Member Management

With RallyCat, organizations can accept memberships online with e-commerce payments made directly to their bank account.  New members will automatically be added to an online members directory.

Using RallyCat, the membership renewal process quick and easy:

• Expiration of your membership is done automatically based on your organization's renewal schedule.
• As members apply or renew, an automatic email confirmation is sent.
• The system will automatically enable and disable website logins as members register and expire.
• A history log of membership status and renewal dates is available to view online or export to Excel at anytime.

The Member Management module includes private members and board member-only areas for internal documents and notices.  Associations can accept website content contributions from logged-in members, such as forum postings, events, photos, and more.

RallyCat gives members the ability to manage their own profiles, photos, and contact information while administrators can view hidden fields that include information on the member's status, renewal history, email and forum preferences, event purchases, etc.
