Adding or Creating a Club Membership

You have two options depending on the number of Memberships you need to add. 

In this article:

Using the API? 

Club Memberships require a credit card on file.

Before adding Memberships, it is necessary to complete the step of adding your payment gateway details. This is crucial because if you add Memberships before adding your payment gateway details, the credit cards associated with the Memberships will not be recognized when charging a card on file

Fullsteam Payments: If the payment for the POS Order is processed through Fullsteam payments, the credit card will be saved on the Club Membership.

Adding Members via APIs

If you have a large number of Club Members that you need to add, using our APIs can make the process much quicker and easier. As long as you can export your Membership records from your previous ecommerce partner or current location, you can easily import them into Commerce7 using our APIs. This allows for a seamless transition and ensures that all your Club Memberships are accurately transferred.

If you are performing this task on your own, here is our API documentation for reference: https://api-docs.commerce7.com/docs.

If you run into questions while importing via the APIs, email support@commerce7.com


Not a Developer? No problem!

If you are not a Developer, and are not comfortable using our APIs, we recommend you contact one of our talented Data Migration Specialists to help!

IMPORTANT: If you have not activated your Payment Gateway - or transferred your credit card information yet, please reach out to support@commerce7.com for help. These two items must be complete prior to importing the Memberships. 

Note: During the migration process, only the credit cards that are linked to Club Memberships will be uploaded. This means that each Customer will have only one card associated with their Membership.
