Web forms and membership

in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT®: General Discussions

Hello - We just started using RE NXT and have set up a webform to accept online donations. We would like to use the NXT webforms for online memberships as well but are running into some issues. We wanted to see if anyone else in this group has had the same issue and how/if they solved it.

As background, we have five lower level memberships and five upper level memberships, for 10 total membership levels.

We offer discounted memberships for Educators and occasionally run membership promotions where we offer a discount for a limited time with a code. We are being told that in order to offer discounted memberships, we need to create a membership level for each discount. In other words, to offer a 20% discount for Educators, we would need to add 10 more membership levels, each with the discounted price.

This seems extremely complicated to us and we could potentially end up with hundreds of membership levels.

Has anyone else encountered this and how did you solve it?

    Michelle, I can't help with the discounted membership amounts. It does seem likely that you would have to create new membership tiers for those different amounts if using a donation form. However, I did want to mention that Blackbaud has announced that it is working on releasing true Membership forms into webview in the coming year. I don't know what options will be available in those forms, but perhaps you could ask your BB rep to include you as an early adopter. Since your org uses memberships so much, you'd be one of the users who would be able to give the most feedback.
