Memberly

What Memberly is

Memberly is a web platform for community organisations that brings membership records, events, payments, communications, fundraising, compliance, assets, and accounting together. Members can join and renew online, pay recurring dues, use a member portal, and receive communications; renewals can be automated. Memberly Pay processes cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Stripe, with an application fee for each successful payment that varies by plan. Accounting options include two-way Xero sync and an outbound-only connection to MYOB AccountRight. Memberly provides a token-authenticated REST API and signed webhooks as a free add-on on every plan, including Free. Its API page names import connectors for Wild Apricot, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Monday.com, Ontraport, GoHighLevel, and TryBooking. The Free plan costs nothing and covers 10 members, three active events, one donation campaign, and one active survey. Memberly describes separate databases for each organisation, two-factor authentication, hierarchy-scoped permissions, and seven-year activity-log retention. Sensitive records receive an additional XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption layer, which is not end-to-end or zero-knowledge encryption. Data is hosted in Australian data centres, though some specialist providers may process it overseas. There is no Memberly phone app.

Who it suits

Memberly suits sporting clubs, community and youth groups, charities, associations, and peak bodies that need membership administration alongside events, payments, communications, and fundraising. It may also suit organisations that use Xero or need API access and import connectors.

Limits

The Free plan allows 10 members, three active events, one donation campaign, and one active survey.

Getting started

1. Visit https://memberly.au/ in a web browser.
2. Start with the Free plan or review the paid plan options.
3. Use the platform for membership records, online joining, events, and member communications.
4. Connect accounting or import systems using the available integrations and API options.

Verdict

Choose Memberly if your organisation wants membership, event, payment, and fundraising administration in one web platform, with a free starting plan and API access across plans. Look elsewhere if a phone app is essential or if you need MYOB AccountRight synchronisation in both directions.
