Product Pickup allows you to set limits on the number of items a guest can take from any particular station. Great for gift bags, and drinks!
How Product Pickup Works
Event organizers provide and scan NFC assets for guests upon initial event check-in using Check-In. The NFC asset will be associated with that guest, and contains all registration information provided such as registered sessions and responses to registration questions. Alternatively, include QR codes in guest confirmation emails.
At each station, guests will scan their NFC credential or QR code; guests with remaining items to pick up will see a success message. Guests that have picked up their alloted items will see an error message.

How do I set up for the event
Prior to the event, your team should download EFx onto all iPhones, iPads, and Android devices that will be used as Product Pickup stations. Log into the app, and test scanning an NFC asset or QR code to make sure it's accurately allowing guests to pick up or deny pick up. Share this process with your staff, and make sure they are prepared to handle questions from guests, like what they should do if a guest insists they should be allowed an additional item.
At the event, make it clear where guests should go for Product Pickup.
Open EFx on the device > select the event > Product Pickup > select the appropriate station. Tap the guest's NFC credential, or swipe to scan their QR code.
