Streamlining In-Person Membership Sales: From Events to Door-Knocking Campaigns

Communal is an all-in-one community management platform powering over 40% of Calgary’s community associations, streamlining memberships, programs, events, volunteering, donations, and facility rentals. Most payment terminals (POS, or point-of-sale, terminals) simply take a payment and stop there, leaving your membership director to manually add data to spreadsheets afterward. Join Wade, Co-Founder of Communal, to see how a fully integrated payment terminal does more: processing sales on the spot, syncing membership data directly with Communal, and automatically delivering a digital membership card, no manual steps required.

What You’ll Learn:

• • Sell and Sync in One Motion: Process a membership sale on a handheld terminal, charge the card, and watch the transaction and member details push directly into Communal, no exporting, no re-entry, no spreadsheets.
  • Renewals Made Instant: Search for an existing member on the terminal, pull up their profile, process the renewal, and see their status update in real time.
  • The Digital Card, Delivered Automatically: Once the sale is complete, the member’s digital card is issued instantly, requiring no follow-up step from staff or volunteers.
  • One Terminal, Every Sale: Take facility rental payments on the same terminal, with every transaction landing automatically in your reporting database for easier bookkeeping. It also handles tickets, food, drinks, and donations at events, so your team is not juggling a separate cash box or card machine.
  • Why This Only Works When It’s Integrated: What breaks down with unsynced, third-party terminals, and why keeping the terminal, database, and card in one system changes what is possible at the point of sale.
