KADEPAY FOR CLUBS & ASSOCIATIONS

The club dues app that lets your treasurer stop chasing renewals.

Garden clubs, car clubs, book clubs and alumni associations all share the same January problem: dues. KadePay sends renewal bills with reminders, runs recurring membership payments on Team or Pro, sells tickets for the annual banquet and keeps every member's history in one place.

Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.

Sound familiar?

Your club runs on friendship. Dues run on reminders.

Most clubs have one volunteer treasurer, a spreadsheet passed down for years and members who mean to pay. These are the jobs that wear volunteers out, and how KadePay helps with each one.

01

Chasing annual dues member by member

Every January the treasurer emails sixty people, gets forty checks, and spends March gently asking the rest at meetings.

With KadePay

Send each member a bill for annual dues by text or email with reminders, so nobody has to do the nudging. Members pay from the link by card, wallet or bank transfer.

Ways to get paid
02

Members who would rather pay monthly than all at once

The $240 yearly dues feel steep to newer members, and a few drift away rather than ask about splitting it up.

With KadePay

Offer monthly dues of $20 as a recurring bill on the Team or Pro plan, collected from the member's saved method for as long as they stay a member.

Recurring billing
03

Early-bird renewal deadlines nobody enforces

You announce a $10 discount for renewing by March 1, then feel bad charging full price to the friend who paid on March 4.

With KadePay

Send the early-bird price as a vanishing bill on Team or Pro that expires on the deadline. After that, the regular renewal link is what is left, and nobody has to play the bad guy.

Vanishing bills
04

Banquet and outing payments collected at the door

The holiday banquet is $45 a head, half the room pays cash at the door, and the head count never matches the caterer's bill.

With KadePay

Sell club event tickets from a link ahead of time, and scan each ticket's QR code at check-in. Ticket links do not assign seats or stop at a number, so track the count for the caterer yourself.

Payment links and QR codes
05

New member applications on paper at the meeting

A prospective member fills in a paper application, the secretary loses it in a tote bag, and they wonder why nobody called.

With KadePay

Share a membership application form from your Flex Link with your bylaws acknowledgment and any waiver. Applicants sign on their phone after signing in, and the board sees it on their profile.

Forms and signatures

How it fits your week

A club year, from renewals to the banquet

  1. Renewal season opens

    Members get a dues bill by text or email with reminders, or an early-bird vanishing bill that expires on your deadline if you are on Team or Pro.

  2. New members join

    Your Flex Link on the website and the meetup flyer opens the membership application form and the first year's dues link.

  3. Monthly payers stay current

    Members on monthly dues are billed through recurring bills on Team or Pro, and their history shows on their profile next to private board notes.

  4. Events and outings

    The spring outing and the holiday banquet sell tickets by link, volunteers scan QR codes at the door, and the merch table takes Tap to Pay on a compatible phone.

  5. Treasurer's report

    Before the annual meeting, the club treasurer downloads every dues, ticket and donation payment for the report, and passes access to the next treasurer when terms change.

Every way your members pay

KadePay for clubs

Choosing the best club dues app for a volunteer-run club

Association membership software often comes with member directories, websites and email tools a small club never uses. Membership dues collection is the part that actually hurts: getting everyone to pay, on time, without awkward reminders from a friend at the monthly meeting.

To collect club dues online with KadePay, send renewal bills with reminders, or set up recurring bills on the Team or Pro plan for members who prefer monthly. An early-bird vanishing bill that expires on your deadline keeps the discount fair, and annual dues paid by card, wallet or bank transfer all land in one list.

Clubs also run events. Ticket links with QR check-in handle the banquet and the summer picnic, Tap to Pay on a compatible phone handles the hat and mug table, and donation links cover the scholarship fund. Members can add your business page to their phone home screen to find their bills and forms.

Each member's applications, payments and notes live on one profile, and the club treasurer can download every transaction for the annual report. When officers change, Team and Pro let you update who has access instead of sharing a password.

CLEAR ANSWERS

Clubs & associations: your questions, answered.

What is the best club dues app for a small club?

One that collects dues without a volunteer chasing anyone. KadePay sends renewal bills with reminders, runs monthly or yearly dues as recurring bills on Team or Pro, sells event tickets with QR check-in and keeps signed applications on each member's profile.

How do I collect club dues online?

Send each member a dues bill by text or email with reminders, or share one dues payment link at meetings and in your newsletter. Members pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer, and each payment lands on their profile.

Can members pay club dues monthly instead of yearly?

Yes, on the Team or Pro plan. Set up a recurring bill for the monthly amount, collected from the member's saved card or bank account. Members who prefer one payment a year can keep paying from the yearly renewal bill.

How do we handle membership renewal reminders?

Send renewal bills with reminders turned on, so members get nudged without anyone writing emails. For an early-bird rate, a vanishing bill on Team or Pro expires on your deadline, and the regular price applies after that.

Can new members fill out a membership application online?

Yes. Build an application form with your questions, bylaws acknowledgment and any activity waiver. Applicants complete and sign it on their phone after signing in, and the board can review it on their profile before the next meeting.

How much does KadePay cost for a club or association?

For a small club, Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month; payment and usage fees apply. Recurring dues, vanishing bills and officer logins need Team or Pro. Plan details are on the pricing page.
