# An all-in-one platform for family centres

> OpenCommunity is purpose-built for family resource centres: kiosk sign-ins, memberships, payments, donations, and funder-ready reporting in one system.

A parent arrives holding a child who is ready to be somewhere else, with more families waiting behind them and the program about to start. That is the moment most centres still ask someone to fill out a form.

When sign-in sheets, membership lists, payments, and month-end reporting each live in a separate tool, staff spend their time stitching it all together by hand instead of being present for the people in the room.

## Let parents pre-book single drop-ins, or register for a series of sessions in advance

Let people register online for a single drop-in session or a full program, and pay online or when they arrive.

- Register and pay for a full program series, or per session
- Attendance and payments recorded either way, ready for reporting
- Works for class registration, workshops, and drop-in programs

## Easy attendance recordkeeping

Let your visitors sign in easily - with member information kept automatically up to date and with full visitor history - no more digging through the data!

- Easy kiosk sign-in flow
- Automatic visit & payment recording
- Profile records update automatically

## Fill programs without overfilling the room

Show how many spaces are left in each session and program series, and set a booking limit so registrations stay within the space you actually have.

- Set capacity for a whole program or a single session
- See remaining spaces in your booking calendar as registrations come in
- Keep class registration within the space you actually have

## Stop chasing payments & parsing information

A point of sale (POS) for your front desk: take program fees, memberships and dues by tap or card, then keep every balance and payment history in one place.

- Point of sale (POS) at the desk and kiosk
- Tap, debit and credit on a card reader
- See every balance and member's payment history

## Sell merchandise together with drop-in fees

Whether you sell in person and only process card payments, or if you run a Shopify online store: OpenCommunity gives you a shop feature that records orders and payments right alongside everything else.

- Sell T-shirts, tote bags, and other fundraising items
- Take payment online or at the front desk
- See what sold and what people are still waiting to pick up

## Accept donations and issue tax receipts

Capture donations together with your member records, and issue tax receipts automatically - no need for spreadsheet scrambling on who donated what and when in filing season!

- Record donations neatly within member records
- Issue tax receipts automatically
- See each donor's full giving history
