# Check a guest in to a session booking

`POST /shop/session-bookings/{bookingId}/check-in`

Marks a `SessionBooking` as checked in. Used by front-of-house
staff and self-service kiosks at the start of a session to record
arrival. Setting `is_checked_in` to `false` reverses an earlier
check-in.

The request body is optional — calling the endpoint with no body
is equivalent to passing `{ "is_checked_in": true }`.

## Request body

- object
  - `is_checked_in` boolean — Set to `false` to clear an existing check-in. Defaults to `true` when omitted, marking the booking as checked in.

## Response `200`

A single `SessionBooking`.
