Kanal-WEB
System diagram: the Kanal-WEB server connects Kanal-WEB for members (payment forms and payment history on My Page), kintone for the secretariat (product master, contracts and payment history) and the payment service provider

Collecting fees for associations, unions and societies: too much time and effort?

Connect kintone with a payment system and manage payments in kintone.

All in one place

Payment data in one place, payment notices sent automatically

By connecting kintone with a payment system, payment information is managed in one place in kintone. Connected with Kanal-WEB, payment notices to end users such as members are automated, supporting efficient operations.

Compared with custom development, it keeps the initial cost down and goes live in a short time.

Before: payments were tracked in Excel and reconciled by eye and by hand, taking time and effort and causing missed reconciliations. After introducing payment management: payments reconcile automatically, payment information updates in kintone in real time, and payment reminder emails can be sent from kintone

* About two months on average

Automation

Payment data linked to member data automates fee collection

First application: membership request, admission fee payment and membership certificate. When an applicant applies through the membership form, the application is registered in the application app. The applicant pays (convenience store, bank or card) from the payment form sent by email, the payment service provider reconciles it automatically in the payment app, and a membership certificate email is sent from the member app. The certificate can be downloaded from My Page.
Renewal: renewal notice, annual fee payment and updated certificate. A renewal notice is emailed to all members from the application app; when a member pays from the payment form, the payment service provider reconciles it automatically in the payment app and a renewed certificate email is sent from the member app. The certificate can be downloaded from My Page.
Payment integration

3 ways kintone connects with payments

  1. An email about an underpayment sent from a kintone record

    Send emails with payment links from kintone

    No need to open an email app send email straight from kintone

    Send emails with a payment link from kintone without logging in to the payment system.

    Notices about unpaid or underpaid amounts can also be emailed directly from kintone, without opening an email app.

  2. A Kanal-WEB membership application form leading to the payment form

    Seamless payment forms reduce missed opportunities

    With Kanal-WEB building forms is easy too

    Easily build web forms for memberships, renewals and event registration. Payments connect on the form, so you never miss membership or participation fees.

  3. Supported payment methods (credit card, convenience store, bank transfer and direct debit), billing types (one-off and recurring) and how payment requests are sent (automatic emails with payment links and automatic connection with Kanal-WEB forms)

    Payment methods that fit your business model

    One-off and recurring payment options

    Monthly, yearly and other payment methods that fit your business model. Supports one-off (spot) payments as well as automatic renewal (subscriptions).

  • Collecting tournament and event fees
    Industry

How it works

From getting started to receiving payments

Getting started with the payment option
Your organization applies (organization and business information, types of payments, official documents, bank account for deposits and so on); Kanal-WEB handles the application and the payment service provider reviews it. After approval, Kanal-WEB completes the setup and you can start using it.

You can start once the payment service provider has completed its review

From payment to deposit
An end user’s payment request passes Kanal-WEB checks and is accepted by the payment service provider; the user pays by credit card, convenience store, bank and so on through a payment link. The payment history is linked to Kanal-WEB and your kintone, the provider deposits the amount minus fees into your registered account, and monthly processing sends fee statements and receipts.

From an end user’s payment to the deposit into your registered bank account
