Square doesn't really support a membership program that would fit those needs exactly.

We sell memberships to our Zoo through Square, but only in the sense that we have buttons that are labeled for the memberships and the revenue goes under a category called membership.

I then have admission buttons that are labeled 'Member Adult' 'Member Child', etc. that have a value of $0.00...but that track the attendance.  (I have those zero value member admission buttons entered under the admissions category with the paying admission buttons...but it keeps the overall attendance lumped together in my reports.)

We track our memberships through Membee.com, which offers a pretty robust set of features for $65 a month.  Or you could use the methods you described to track them.

I appreciate your response. I had read in another thread about membee.com but haven't looked into it yet. I was thinking about creating an item like you said for $0 and checking in the customer using that while keeping track of it outside of Square. Good advice.

Thanks again.

Membee is...ok.  I mean, when you compare the pittance they charge vs. the other major players...it's a steal.  One pro tip if you ever find yourself down the road going with them:  look over the automated e-mail templates very closely.  They don't put much effort into them and they come across as rudely abusive to the members with repeated use of the word 'invoice' and 'due.' 🙂

Hi,

I'm managing a sport club and looking for a software to help managing payments and memberships.

Square ticks the payment box as our club is moving to card/online payments for membership and equipments sales.

However, I'm not sure if Square could help with membership payment tracking. If I set up the Club Membership as an item, will it be able to get a report of item sold together with the name of customers who bought it?

Can I get a report of all payments going through the linked bank account for reconciliation purposes?

Also, can multiple users share access to the software?

Thanks for your help.

Ken

The answer is YES

If I set up the Club Membership as an item, will it be able to get a report of the item sold together with the name of customers who bought it?  Yes, you can assign a customer to any sale.  If you are selling a recurring membership you can do this through recurring invoices.  If the customer saves there payment information then it will auto charge the account each month.

Can I get a report of all payments going through the linked bank account for reconciliation purposes? There are many reports you can use to show payment and daily deposits.

Also, can multiple users share access to the software? Yes, You can use employee management to give controlled access to the app.

If  customer signs up for a subscription product on the 15th of a month for example, will it renew on the 15th of the next month or am I able to set it up so that all subscriptions renew on the 1st of each month? 

This reply was created from merging an existing thread: Membership Management Database

I own an outdoor park that offers 3 levels of yearly membership.  I would like to know if Square is a viable option to manage the membership database.  The members need to be able to sign up either on-site or online, select their level of membership, agree to our liability waiver, watch a video that gives a tour of the facility, and of course pay. 

I would also like for each member to have either a user card or a number that they can enter when they arrive at the facility and when they leave.  I would also like to be able to email all of our customers for announcements/etc. 

Is this doable through Square?

@ProTEQ I'm moving your post here where you can read @RHatch's reply to this question! 

I'll also add that you can add your waiver as a PDF to an invoice, and you could include a link to the video in the invoice message field. You can create a 'Customer Number' field to be included in each Customer Profile - that way when you create a new profile you can assign a unique number to each member.

At this time Square doesn't support membership cards. You could look up a customer from the app to add their information to a sale - but customers wouldn't be able to check in to the app using their number.

And last but not least with Square Marketing you can create and send email campaigns to your members and/or reachable customers. If you have any other questions about Square Marketing feel free to post those for our Live Q&A coming up soon!

I am interested in moving to an online payment system for our PTO Membership. However, I need to collect information on each member. Does sqaure have  a way or app that would support this?

Thank You

How exciting @MEPTO! Square has a Customer Directory that holds information about your "customers" that might be a good fit for you. Here's a getting started guide: https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6217

Can I use gift cards as discount cards or as a membership card?

Example: I want to give out cards to loyal customers and when they use the card they will  receive discounts on certain items.

I also want to sell the cards as membership cards which would also entitle customers who purchase the card to certain member perks ie discounts..

you could do that but the gift card won't help as it isn't going to trigger any event to discount or unlock any special prices.

I work for a small non-profit art museum. We are looking to upgrade our membership system to include cards that can be scanned when a member visits. Can square create new membership cards and scan cards when members visit?

At this time Square doesn't have a membership card feature and I'll share your request with the Product Teams here. In the meantime, this thread has information about how other sellers use Square for their membership programs and subscriptions. I hope it helps or gives you some ideas!

Welcome to the Seller Community, @Katyd, and thanks for your post!

Yes, you can set up subscriptions with recurring invoices. For more details on how to go about it, have a look at RHatch's reply in: Does Square offer recurring payments (subscriptions)?

Hope this helps—don't hesitate to let us know if any questions remain. 🙂

I need to be able to have a link on my website that a customer can click on that will take their card for monthly payments and automatically charge it for 6 months or whichever one they purchase. This is not something where I would be sending an invoice but would be more like an online store where they enter their card and pay online. Would it work with this?

@monhershaft

You can definitely set up your customers to have recurring payments via our Invoice system. This thread should explain how to do it, and the benefits of setting it up like this. Your customers can also leave a Card on File to make the payments fully automated.

I also have this question, is there a way to create a checkout link that does it for a set period of monthly payments? such as 3 /6 / 12 monthly payment options? Thank you!
