Let an organization renew and buy memberships, events and products for its whole team in one checkout, with renewal items that stay editable until payment. A headless, API-driven application gives members and staff a fast, clear interface, while your backend platform remains the system of record.

How it works, in 5 simple steps

Every renewal, group or individual, follows the same guided flow from selection to payment.

  1. 1

    Select members or group renewals

    Choose the group path to renew for the organization, or the individual path for your own membership.

  2. 2

    Assign memberships or products

    Set the membership term, register members for events and add optional products.

  3. 3

    Manage cart and calculate total

    Add or remove renewal items at any time before paying. The total updates automatically.

  4. 4

    Review invoice details

    See each renewal item with its amount, who it is billed to and the total.

  5. 5

    Complete payment and place order

    Pay by card or eCheck (ACH) in one checkout, then view or download the invoice.

Headless architecture

The front end and the backend are separate layers connected by APIs. That means the user experience can be redesigned or extended without re-platforming your backend, and the backend can evolve without rebuilding the interface.

API layer Connects the experience to your backend platform and a payment gateway such as Authorize.Net
Backend platform Member data, business logic and transaction management on the platform you choose, including AMS platforms

Integration and plugin capability

Use it as a standalone headless application, or integrate it as a plugin or widget inside platforms you already run. The architecture is designed for integration with AMS platforms, and for customization to fit your environment.

Standalone

Deploy as a complete member-facing application backed by your backend platform.

Embedded

Add membership and roster experiences to an existing application as a widget or plugin.

AMS platforms

Designed to integrate with association management (AMS) platforms.

One solution for memberships, rosters and payments

Organizations often need a member-facing experience that is simpler and more flexible than what a standard configuration offers. This solution separates the experience from the data: a React front end talks to your backend through APIs, so you can shape the interface around your workflows without moving your data.

Modern member experience

A clean React interface for browsing memberships, renewing for a whole group, managing rosters and checking out.

Your backend stays the source of truth

Member data, business logic and transactions are managed in your backend platform.

Flexible by design

Run it standalone or embed it as a plugin or widget in an existing platform.

Built to be customized

We tailor workflows, screens, integrations, backend platforms and payment gateways to your requirements.

Membership management

Give members a clear path from choosing a membership to completing their order. The experience supports both group and individual membership management, so each audience lands in the right place.

  • Choose between group contacts and individual membership records
  • Individual renewals: members renew their own membership in a guided flow
  • Group renewals: an organization owner renews the group membership and covers the whole team in a single guided flow and a single payment
  • Group purchase: organization owners can buy events and products for any of the organization’s members and pay for everyone in a single checkout
  • Register members for events such as chapter summits and networking receptions
  • View and manage individual member records
  • Add memberships and products to a cart
  • Renewal items can be added or removed before checkout, for individual and group renewals
  • Review the renewal invoice summary before payment, with the option to add or remove invoice line items
  • Membership data and business logic live in your backend platform

Contact management

Keep every connection in one place. A searchable contact directory gives your team a clear, human view of the people in your network, with the details they need at a glance.

  • Searchable directory by name or email
  • Names, email addresses and roles at a glance
  • Create, edit and delete contacts
  • Fields and workflows adaptable to your requirements

Secure online payments

Checkout is part of the experience. Members review their order, see an itemized invoice, and pay online through the payment gateway of your choice. Transactions are managed in your backend platform.

  • Itemized invoice with price, duration and amount
  • Remove items before paying
  • View or download the invoice
  • One payment for a full group renewal
  • Online payment through your preferred payment gateway (e.g. Authorize.Net, Stripe, or custom gateway)
  • Transaction management in your backend

Flexible backend platform

Your data stays where your organization already manages it. Membership records, roster data, business rules and payment transactions are handled in your backend platform, so teams keep one source of truth while members get a modern interface. The architecture is not tied to a single backend: the API layer can be adapted to the platform that fits your organization, including AMS platforms.

💡 Architecture Insight: Whether your organization relies on Salesforce, Fonteva, Nimble AMS, Microsoft Dynamics, Blackbaud, or a custom database, our headless API connector bridges legacy data stores with React micro-frontends without expensive data migrations or risky rip-and-replace projects.
