Badgy

What Badgy is

Badgy is a web app for event check-in, on-site badge printing, and vendor lead capture. Staff can scan ticket QR codes or find attendees by name, with check-in changes syncing across devices in real time. Organizers can edit badge content, fonts, and layouts, then assign designs to ticket types. Listed ticketing integrations are Tito, Luma, Eventbrite, and Ticket Tailor; attendee lists can also come from a CSV or spreadsheet. Vendors can scan badges to collect contact information, download leads, or send them to a CRM through Zapier. Badgy can send customizable attendee emails the day before an event, including a QR code and branded wallet pass. Once event details have synced to a device, they remain available offline, and check-in updates sync when that device reconnects. Printing requires a laptop running Google Chrome and a supported Zebra label printer connected over USB. Built-in label choices include common 3-inch and 4-inch sizes, and organizers can enter custom measurements. The Free plan costs nothing and covers all events, unlimited check-in devices, real-time sync, and offline support. Premium uses event credits, with the amount to add not shown; its listed features include badge printing, multiple print stations, one-off badges, vendor lead capture, self check-in, VIP notifications, wallet passes, and welcome emails. Badgy’s site credits 8bytes, which identifies itself as a small product team based in Ireland.
