For those of you who can’t wait to see the Kachingle payment system working on beta (production) Kachingle site, here’s some screen shots from our development site. Keep in mind the data is all fake here, that’s why the dates are all the same.
There are four main displays of payment information.
- Each Site’s payments from Kachinglers
- Each Kachingler’s payments to Sites
- Dashboard for a Site Owner to see the status of all of their Sites (Medallions) and drill down to add more Sites, manage existing Sites, or see further information
- Pay-Out information for a particular Site
Because Kachingle is a transparent system, all payments are visible to everyone in the world except for an important difference when a Kachingler has chosen to be anonymous. That payment is marked as “anonymous” and is not linked back to the Kachingler. [This will be explained in more detail in a later post once the payment system is pushed to the beta.]
Here are screen shots of each of the four scenarios mentioned above.
1) Each Site’s payments from Kachinglers (including anonymous)
This view shows all of the payments to the Site named “puzzelate”. Anonymous payments are not linked to the Kachingler’s profile.

2. Each Kachingler’s payments to Sites
This view is of the frank the Kachingler’s “Sites I Visit”. Frank is logged into the Kachingle site (thus as his default he sees the private view that includes the Sites he is kachingling anonymously).

3. Dashboard for a Site Owner to see the status of all of their Sites (Medallions) and drill down to add more Sites, manage existing Sites, or see further information.
All of frank’s Sites can be managed from this page.

4. Pay-Out information for a particular Site (puzzelate)
The Pay-Out dates will be once a month…here in the test data they are all the same date. Payments from Kachinglers are continuously accruing however and shown the instance they occur. On the Pay-Out date for the Site, an actual Pay-Out is made to the Site’s PayPal account if the Account Balance is $100 or greater. Otherwise the amount is carried forward until the next Pay-Out date for the Site.

There will be enhancements to the payment displays as we evolve the system.
