QR / Barcodes on the Membership Card
I've just had a look at the membership cards facility. Great development. But I currently print membership badges with the UserID formatted as a barcode (code39). Members are scanned in to meetings with a barcode zapper (the number goes straight into a spreadsheet). Saves the queue at the door.
So I need the card editor to allow a barcode font - what's the chance?

Ability to Scan either QR Code on membership card or generated from Events - to be scanned on arrival would be amazing

Our organization, SCCTM, would also love to have the ability to have QR bar codes added to membership cards/badges in order to scan attendees quickly into meetings and conferences. I hope that this is on the "wish list" for Wild Apricot.

It would be great if you had a bar coded/app member card so that we could collect data on our member's habits. We are a social club with a pub. It would be helpful to know how uses the facility and when so we and judge how successful our free events are so that we could improve member services. We have some older members for whom an app only option is not feasible, so we would still need a hard copy card. Thanks!

Our membership has the same need for our beach community to wand a bar-code/QRCode for the parking lot. thanks, I love the cards!

Similarly, having the ability to put bar codes on event registrations so we can scan at the door easily would be great, too

Definitely agree, a QR Code or Code 39 Barcode would be extremely helpful at events where validating membership occurs.

Andrew - I missed your comment, before entering one similar to yours. Yes, I'd love to see the ability to store a bar code in the records so that it can be printed on reports and the member IDs. This would enable us to scan the IDs not only at our events, but at other events that we support, and could keep track of which of our members are in attendance. Lots of uses! Regards, Barbara B.

While I"m sure your development list is long, I'd appreciate it if you'd consider adding the creation of a bar code, able to be saved as a permanent item in the data record (probably after prompting for a short list of what is stored in the code, such as member name, member ID number, member status or renewal date), to be used in reports and on the member ID cards. Since I recently did a review of multiple AMS products, and none of them had this capability, it certainly would give Wild Apricot a feature of interest for those clients that hold conferences/meetings or any event where having scannable IDs would be a major benefit. Thanks for considering this.

Andrew, thanks for sharing. Glad that you liked it.
Right now, we are analyzing ability to include QR codes on the Membership card. I'm sure that these are very similar requests.
Now I can not provide you with any specific release date. But we will definitely share updates.Katya, Astra crew
