We offer discounts and comps to sponsors and partners by giving them a code they can use at checkout and I was disappointed to learn Wild Apricot does not offer this basic feature. We use it for promotions too. For example, we might send an email to past attendees giving them a code for 10% off the appropriate rate (member or non-member). The only way to do it in Wild Apricot would be to create a registration type for each promo (showcasing it to everyone) or adjust each invoice manually which would be hundreds. Similar platforms such as Eventbrite and Cvent offer this feature as it is critical to event promotion and management. It is simple to set up in the back end and I'm concerned such a basic, necessary feature is available for the price we pay.

I noticed if I cancel a registration for a attendee and they have actually paid money that needs to be refunded, your system automatically deletes the payment record instead of leaving it there to be refunded in Wild Apricot. this is a major problem, that a transaction record is removed from the system. I do see that the existance of that payment record is in the auto trail, but having your software automatically delete that record is a major accounting flaw you should look into. You should simply level the payment record and allow the actual refund to be documented. Please see if you can fix this. Thank you.

The member photo albums are such a great feature and the improvements you made in 7.14 are welcomed. But, there are a number of issues on using these effectively. We are a league of artists and are using the website to showcase our artists and also to sell their art in our shop. You can see our website at https://northshoreartistsleague.org. We have come up with some ways to utilize the functionality that is available but are pushing the limits of the software and website to do this and have a number of places where it is a significant amount of admin work to set things up as we are doing. Regarding the member albums particularly, here are my high level comments.

First, is that the albums themselves are not located within the website file system and so unavailable to admin access for any purpose.

Second, there is no system page available for us to customize how the member photo albums will display.

Third, there is no gadget available that would allow us to use content from member photo albums on our site in ways that would help us support our mission of promoting our artists and also allowing them to sell their art either on our shop or also by showing a portfolio from their member albums and giving a link, included in our member fields, to their website if they have selling capabilities already.

These 3 things are the underlying problems. I would be happy to describe some of the things we would like to be able to do if you want some use cases.

Some of the other suggestions about the member pages and member photo albums provide use cases that I would also buy into but in this suggestion, I wanted to hit the deficiencies we are experiencing more generically at the level of what system functions we would like to see modified or added.

Our organization is a professional photography group. We have been using Wild Apricot now for several years and I know a lot of other photography groups are using Wild Apricot also. In a meeting a few months ago I heard that Wild Apricot was working on an update that we have been intetested in for a long time. We have a degree program that members earn merits or credits towards their degree by attending meeting, performing service, etc. We would love to have a relational database feature that members could access their merits and merits for attendance could be automatically entered by Wild Apricot. If that something being worked on currectly and if it's in beta how we do get on the beta program. I was a database administrator previously and have though about building something myself but if it's something that could be built into Wild Apricot that would be so much better.
