Three reasons memberships work better in the platform you already run. Native to the platform Members sit beside your events, stallholders, bookings and payments, one login, no syncing two systems. Benefits that actually work Member-only access and priority bookings enforce themselves, because events already live in the same platform. One member record Application, plan, payments, benefits and comms, everything about a member lives in one place. FAQ ## Questions, answered. Can I run a free membership? Yes, create free community plans alongside paid ones, side by side. Members apply to whichever plan fits, and there's nothing stopping you running an entirely free program if that suits your organisation. How do paid memberships collect? Through monthly auto-debit subscriptions. Accepting a member's application starts their subscription, there's no separate step to switch billing on. Can I customise the application form? Yes. Membership applications use the same custom form-builder as the rest of the platform, ask exactly what you need to know before you accept someone. What benefits can I offer? Member-only events, priority bookings ahead of the public, member discounts and credits you can grant, plus member-only documents, all tracked on the same member record. ## Turn your community into members. Bring your member list, however messy, and we’ll show you how plans, applications, subscriptions and benefits can all be managed in one place.
