In their own words
Connection Card Pro Check-Ins
Connection Card Pro Check-Ins helps churches record attendance for children, students, and adults at services, classes, small groups, and events. Staff can check people in using a computer, tablet, or mobile app, or set up kiosks where people identify themselves with a plastic card, phone number, or photo. Attendance is recorded automatically. The system prints customizable name tags and optional parent pickup tags on supported Dymo and Brother printers, and produces reports for organizations, groups, services, events, or classifications. It provides a web interface for desktop, laptop, or tablet and apps for iOS and Android. Connections to Mailchimp support contact exports, while Slack can receive crew notifications and channel updates. The maker describes SSL encryption for data transfers, PCI DSS guideline compliance, backups across multiple secure data centers, and configurable roles covering more than 30 permission types. The free Ministry Lite plan is free and includes 250 contacts, three admin users, and 1 GB storage. Paid plans start at $29 a month; any plan can be tried free for 30 days without a credit card.
