Project Summary
The client’s fulfillment workflow was manual and inefficient, requiring staff to create and track shipments one by one. I developed a custom WooCommerce plugin that fully automated the process pushing orders to Ninja Van’s API and syncing shipment statuses in real-time.
To solve this, I built a custom WooCommerce QR Code & Event Security Validation plugin that fully automates:
- • QR code generation
- • Secure URL hashing
- • Ticket validation workflow
- • Admin-side QR display
- • Unique security guard identity management
- • Automatic order completion after QR creation
The Client
The client operates multiple large events every month, requiring a seamless digital ticketing system with built-in fraud prevention by using QR code and unique staff verification control and report system.
The Challenge
The client’s team was running everything manually. QR codes were created one by one, tickets were checked by hand at the gate, and there was no way to track duplicates or see who validated what. Security guards didn’t have any digital IDs, and many orders stayed stuck as “processing,” causing confusion. This led to slow gates, long lines, and risks of duplicate ticket scans. They needed a simple, automated, and secure ticketing system built directly into WooCommerce.
The Solution
- • Every order item generates a unique MD5-based QR hash.
- • QR images are saved inside a dedicated uploads directory.
- • System prevents duplicate regeneration with a protection flag.
- • Generates clean, scannable 300×300 event QR codes.
- • Admin can instantly view QR codes inside each order item in the WooCommerce dashboard.
- • Ticket details and the generated QR code are embedded directly into customer emails.
- • Short description + QR output appear clearly inside the email layout.
- • Each event guard receives a unique Security ID (minimum 3 digits).
- • Built-in validation prevents duplicate IDs or invalid/short IDs.
- • Security IDs are sortable and manageable inside the WordPress admin area.
- • Error handling and validation use session-based admin notices.
- • Enables organizers to track which guard validated which ticket for security and audit purposes.
The Outcome
A fully automated event ticketing workflow that improved security, eliminated duplicates, and reduced manual workload by more than 80%.
