Is the Check In system available for PowerChurch Online users?
Yes. PowerChurch Check In is available for PowerChurch Online users and includes the ability to access a Web Kiosk via web browser. Monthly and Yearly pricing is available, just as is for PowerChurch Online.Are there additional fees to set up new Check In stations in the future?
No. PowerChurch Software products are licensed to the church or the organization. You can set up as many Check In stations as you need at no additional cost. This also applies to PowerChurch Online Check In users. The number of Check In stations you have in use is not limited by the number of concurrent user licenses your organization has available.Do I need network access to use the Check In system?
Yes and no. For the local PowerChurch Plus, if you want to have multiple Check In kiosks up and running, each will need to have network access to be able to connect to the server/host computer. It is possible, without network access, to have a single computer host PowerChurch Plus, the Check In server, and act as a Check In kiosk. This is not an ideal setup, however, if you expect to be checking very many people in or out at a time.PowerChurch Online Check In stations will need access to the internet to be able to connect to the PowerChurch Online servers.
Do I need an actual file server to use the Check In system?
No. The Check In system will run on a simple Windows peer-to-peer network.Is the Web Kiosk available for PowerChurch Plus?
No. The Web Kiosk is only available for PowerChurch Online users.Can I use my MacBook as a Check In Kiosk?
Yes. The installed Kiosk app is available for Windows and macOS for both PowerChurch Plus and PowerChurch Online users.How does it all work?
For PowerChurch Plus: The server or host computer where PowerChurch Plus is installed runs the Check In Server software. This is installed as a Windows service, which starts automatically when you turn on the computer. Check In stations will run the installed Windows or macOS Check In Kiosk software.For PowerChurch Online: The Check In stations are contacting the PowerChurch Online servers directly, either in the installed kiosk app (Windows or macOS) or via web browser.
The information all resides in PowerChurch Plus' data files. The server simply collects the data and pictures and delivers it to the Check In stations when requested.
