Overview
Box Office Pro is the mobile ticket-selling app for on-site and walk-up sales. Staff browse events, select tickets, process payments, and issue orders — all from a handheld Android device. It brings the same capabilities as the web-based box office mode to a portable form factor.Getting Started
Signing In
Open the app and sign in with the same email and password you use for the admin dashboard. Tap Log in to authenticate.If you forget your password, tap Forgot password? to request a reset email. Enter your admin email address and tap Reset password — you’ll receive an email with a reset link. If the email isn’t recognised, the app displays: “There is no matching email in our system.”
Version Checks
Each time the app opens, it checks whether the installed version is still supported:- Optional update available — a message prompts you to update, but you can dismiss it and continue using the app.
- Required update — the app cannot be used until you update to the latest version.
- App retired — the app is permanently blocked and displays “App can no longer be used.”
Browsing Events
After signing in, the event listing screen shows all on-sale events. Each event card displays the event name, venue, dates, and a thumbnail image.Searching and Filtering
A search bar at the top filters events by name, venue name, address, city, or postcode. Three filter options narrow the list further:| Filter | How it works |
|---|---|
| Venue | Opens a list of all venues with event counts. Select one or more venues to filter by location. |
| Date | Opens a date picker. Shows only events that overlap with the selected date — multi-day events appear if any part falls on that date. |
| Clear all | Resets all active filters. |
Selecting a Currency
If your company operates in multiple currencies, a currency selector appears on the event listing screen. Tap it to choose from the available currencies — ticket prices and basket totals update accordingly. The selector is hidden when only one currency is available.Some tickets may not have pricing in every currency. When a ticket doesn’t support your selected currency, its quantity controls are hidden and it cannot be added to the basket.
The Menu
The top menu provides access to:- Orders — view order history, details, and process refunds
- Settings — configure payment methods, hardware, and app preferences
- Log out — sign out of the app (confirms with “Are you sure you want to log out?”)

| Event selection | Company name |
| Ticket selection | Event name and selected items |
| Basket | Event name, basket items, and total price |
