Multi-Scan Ticket

Multi-Scan Ticket: One QR Code, Multiple Redemptions

A multi-scan ticket is a single ticket or QR code that can be validated more than once, with each scan recorded against a defined allowance. Rather than expiring at first entry, the code carries a balance of remaining uses, which lets one credential cover several people, several activities, or several visits.

Operators use multi-scan tickets when the purchase and the redemption do not match one to one. A family buying four zipline runs on one order, a group leader checking in twelve guests, or a pass holder returning across a season all describe the same underlying need.

A multi-scan ticket typically supports:

  • A defined use allowance per ticket, by count or by date range

  • Per-scan logging, so staff can see what has been redeemed and what remains

  • Redemption against specific activities or products rather than general entry

  • Partial redemption, where a group enters in more than one arrival

  • Reporting on unredeemed balance for revenue recognition

Because each scan is recorded individually, a multi-scan ticket produces an audit trail that a single-use ticket cannot. That record matters for reconciling group sales, tracking breakage on unused allowances, and resolving guest disputes about what was already used.
