What changes when a club moves to digital membership cards?
A digital membership card is a pass in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet that identifies a member of a club or association. It carries the member's name, number and category and a barcode, and the organisation can change it after it is issued. Moving from plastic changes four things. The card is issued by link instead of by post. The member's phone replaces the card in the wallet. Renewals update the existing pass instead of replacing a card. And you can send a short message to every member who has installed it.
This applies to a golf club, a bowls club, a surf club, an RSL, a rowing club, a professional association or a community group. The same membership card template covers all of them, and the sector pages show the detail: golf clubs, bowling clubs, wine clubs and sports clubs and RSLs.
Rollout checklist
- List your membership types and what each card needs to show: name, number, category and expiry. Decide which of those you actually need.
- Create one card per type in the dashboard, add the crest and colours, and check the preview for both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
- Use Try it on my phone to add a test pass to your own wallet, then test the barcode on the scanner at your entry, bar or front desk before you tell members.
- Export your member list from your current system. Issue passes in bulk through the REST API (Growth and above), or send members the signup link and let them add the pass themselves.
- Put the QR code on the front desk, the newsletter, the renewal email and the website. Print the poster from the Share, QR and poster page.
- Keep plastic for a transition period. Members without a smartphone or who prefer a card can keep one, so retire plastic gradually, not on a fixed day.
What drives the cost
Plans are flat monthly plans with no per-pass fees, and they are based on active passes, so your member count and how many install the pass decide the plan. Features such as the REST API, segment-based sends and automatic tier rules are on Growth and above. Compare that with the printing, posting and replacement time you spend now, and check the pricing page against your own numbers. There is a free 14-day trial.
What members experience
A member taps a link, adds the pass and is done. The pass shows the club's branding, their name or number and a barcode. When their status or expiry changes, the pass updates on the phone, and when the club sends a notice it appears on the lock screen if they allow notifications. Members who do not want the pass, or who do not have a smartphone, can still be given a card. See replacing plastic cards for an honest look at what plastic still does better.
A wallet pass is not an identity document, and it does not run your membership database, fees or voting. Keep those in your member management system.

Questions, answered.
How do we switch from plastic cards to digital ones?
Create a pass for each membership type, test it on your own phone and scanner, then invite members by link or QR code. Keep plastic for members who want it while you change over.
What does it cost for a club?
Plans are flat monthly plans with no per-pass fees, based on active passes. Check the pricing page against your member count. There is a free 14-day trial.
Do all members need a smartphone?
To use the pass, yes. Most clubs keep a plastic card for members without one and retire it gradually.
Can we bring our existing member list across?
Export it from your current system and issue passes through the REST API on Growth and above, or send members the signup link so they add the pass themselves.
Does it replace our membership database?
No. It is the card, not the database. Fees, voting and records stay in your member management system.
Can we scan the card at the door?
The pass carries a barcode or QR code, and the dashboard has a Scan page. If you need it to work on a door or terminal, test a trial pass on that reader first.
