How to collect membership dues online
Stop chasing checks. Covey collects recurring membership dues by card payment through your own Stripe account, sends reminders automatically, and keeps every payment in one place your treasurer actually trusts.
01 · The playbook
How to do it, step by step.
-
01
Connect your Stripe account
Connect your own Stripe account in a few clicks. Payments go straight to your bank, and Covey takes 0% of your dues.
-
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 reminders at 30, 14 and 7 days before renewal, or your own schedule per level. 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 every payment in one list 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
