Press Releases

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – YourMembership.com Inc., a leading global provider of web-based membership software, today announced the launch of several new commerce features that enable member-based organizations to tap into new sources of non-dues revenue. The new features allow organizations to accept partial payments for conference registrations and store purchases, sell career postings via their online stores, and modify store orders post-purchase.

YourMembership.com's partial payment option allows organizations to offer partial payments when users purchase products – including higher-cost items like tradeshow exhibit space and conference registrations – from the organization's online store. Store products and event tickets may be individually configured to require only a specified percentage of cost due at the time of purchase with the balance due a specified number of days from the date-of-purchase or on a specific date. If a customer chooses to pay the partial amount due, they will receive an email notification in advance of their balance due date.

Organizations may also use the YourMembership.com online community software to sell career postings via their online stores and allow them to be purchased by members and/or non-members. When purchased by members who are signed-in to the community, career postings are linked to members' profiles and accessible from their profile management pages. Non-members who purchase career postings will receive special management links during checkout and may alternatively find their career postings by entering their email addresses and invoice numbers.

YourMembership.com also added the ability for site administrators to modify store orders after purchase. Administrators may update the description, size, type, color and custom field values for each item purchased. Store order modifications are also reflected on the related invoice and any necessary adjustment transactions are created automatically.

"An important part of our commitment to our customers involves the constant evolution of the YourMembership.com product," said William H. Stover Jr., CEO and president of YourMembership.com. "All of these new commerce enhancements are provided free to all YourMembership.com customers – and each is designed to provide our customers with new, innovative ways to increase their all-important non-dues revenue."
