Activation: The one-time fee to activate this module for your website is $400. Note that virtual membership cards with a member photo are $600.
ClubExpress provides a feature that allows members to download a virtual membership card. This card can have any design the club wants and can include many fields from the database:
| Category | Available Fields |
|---|---|
| Names | Full name, reversed name, first name, last name, spouse full name, spouse reverse name, spouse first name, spouse last name, mailing name, salutation |
| Membership Info | Member number (number or code 39 bar code - no other code types), expiration date, join date, member type, member level (primary, secondary, tertiary - using the names the club has assigned) |
| Business Info | Member name or company name (if the member is part of a business membership, then the company name is displayed, otherwise the member name is shown), company name |
| Subgroup Info | Subgroup name (can show chapter, region, or district name), chapter (this will only pick up one chapter if the member belongs to multiple) |
| Address Info | Mailing name, address 1, address 2, postal location (city, state, zip) |
| Miscellaneous | Answer to a selected additional data question, today's date, email address, static text (any text up to 50 characters) |
Here is a sample card:
How It Works
For virtual membership cards, members will see a Download Membership Card option on their individual Profile screens. When they click it, a card will be dynamically customized and displayed for them; they can download it as a PDF (to print the card) or as a JPG (to use on a mobile device).
To get started, we need two JPEG files.
- The first is the “blank” membership card that we’ll install in the system.
- The second is the same but with dummy data filled in. This will tell us what data should go where, font, size, etc.
Each file should be 1012px X 638px (3-3/8” x 2-1/8”, which is credit card size at 300px/in.) Your designer can use full color right up to the edges (no need for a border.)
If the designer uses any custom fonts, we will also need the True-Type font files for installing on our Windows-based servers.
We need to know whether the cards should be enabled for secondary and tertiary members belonging to your membership.
Some clubs use secondary memberships for spouses while others simply list the spouse information as part of the primary membership; if this is the case, let us know if spouse cards should be enabled.
If your organization offers business memberships, virtual membership cards for those members can show the business name above the member's name.
