What MemberClicks Does Well
MemberClicks has built a solid reputation among associations for good reasons:
- Member directories and profiles. Searchable member directories with custom fields, member types, and public-facing profiles. For chambers and professional orgs, directories are a core deliverable.
- Dues billing and renewals. Automated invoicing, renewal reminders, and online payment processing reduce manual follow-up. Tiered membership levels keep billing organized.
- Website builder. A built-in website builder lets associations manage their public presence alongside membership data without developer help.
- Email marketing. Built-in email tools for newsletters, event promotions, and targeted communications to member segments.
For associations that primarily need member management and a public-facing directory, MemberClicks delivers a focused experience.

When MemberClicks Is a Good Fit
MemberClicks works well for organizations that:
- Run an association or chamber where directories and dues billing are the primary workflow
- Already have separate accounting software and a CRM they trust
- Need a built-in website builder without developer help
- Want email marketing tied to membership segments
- Are comfortable with quote-based pricing
If your finance team works independently from your membership team, MemberClicks can handle the membership role. But track your total cost: quote-based pricing plus separate accounting, CRM, and volunteer tools adds up.
When Membership Needs Accounting and Volunteers
The gap shows up when your association outgrows membership-only workflows:
- No fund accounting means manual reconciliation. Every dues payment and event fee in MemberClicks needs re-entry into your accounting system. As volume grows, reconciliation risk grows with it.
- No donor CRM for giving beyond dues. Associations accepting donations, sponsorships, or grants alongside dues need a donor CRM. MemberClicks does not track donor relationships or stewardship workflows.
- No volunteer coordination. Events, committees, and programs that depend on volunteers need a separate tool for scheduling, hour tracking, and background checks. See our guide on membership management software for nonprofits for what to evaluate.
- Quote-based pricing creates budget uncertainty. Without published pricing, comparing total cost across vendors is harder.
When you add accounting software, a CRM, and a volunteer tool alongside MemberClicks, total cost and complexity often exceed an all-in-one platform. For a broader view, our association management software buyer guide covers what to look for.
Switching from MemberClicks
Start with a member record and dues history export from MemberClicks. Confirm that membership levels, committee assignments, and event registrations export cleanly. Directory data and custom fields may need manual mapping.
See our MemberClicks migration guide and the nonprofit data migration checklist to plan each stage.
Before you switch, verify:
- Member records exported with contact details, membership levels, and status
- Dues payment history includes dates, amounts, and level associations
- Event registrations and attendance records documented
- Committee and group assignments mapped to your new structure
- Directory data and custom fields reviewed for import compatibility
- Team has tested the new member portal before communicating the switch
Bottom Line
MemberClicks is a focused membership platform — and membership is where it stops. If your association needs fund accounting, donor CRM, volunteer management, or financial reporting alongside directories and dues billing, you are paying for MemberClicks plus separate accounting, CRM, and volunteer tools.
Alignmint combines donor management, fund accounting, volunteer hour tracking, and events in one platform. Every dues payment flows into your general ledger. Every member profile connects to giving history and volunteer participation. For nonprofits under $100K in annual donations, it is free.
