Fingerprint Check-In

Stop Shared Codes with Fingerprints

Members type their code, then touch a USB scanner to prove it's really them. No one can check in on someone else's code.

What you need

  • Fingerprint check-in turned on for your plan (contact Strakly to add it)
  • A Windows 10 or 11 PC at the front desk
  • The free Strakly app for Windows (fingerprints don't work in a web browser or phone)
  • A Mantra MFS100 or MFS110 USB scanner with its client service (about ₹2,000-₹3,000)
01

Install the Scanner

Install Mantra's driver and MFS100 client service, restart the PC, and plug in the scanner. Its light comes on when it's ready.

02

Open the Strakly Windows App

Download it from strakly.com/download and sign in with your normal account. There's nothing else to configure.

03

Register a Member's Finger

Open the member's profile, click Register in the Fingerprint section, and tick the consent box. The member places the same finger on the scanner 3 times, then click Save.

04

Check In Every Day

The member types their code as usual, then puts their finger on the scanner. If it matches, they're checked in. Members without a fingerprint just use their code.

05

Make It Required (Optional)

Turn on Require Fingerprint in Settings > General so registered members can't check in with their code alone.

Good to know

  • Register a second finger as a backup in case of a cut or bandage.
  • Scan not working? Wipe the finger and the scanner glass, and press firmly.
  • If a finger doesn't match after 3 tries, staff can use Staff override. It's saved as a manual check-in.
  • Only an encrypted fingerprint template is stored, never a picture. It's deleted when the member leaves your gym.
