What Makes Checkin Unique: A Comprehensive Overview
What is so different about Checkin – a Norwegian provider of event registration systems?
There are four main reasons that make Checkin the natural first choice for many event organizers, such as event agencies as Macsimum or large conferences as Oslo Business Forum:
- our powerful financial module
- ultra-flexible system
- high level of customer service,
- the customization of our solutions to align with your branding.
This all forms a package that leaves us with few, if any, natural competitors.
1. A powerful financial module: the beating heart of our platform
Money is often the lifeline of an event, funding the entire experience. However, managing the finances of your event can be both a joy and a challenge for event organizers and accountants alike.
Here is just a handful of questions that may arise:
- What payment solutions should we offer? Cards, Mobile Payment, invoices … all of them?
- What agreements must be made with VISA, Mastercard, Mobile Payment, etc.?
- How do we ensure people pay for their tickets?
- How do we handle follow-ups, refunds, and reminders?
Checkin excels in the financial domain, with its financial module receiving acclaim as the powerhouse of the event management system.
It's the reason we proudly claim to be the “accountant's best friend”. The financial module is where we invest the most money and development hours, aiming to be at the forefront.
With Checkin, managing outstanding payments becomes straightforward.
- Unlike our competitors, who may require you to integrate with Stripe, PayPal, or other payment solutions, we've taken a different path. No need to sign agreements with VISA, Mastercard, or Vipps – we've already done that for you.
- Our competitors often overlook invoicing as a payment option, but Checkin includes a built-in invoice generator. We handle invoicing automatically, saving you both time and money.
So, how do you collect payments when everything is in Checkin? We collect the funds and transfer them to your account at the end of each month. No need to stress over setting up a Vipps business account. You can use your time for other tasks, such as creating an unforgettable event.
2. Great flexibility and freedom of choice
With Checkin, you´ll get the best of both worlds – a user-friendly, flexible system that allows you to choose the solution you need.
Let’s illustrate this with an example. Consider the check-in/access control feature, common in many systems, where you scan tickets to register arrivals.
In Checkin, this feature can be used in various ways beyond ticket scanning:
- Checking if those in the food truck line have purchased food tickets.
- Ensuring compliance with room capacity regulations.
- Tracking the number of students boarding and disembarking a bus.
- Counting passages at a festival and more.
Using this feature as a counter for festival attendance is an excellent example of gathering data for future analysis of attendee movements. This insight will help you when planning for next year's event, balancing the crowd between different points based on previous data.
Checkin offers you many customizable features. For instance, you can decide whether registrants can make changes to their bookings themselves and until which date. Registration forms can also be tailored to your preferences.
The customization features at your disposal allow you to choose the best solution for your event from multiple choices. Giving you the freedom to create both simple and advanced forms with ease. The choice is yours.
3. No licenses + great customer service = a win-win for you and us
We often receive praise for our customer service. And it really makes us proud.
But to be honest, we don't have a choice. Our pricing model is designed in such a way that when you succeed, we succeed.
It's a healthy philosophy and an excellent foundation for any collaboration.
While many of our competitors offer fixed monthly fees and binding contracts. Checkin offers you flexibility.
It costs you nothing when you don’t use our solution. And when you do use our solution – you only pay a small, fixed fee for each ticket sold, plus a transaction fee for paid events. And for events that are free for participants, you’ll pay 8 NOK per ticket.
And when it comes to customer support, you´ll get help in various ways. You can call our customer support centre, send us an email, or explore our online help centre, which includes loads of helpful articles and videos.
Checkin also offers you weekly training webinars that will show you how to set up your event – whether you want to hold a course, organize a trade show, or sell tickets for a concert.
4. Full control over your design and brand
Not many event management systems allow you to embed your registration form directly on your website.
The ability to style your registration form the way you want to design it (change fonts, colours, titles, buttons) is even less common among our competitors.
For us it is important that your event shines and looks and feels unique! There’s no need to display the Checkin branding on your form – do it your own way and show off your own brand.
And when the purchasing process feels like a seamless journey, trust us – you’ll sell more tickets.
To summarize
When you choose Checkin, you use an event management system that stands out and offers you a range of features. Not surprising, we’re easily the natural first choice for event organizers.
- Our powerful financial module simplifies payment and accounting processes. Saving you time both as an event organizer and as an accountant.
