Ticketless Children’s Check-In & Parent Verification

Eliminate label printers and paper jams using secure dynamic encrypted pickup codes.

Overview

Net153 eliminates expensive thermal label printers and printer jams. When parents check their children in at church, the system generates a dynamic encrypted pickup code sent to their phone via SMS or WhatsApp.

Key Points:

  • 150 free SMSs included every month on all church accounts
  • Instant security matching on volunteer station screens
  • Zero printer jams, sticky thermal paper, or replacement ink costs

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Open Check-In Station

On an iPad, tablet, or laptop at the kids check-in desk, navigate to Check-In -> Launch Station.

2

Parent Enters Mobile Number

The parent types the last 4 digits of their phone number, selects their children, and selects their respective classes.

3

Dynamic Code Sent to Parent

The system generates an encrypted pickup code (e.g., #NET-482) sent to the parent’s phone via SMS or WhatsApp.

4

Checkout Verification

At checkout, the children’s church leader verifies the matching code on the parent’s phone screen before releasing the child.

Pro Tip

Every church account includes 150 free SMSs every month automatically. If your church needs extra SMSs, top-up bundles can be purchased in the in-app wallet and never expire.
