Kanonu Events
What it is
Kanonu Events provides ticketing, guest check-in, payments, digital passes, and reporting for nonprofit fundraisers and events. It covers galas with seating charts, golf tournaments with foursomes and sponsorships, and general-admission fundraisers. Fundraising tools include mobile silent auctions, paddle raises, donations, live bidding alerts, and a projector display for totals. Organizers can design seating charts without charge, and guests can choose tables on a live map. Conference features include tiered registration, capped workshops, badge printing, QR check-in, and an attendee hub opened from a link. Tournament tools cover schedules, pools and brackets, live scores, and referee assignments with conflict checks. Payments run through Stripe, and payouts settle directly to the organization; the maker says it does not hold funds. A free iOS and Android app supports discovery, tickets, tournament schedules, and organizer or volunteer check-in. The maker specifies iOS 17 or later. The plan costs $30.99, paid once, billed per registration and paid by the attendee at checkout; card processing is separate at 2.9% + 30¢, also paid by the attendee.
