# Enable Check-In Sound Alerts

Overview

You can enable sound alerts for **Check-In** to provide audio feedback when members check in. This helps front desk teams respond quickly to successful check-ins or issues without relying only on visual indicators. It’s especially useful in busy environments where staff may miss on-screen cues.

The Check-In sounds are available for both:

- Check-In Widget
- Check-In barcode URL

2\. When a member checks in, you’ll hear a sound based on the result:

- **Green check-in**: successful check in
- **Orange check-in**: successful check in with client payment alerts (for example outstanding payments)
- **Red check-in**: denied access (for example the client does not have valid package or membership)

3\. If another check-in happens before the first sound finishes, the new sound will play immediately.

Expected Outcome

When sound alerts are enabled, your front desk team will hear clear audio cues for every member check-in. This improves responsiveness and ensures smoother member service during peak times.

FAQ

**Q: What happens if multiple check-ins happen quickly?**  
A: The system stops the current sound and plays the new one immediately, so you always hear the latest result.

**Q: Do sound alerts work if the Check-In window is minimized?**  
A: Yes, as long as the Check-In module is running, sounds will play even in the background.

**Q: Can I turn this on for one location but not another?**  
A: Yes. The setting is location-specific, so multi-location businesses can choose where to enable sound alerts.

**Q: What do the different check-in sounds mean?**  
**A: Green:** Successful check-in / **Orange:** Successful check-in with a payment alert (e.g. outstanding balance) / **Red:** Access denied (e.g. no valid membership or package)
