Other Features of ChMeetings CHMS
Frequently asked questions
If you have any questions we are here to help!
Does it cost extra to manage events in ChMeetings?
No. The Events feature is available with all ChMeetings plans. There are; however, some features that require you to at least be subscribed to our Small plan. These features are: guest registration, volunteer scheduling, and service planning.
Do we need special equipment to organize events and check-in?
Generally, no. All you need is a computer, tablet or smartphone to access the Events feature, and to get everything organized. The same goes for check-in, where you have several options available:
- You can print and display the event’s QR code and have attendants check-in on their own by scanning the code with their mobile devices;
- Someone can greet attendants and use a computer or mobile device to check attendants in through a dedicated check-in screen;
- You can set up any touchscreen device as a check-in kiosk where attendants can easily look themselves up and check-in as they arrive.
- Attendants can present their individual QR codes, which they can find in their profiles, and you can scan them using the ChMeetings app using the camera on any mobile device. You do have the option to use a dedicated QR code scanner if you prefer.
For child check-in with tag printing, you will need a dedicated tag printer. Here is our list of supported printers.
Can we organize events if we sign up to a free account?
Yes. You can organize unlimited, non-ticketed events and manage check-in on the check-in screen or using QR codes. You will need to sign up to a paid account if you need features such as assigning an event manager, requiring attendant registration, creating paid events, planning the event, or scheduling volunteers.
How many events can we organize? Are there any limitations?
There is no limit to how many events you can organize. The features don’t have any limitations either. The only thing to keep in mind is that some features may or may not be included with your price plan. You can check our plan comparison to find out more.
Can we organize paid events?
Yes, you can. All of our paid plans come with the option to create paid events, which you can charge for either online or in-person. For online payment, you must integrate with PayPal or Stripe to process transactions. Our paid events feature also lets you offer promo codes and discounts for early or group registration.
Can we schedule volunteers?
Absolutely! The feature is available starting with our Small plan. You can configure the roles you need to fill for each event, and assign volunteers to them. You can even schedule people on a recurring basis or have them assign themselves using a volunteer signup sheet.
Can we create a custom registration form for church events?
Yes. ChMeetings comes with a fully-fledged Forms module which you can use for data collection, and you can link any form to your events and use it as a mandatory registration form.
What ticket types can we create?
With ChMeetings, you are not constrained to specific ticket types and can create your own. You can easily name your ticket type and set pricing for each type. This way you can easily create day or multi-day tickets for recurring events, individual or group access, seat-based tickets, etc.
What does the Service Planning feature mean?
With the Service Planning feature you can plan your events so everyone is on the same page – literally – that’s because you can even print handouts for participants. Service Planning lets you plan your event in detail by adding content such as free text, scripture, notes, or songs. You can also attach files like documents, images, or audio.
Can we print name tags easily?
Yes. You can print name tags for all event attendants. The child check-in feature also lets you print name tags for children, which include additional fields such as a parent’s name or anything else you might find important by adding custom profile fields to the tag.
Can we collect donations during events?
Of course. If you integrate with PayPal or Stripe, you can collect donations starting from the attendance registration process. You can absolutely collect giving during the live event, too, if you so choose. It’s easy to add in-person giving to ChMeetings, too.
What reports can we run for our events?
ChMeetings comes with prebuilt events-specific reports such as: Attendance Report, Attendance Rate Report, Recurring Events Report, and Event Registration Log Report. Learn more about ChMeetings Reports.
