How do I set up my Chainway C90 device to work with the ThunderTix app? - Thu - Apr 17, 2025 - 10:04am

  • About the Chainway C90


    The Chainway C90 is a mobile computer that operates on the Android operating system.   The device itself has a built-in barcode scanner that uses a laser to scan both barcodes and QR codes.  The scanner is able to scan barcodes from both paper tickets, off smartphone screens and directly from Apple and Google Wallet.



    Setting up the Chainway 90 for barcode scanning with the ThunderTix App



    1. On your C90, log into Google with your Gmail account. A Gmail account is necessary to be able to download Apps from the Google Play store.
    2. Go to the Google Play Store and search for “ThunderTix”

    Scanning tickets using the ThunderTix App


    1. From the Scan tab, choose your event
    2. Choose the desired event date
    3. On the C90, you'll point the top of the scanner (where the laser is) towards the barcode or QR code and click either of the yellow buttons on each side of the device. The yellow button is what triggers the laser to read and transmit the barcode to ThunderTix.
    4. As soon as the barcode is scanned, you'll see either the green success screen or the red invalid screen.
