How to Start with Passeo

Follow these steps to set up your club and run your first session.

Start Simple

You do not need to set up everything perfectly on day one.

Most clubs begin with:

  • One session
  • A few members
  • Simple manual check-ins

Passeo is designed to help clubs gradually move away from paper cards and manual attendance tracking.

Step 1

Create Your Club

Instructions:

  1. Open Passeo
  2. Tap "Create a Club"
  3. Enter your name and club name, then tap Create Club

Important notes:

  • You automatically become the club owner
  • Owners can manage the club and promote hosts later

Recovery Codes:

When a member is added to the club, Passeo generates a recovery code.

Many clubs start by adding members first, sharing recovery codes, and using Web Check-In before asking members to install the app.

Step 3

Sessions are where members check in and attendance is tracked.

Common Questions

Answers to questions club managers often have.

Do all members need the app?

No.

Passeo supports:

  • Host Check-In
  • Web Check-In
  • App Self Check-In

Clubs can use any combination of these methods. Installing the app is optional.

What is a recovery code?

A recovery code uniquely identifies a member. Recovery codes are used for Web Check-In, credit lookup, account recovery, and restoring membership on a new device. Members should keep their recovery code in a safe place.

Can anyone scan the QR code and check in?

No. Members must already belong to the club and have a valid recovery code. The QR code opens the Web Check-In page, and the recovery code identifies the member and authorizes the check-in.

Can members check in at any time?

No. Members can only complete check-in when a session is currently accepting check-ins. If no session is available, attendance cannot be recorded.

Can members check their remaining credits without installing the app?

Yes. Members can enter their recovery code on the Web Check-In page to view their remaining credits.

Do I have to print the QR code?

No. You can print the QR code, display it on a device, or share the Web Check-In link directly with members. All methods work the same way.

Can I share the Web Check-In link in a group chat?

Yes. Many clubs share the link through WhatsApp, GroupMe, Facebook groups, email, or text messages so members can access the Web Check-In page directly.

How do members get a recovery code?

Recovery codes are generated when members are added to the club. Club owners and hosts can view and share recovery codes from the Manage Members screen.

What if a member loses their recovery code?

A club owner or host can retrieve the recovery code from the Manage Members screen and share it with the member again.

What if someone forgets to check in?

Hosts or managers can manually check them in later.

Can I still use paper cards at first?

Yes. Many clubs transition gradually while learning the system.

What if I make a mistake?

Credits and attendance can be adjusted later.

Is Passeo only for large clubs?
