What it is

PowerChurch Check In is an add-on for PowerChurch Plus and PowerChurch Online that manages check-in and checkout for child security and event attendance. It automatically records attendance and works with PowerChurch Membership, Activities & Skills, and Events Calendar. For each event, a parent label can include an automatically generated security code; the system tracks who dropped off and picked up a child. Kiosks can be staffed or self-serve, and express checkout can use barcode scanning. Labels can include name badges, bag tags, parent labels, and teacher notes. Supported equipment includes label printers, barcode scanners, webcams, and electronic pagers. Teachers or nursery workers can add incident notes with a time and location for parents to see during checkout. The installed kiosk application runs on Windows and macOS. PowerChurch Online users can also use a browser kiosk, but that option is not available for PowerChurch Plus. Online Check In costs $18 a month or $198 a year. PowerChurch Plus options include one-time upgrades and new-user purchases; a new-user standard download costs $189, paid once, and requires PowerChurch Plus.
