The Membership feature gives you a complete set of tools for managing your club's members, from sign-up and renewal through to reporting and communication.

## Features at a glance

- **Eligibility rules** - Restrict who can buy a package by age, gender, or custom profile field values.
- **Automatic renewals** - Members can opt in to automatic renewal so their membership renews without any manual intervention.
- **Expiry reminders** - Configurable email reminders are sent before a membership expires or auto-renews.
- **Member groups** - Assign members to custom groups for targeted emails and session access control.
- **Linked profiles** - Allow one account to manage multiple profiles, useful for family memberships or parents managing children.
- **Profile fields** - Collect custom information from members at registration or on their profile page.
- **Member import** - Bulk import members from a CSV file.
- **Membership status** - Track members across guest, trial, active, lapsed, and expired states.
- **Digital wallet passes** - Members can add their membership card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for quick, scannable access at the club.
