How to collect membership dues online
Stop chasing checks. Covey collects recurring membership dues via credit card, ACH, or PayPal, sends reminders automatically, and reconciles to a single ledger your treasurer actually trusts.
01 · The playbook
How to do it, step by step.
-
01
Connect your payment processor
Connect Stripe and/or PayPal in three clicks. No separate merchant account application, no long underwriting wait.
-
02
Configure your dues levels
Standard, senior, student, life, patron, whatever you call yours. Set price, billing interval, and what benefits come with each level.
-
03
Import your existing members
Upload a CSV or let us do a human-led migration from your current platform. Existing members keep their renewal date.
-
04
Turn on automatic reminders
Pre-built templates at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before renewal. Customize the copy if you want. Or leave it; the defaults work.
-
05
Watch dues collect themselves
Members renew in three clicks. Failed charges retry automatically. Treasurer sees a live ledger instead of a spreadsheet.
02 · What it gets you
The payoff.
- Renewal rate typically increases 10 to 30 percentage points vs. manual collection
- Treasurer reclaims 5 to 15 hours a month previously spent on manual invoicing
- Member experience improves: no more paper invoices, no more write-and-mail-a-check
- Financial reporting runs on live data, not month-old reconciliations
