Memberships due for renewal at the same time every year
Cameo now supports membership types which all expire on the same day each year. Someone who joins part way through the year only gets a partial year’s membership. You can also arrange that they get an extended rather than limited membership if they join close to the renewal date. Read More…
Custom fields in the join form
You can now collect custom fields in the membership record using the join form. This uses the same method for adding additional fields as other forms (like questions or bookings).
To better match the types allowed for additional fields in forms with custom fields in membership records, the former now also offers (all of them both optional and mandatory):
* year
* whole number
* currency amount.
You can use these types anywhere additional form fields are offered, not just in the join form. Read More…
Gift vouchers
Cameo supports unique voucher codes which customers can use as a payment method in any form which takes payments. For example, for
* gift memberships,
* concert bookings, or
* merchandise.
They work like mobile phone top-up cards.
For example, this means someone can purchase a voucher and give it to someone else as a gift membership, without the data protection problems of the original purchaser needing to provide a third party’s details. Or they can gift a ticket voucher without needing to decide which particular concert for the recipient. Read More…
Additional interim transaction details
Interim transactions now include payment method name and payee account details (such as the last four digits of the credit card number they used)in the transaction description. When an interim transaction is reconciled with a real transaction (whether manually or automatically), its description is now appended to that of the real transaction, so this information is not lost. Read More…
