Altru Ideas

Web links for recurring membership programs

I love the recurring membership program in Altru until I realized I can't post new program levels under recurring to the web. I recommend 1 of 2 things: add auto renewal payments to the Annual Membership programs or 2. add web links to the Recurring Membership programs. We live in 2015. Don't most people purchase online? Even if it is an automatically renewing item?

    There are multiple ideas for this request so the number of votes is likely to be higher than what is shown here. It's been 5 or 6 years since the first request.


    If you can have recurring donations online, how is it that recurring memberships online aren't available?

    This is absolutely essential. We haven't been able to promote our Sustainer membership program due to this limitation.

    This is absolutely a necessity. We have head directly from our members and prospect members that they would like this option.

    We should be able to set up and pay for recurring memberships under the "me,mnberships" tab. Why is recurring memberships even an option if we cant process payments through it?

    Recurring memberships are one of the top three reasons AMST converted to Altru.  Our Board of Trustees, community, and membership are requesting this daily.  As a result of increased standards in data security at our affiliated university, we are unable to take advantage of the back-end workaround.  At a Board of Trustee meeting yesterday, the Board was appalled that we do not have the ability to offer this service to our members.  It is viewed as lost revenue.   The availability of sustainable, recurring, auto-renewable memberships, and donations will be a determining factor as to whether AMST will renew its contract when it comes due. Please make this feature a priority and available as soon as possible.

    We're trying to eliminate the need for separating donors & members, so that we simply have a membership option and all donors become members at a certain level. Without this function, we'll be unable to implement that idea!

    I agree! We can now have patrons purchase recurring donations online, why not recurring memberships?
