Kismet Golf is for event organizers running day-of operations at golf tournaments and outings—not for golfers or the general public. CHECK IN GUESTS See who's expected and who's arrived. Search the roster, filter by status, and check guests in with a tap. For scoring events, switch between rounds and check players in round-by-round. Add optional guest contact info from a player's detail screen. COLLECT IN-PERSON PAYMENTS Take card-present payments with a Bluetooth Stripe Terminal reader (e.g. WisePad 3, Reader M2). Tap New order to build an order from your event catalog—registrations, sponsor packages, and add-ons—and charge on-site. View payment history and today's totals on Home and Orders. LOG OFFLINE PAYMENTS When card isn't an option, record cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, invoice, or other offline payments in the same New order flow. Orders appear in your in-person history alongside card payments. BUILT FOR ORGANIZERS Sign in with a one-time passcode sent to your email.
