StarChapter tracks attendance, revenue, member counts and automatically sends receipts during or after the event.

The email platform is great. > > **Cons**: There is no dedicated donation feature and is instead rolled into ecommerce. ----- ### "Much Better Than We Had Before\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jan** | *15 April 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent set up process. Our concerns were always addressed. Support after going live has been responsive and helpful also. > > **Cons**: Occasionally we had trouble understanding instructions given in Knowledge Base. There's been a learning curve in understanding how "Dynamic Content" works. > > Very good overall experience. Problems have been worked out and now receive complements on how easy the site is to navigate. Only downside is that we do get spam or phishing emails from Contact Us form submissions. ----- ### "Website administrator review" — 4.0/5 > **Doug** | *6 May 2019* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I wanted the ability to alter it when needed. > > **Cons**: It is complicated and time consuming...not intuitive. They offer a lot of videos and trainings but that requires time, of which is short for myself. > > The build on my web site took a while, as I was passed from rep to rep and not all of the information that the previous rep had put in place existed, so had to reinvent the wheel. The software is definitely not intuitive--you do have to read or listen to instructions in order to accomplish things within the site. Finding answers to "how to" questions is also not intuitive or easy...unless you work on it every day or have someone that just works the web site, it is difficult. In my case, the organization that uses it, is only a volunteer gig....so finding time to work on it is challenging. ----- ### "Nebraska school Nutrition" — 5.0/5 > **Brock** | *17 April 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The availability of being able to do your membership and running a website at the same time. Some of the best features that I like is being able to track the income from meetings online even if they are checks or not. Being new to this site is good and working with people. The fast responses from the questions I ask are a big plus to the whole system. Also being able to see how many visitors and page clicks we have has been cool as well. > > **Cons**: I don't have major problem yet, but the biggest Con I have is that it is a pretty vast system and coming from Nothing to this it just takes time to learn it. It isn't a knock against anything but you just need TIME to sit down and train your own people/team and be able to work through everything. Like I said we came from NOTHING to this system and we are all a group of volunteers trying to do this. > > We have been live for less then 2 months and I would say it has been great. ----- ### "Mixed feelings, mostly positive" — 4.0/5 > **Sheila** | *23 April 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like the fact that automated membership tasks help save the treasurer time. > > **Cons**: The back end is not at all intuitive. It's hard to use unless the user is experienced in website design. Also, we don't like that some countries where we have members are blocked. > > After about two years, it has been a mostly good experience. ----- Page: 1 / 27\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/155218/starchapter?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/155218/starchapter) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
