v5.2Current
Ask your association, in the portalMembers

Members can ask questions in their portal — pool hours, renewal dates, what is on this week — answered only from the organization's own information, never invented.

v5.1
A website builderPublic pages

Build public pages from blocks — text, images, buttons, live gadgets, even sandboxed custom HTML — with your own meta descriptions and addresses, published on your association's own subdomain.

Blog and news publishingPublic pages

Write posts, publish them at /blog, and mark any post or page members-only so it renders in the portal instead of in public.

A members-only discussion boardMembers

Threads and replies inside the member portal, tied to the roster — no separate accounts — with pinning, locking and moderation from the console.

An online storePayments & dues

Sell merchandise with sizes, stock counts and on-page card checkout on your own Stripe account — 0% added, receipts emailed, inventory kept honest even if the buyer's tab closes.

Amenity bookingEvents

Members book the clubhouse, the court or the pavilion in slots from their portal; double-booking is impossible and approval-required amenities queue for the board.

A portal landing per membership levelMembers

Each level can greet its members with its own message the moment they open their portal — the sponsor note, the CE reminder, the budget-vote date.

v5.0
A live demo for every flavorPlatform

Four complete demo accounts — a rowing club, a chamber, a trade association and an HOA — each with real records, opened with one emailed link.

Apply for accessPlatform

Applications are read by a person and set up with your terminology and membership types before you sign in, instead of dropping you into an empty account.

Feature comparisons you can checkPlatform

Sourced, dated comparisons against Wild Apricot, Novi AMS and PayHOA, priced against your own member count and revenue.

v4.9
Your own domainPlatform

Point members.yourassociation.org at your console and public pages instead of using a gatherams.com address.

Outbound webhooksPlatform

Get a signed callback when a member joins, a payment settles or a registration is taken, with automatic retries and a delivery log.

REST API with keysPlatform

Read and write members, invoices and registrations from your own software, with per-key access and rate limits.

v4.8
Online electionsGovernance

Run a board election with one ballot per member enforced at the database, a closing time, and results you can publish.

CE credits by license yearGovernance

Credits post from the session that earned them and count against each member's own renewal year, with a shortfall list you can email.

Committee permission scopesGovernance

Give an officer the events module and nothing else — enforced on the server, not just hidden from the sidebar.

v4.7
Membership trends and retentionReporting

Joins, lapses and renewal rate over time, so the board question about growth has an answer on screen.

Custom report builderReporting

Pick the columns, filter by segment, export the result — without asking anyone to write a query.

Reconciliation-ready accounting exportPayments & dues

A dated ledger with accounts and sequential invoice numbers that imports cleanly into QuickBooks or Excel for your treasurer to review.

v4.6
Donations, recurring gifts and a thermometerPayments & dues

Take one-off or monthly gifts on your own processor, with a fundraising goal that only counts money actually settled.

Duplicate detection and mergeMembers

Find the same person entered twice and merge them without losing payment history or event attendance.

v4.5
QR check-inEvents

Scan attendees in at the door from a phone, or type the last few characters of a code when the signal gives out.

One payer, several attendeesEvents

A member business can book a table and name everyone on it, paying once.

Event reminder emailsEvents

Automatic reminders before an event, on the schedule you choose, without a campaign to build.

v4.4
Tiered and early-bird ticket pricingEvents

Several rates open at once — early bird, member, student, visitor — and everyone is charged the cheapest one they qualify for.

Coupon codesEvents

Percentage or fixed-amount codes with usage limits and expiry, redeemable at registration.

Per-event forms and paid optionsEvents

Ask for dietary requirements or a shirt size, and sell add-ons like lunch or a workshop alongside the ticket.

v4.3
Violations with photo evidenceGovernance

Log a violation against a home with photographs, escalate through courtesy and final notices, and track the cure date.

Architectural review requestsGovernance

Owners submit plans, the board decides in a queue, and the decision is recorded against the home permanently.

Automatic late feesPayments & dues

Fixed or percentage late fees applied past a grace period you set, so nobody has to volunteer to be the bad guy.

v4.2
Company membershipsMembers

A member business carries the tier and the invoice, with as many named staff contacts under it as it actually has.

Document libraryMembers

Publish governing documents, minutes and forms to members, with files served through short-lived private links.

v4.1
Two-factor authenticationPlatform

Turn on an authenticator code for admins — enforced when the console loads, not merely suggested at sign-in.

Block email editor and templatesCommunications

Build an email from blocks and save it as a reusable template, instead of pasting HTML.

Customisable invoices and receiptsPayments & dues

Your own numbering prefix, payment terms and footer on every invoice and receipt.

v4.0
Public directory, calendar and embedsPublic pages

A searchable member directory and shared calendar, with one-line embeds so they live on the website you already have.

Members-only content by levelPublic pages

Gate resources so only the levels you choose can open them.

Member-to-member contactMembers

Mail-merge personalisationCommunications

Drop a member's name, renewal date or balance into an email and see it resolved in the preview before you send.

Scheduled sends and campaign statsCommunications

Four flavors, one productPlatform

Tell us whether you are a club, a chamber, a trade association or an HOA, and the console uses your words — members, member businesses, or residents and assessments.

v1.0
The first releasePlatform

Members, dues, events, committees and email on one system, with payments taken on your own Stripe account at zero markup.

Most of the list above started as somebody saying “it would be good if…”. A title and a sentence is plenty — we will come back to you if we need more.

Optional, and used for this and nothing else.
