FAQ

What if we mostly sell merchandise at the front desk?
You can always sell merchandise at the front desk and take payments by OpenCommunity's system to your payment processing provider (e.g. Square). All payments are recorded alongside member or program fees, so all visitor data lives in the same place.
Can we sell items by donation and issue tax receipts?
Yes, a product can be sold by donation, such as a tote bag given for a gift, and the basket shows the part that is eligible for a receipt before anyone pays. Buyers are asked if they'd like the receipt so it can be issued on the spot (or later on request).
Can people buy from our shop online?
Yes, the same products can be sold at the front desk, on the kiosk, in the member portal and in your online store, and you can embed the shop on your own website with a snippet. Orders placed online wait at the till until they are collected, and stock counts update everywhere.
