Tap to Pay

Kananas combined with Stripe allows your organization to accept card payments without buying or renting a traditional card reader, using only a compatible smartphone, iPhone or Android.

The payment experience is an important factor in building trust and encouraging members to complete their payments. Kananas and Stripe provide a smooth, intuitive payment flow, allowing users to complete transactions in just a few clicks. This ease of use can encourage more members to pay online or in person, helping your nonprofit, club, or member-based organization collect payments more efficiently.

To activate this feature, your organization must open an account with our online payment processing partner, Stripe. You can do this by clicking the “Connect with Stripe” button on your back-office home page or from Settings / Options.
