Members.dev is membership software suitable for Maker labs, hackerspaces, pottery studios, art clubs, recording studios, print rooms, wood shops, and community workshops.
Each one sells access and time differently. A maker lab might sell 24/7 shop access, a pottery studio might sell wheel time and kiln firings, an art club might sell an annual subscription plus life-drawing sessions, and a recording studio might sell room hours.
While they look different, they are all variants of the same thing: memberships, bookings, inductions, and payments. Members.dev brings them together in one platform.
Yes. Create a product for each membership type or tier: full access, an off-peak or student plan, a day pass, or a shared plan for two people.
Each product has its own price, renewal schedule, joining fee, and benefits. Someone can hold more than one subscription, so a member can keep a monthly plan and also buy a day pass or an extra block of access credits.
Yes. You can assign benefits to products, and a credit pack is a one-off product that adds benefits such as 10 studio hours or 5 class places.
You can set the same benefits on monthly recurring plans, so that a member gets a base allowance and can buy extra credits as needed.
Benefits can be consumed when someone books a session or when staff record usage, so that you can build a flexible credit system that works for your space.
Yes. Publish one-off or recurring sessions with a capacity, a waitlist, and prices that follow the membership tier. Use that for a pottery course, an open-studio evening, a life-drawing session, a recording-room booking, or a talk.
You can set member specific prices, or credit deductions for each session.
Members get confirmation on their phone and can cancel when your policy allows it. A session can also be set to draw down a credit.
Build a custom form for your organisation with sections for experience, emergency contacts, and the consents you need. You can add signature fields for waivers, and a files to upload photos of a licence. Many customers also embed safety protocol videos into the form.
You can require those answers before someone becomes a member, and attach a further form to a product so shop access or a specialist induction has to be signed.
Yes. With approval turned on, staff review every new member application before that person can buy a membership or book a session. You can also let qualifying people join immediately.
Invite-only joining is there for a specialist studio or a community programme that should stay private.
Yes. You can issue a branded card for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Fields and styling are completely configurable, and you can have different cards for different membership tiers.
Staff can scan cards at the door to see whether the membership is active or check members into events. You can connect the digital card to an access control system to allow 24/7 access or restrict areas to certain members.
Dues are collected automatically for recurring products. Members can pay by saved card or Direct Debit where available, failed payments are retried, and reminders go out automatically.
Workshop tickets, day passes, and credit packs sit on the same account and admins can create one-off invoices and charges for any ad-hoc purchases.
You can connect Stripe, PayPal, or GoCardless in one click. A custom gateway can be connected through the API, and you can record offline payments such as bank transfer, cheque, and cash.
You keep the processor account and its payment data, and you can disconnect a provider at any time.
Yes. You can embed membership, event calendars, and checkout forms on the site you already have and customise them to match your brand.
Alternatively, you can use the Members whitelabel membership website and app and link to those from your own site.
If you want further integration, the Members API allows you to integrate with custom apps, including auth sign-in, subscriptions, bookings, and payments.
Yes. We import member records, induction and consent fields, membership plans, payment history, and the payment methods needed to keep collecting if available.
Every customer gets help extracting and cleaning up existing data, field mapping, and a test import to confirm records and active subscriptions before you go live.
You can start customising your membership records, website, and app today.
How long it takes to go live depends on your membership structure, data quality, payment setup, branding, and any access-control requirements. Most spaces are live in anything from a day to a few weeks.
Publishing a member app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store can take another 1 to 2 weeks for store review.
Any size, from a studio run by one or two people to a maker lab team of 10 to 20.
Customers range from groups of around 20 members to organisations with more than 1,000.
