Membership Management

Membership Management replaces expensive SaaS membership tools with a self-hosted system you fully own. Built for clubs, nonprofits, associations, and any organization that manages dues-paying members, it handles the full membership lifecycle — sign-up, payment, renewal, and expiration — without a monthly software fee or vendor lock-in. Track every member's status, contact details, and payment history in one place. Accept one-time dues or recurring subscriptions through PayPal, or record offline payments like checks and wire transfers. An automated reminder system emails members before they lapse, and a self-service dashboard lets members renew, manage their subscription, or update their own information — no admin intervention required. Key Features

• Flexible renewal terms — Choose the expiration model that matches how your organization actually runs: rolling anniversary terms, a fixed calendar-year cutoff, or an anchored renewal date. No code required.
• Built-in payment processing — Accept one-time dues or recurring subscriptions through PayPal, or track offline payments (checks, wire transfers, cash) manually.
• Automated expiration reminders — Configurable email notices at 30 days, 7 days, 1 day, and past-due keep members renewing on time, with built-in duplicate-send protection.
• Member self-service dashboard — Members log in to renew, manage their subscription, or update their own contact information without emailing an administrator.
• Role-based access control — Dedicated Member, Membership Manager, and Membership Administrator roles give staff exactly the access they need.
• CSV import — Bring an existing roster in from a spreadsheet in minutes.
• MailChimp sync (premium) — Keep your email list in sync automatically as members join, renew, or lapse.

Who It's For Clubs, nonprofits, associations, and subscription communities that manage a roster of dues-paying members and want to own their membership data instead of renting it from a SaaS platform.
