The app and your website are one ecosystem. Any change made in the app, whether it's editing an event title, pausing ticket sales, or checking in a guest, reflects on your WordPress site.
Is the MEC Events App free?
Yes, the mobile application itself is completely free to download for both iOS and Android. However, to connect it to your website, you must install the free MEC Utility plugin on your WordPress site.
Do I need MEC Pro to use the app?
No! The app works perfectly with both MEC Lite (Free) and MEC Pro. You can create and manage events with either version.
How do I connect the app to my WordPress website?
It’s simple. Install the MEC Utility addon on your website. Navigate to the utility menu to generate a QR code. Open the app on your phone, scan the QR code, and you’re instantly connected!
Can I scan tickets with the app?
Yes, but this specific feature requires the Ticket & Invoice Addon (available in the Ultimate Bundle or separately). Once active, you can use the app to scan attendee QR codes and update their check-in status in real-time.
Can I restrict what my staff can do in the app?
Absolutely. Using the MEC Utility dashboard on your website, you can create different API keys with specific permissions (e.g., "Check-in Only"). This allows you to let temporary staff scan tickets without giving them access to edit your events or settings.
