Association Membership Website

This package builds a membership website for a trade association, sports club, hobby society or professional body: members join online, pay dues by card, renew automatically and reach members-only content. The admin shows at a glance who is current, who has lapsed and who renews this month.

Joining, paying and renewing

A new member fills in the signup form, pays by Stripe, and gets access to members-only pages straight away. Starter takes a one-time dues payment. Business adds multiple tiers, such as student, individual and corporate, with different prices and access, plus automatic card renewals and reminder emails before each expiry date. Members who pay by check or bank transfer can be marked as paid in the admin.

The member directory and privacy

The directory on Business shows only the fields each member agrees to share, such as name, company and city, and members change those choices from their profile. Phone numbers and emails stay hidden unless a member opts in. Meeting minutes, recorded talks, templates and newsletters sit in a resources library behind the login.

Premium for larger associations

• Event registration with a member price and a non-member price.
• Committee or chapter sections with their own pages and news.
• Member data export for your annual return or mailing house.
• Group discount codes for employers who enroll several staff.

The membership plugin's licence, if a paid one is needed, is bought in the association's name. Your bylaws decide voting rights and who counts as a member; the site records tiers and status, not governance.
