eg belay safety, or lead climbing etc
If your form is set to “require email validation”, then they have not validated their form. You can ask them to validate their form by checking their emails, or you can manually validate their form Validate a visitor’s form
All of the above need to be valid, for a climber to be able to use QR code check-in.
The QR code is valid for one check-in or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.
Additionally, BETA only allows one active session per visitor. If the same profile attempts to check in again while already checked in, an error will be shown.
