Offline Mode in Guestii

How does Offline Mode work?
Guestii’s scanner app is designed to work seamlessly, even with no internet connection. Whether you have full signal, patchy Wi-Fi, or no reception at all, you’ll still be able to check in guests without interruption.


What happens when Offline Mode is active?

When a device has weak or no internet:

  • All event data is stored locally on the scanner device

  • You can scan dynamic QR codes as normal

  • You can also manually tick in static Guestii’s

  • The app retains full scanning functionality, ensuring door staff are never held up by bad signal


What syncs when you're back online?

As soon as the device reconnects:

  • All check-in data, scan timestamps, and manual entries automatically sync to the organiser’s dashboard

  • No duplicates or conflicts — everything stays accurate


Do I need to enable Offline Mode manually?

No. Guestii handles this in the background. If your connection drops, the app automatically switches to offline behaviour — no action needed from the scanner.


Best practices:

  • Open the Guestii app and load your event before going offline

  • Keep the app open to avoid refreshing data mid-event

  • Use newer devices where possible for better performance and local caching
