Gifting a membership

I know this topic has been visited before. I want to gift a membership for a year… and possibly longer… to my brother. However, his address and the billing info on my address are different. I think this is creating an issue at checkout. Am I doing something wrong in filling out the form? It seems the form takes his address as the billing info address. Is there a way to address this? ( ADDRESS… see what I did there?)

Drop it in cash in the finance box?

You bring up a salient point. Why don’t we have gift certificates :thinking:

Should the bills be unmarked? (Feel a bit iffy on dropping $648 in a box marked “Finance”… Or “Bribes” or “Cash”)

Ditto! Are we able to give them to nonmembers too?

The Gift Card module in WHMCS is having problems.

There are several options for gifting a membership. The simplest is to add yourself as a “Contact” to your brothers account and setup the new contact as the bill payer. Then put your CC info into the account.

If you need help with that, I can help you if you come by some afternoon or evening.

Another alternative is to get a VISA gift card that can be reloaded via the internet and put that on the account.

Thank you for the advice… I have gone through the “Join” in the website…the sign up process…“Order now”… “Yearly Membership”…“Order Now”… “Checkout” … but no where do I see a contact option. Should I have?

Or a check (made out to DallasMakerspace) with a memo line entry and an attached letter for clarification if needed.

A check is much preferred over cash.

OK… got it. Thanks

I deposited a check… how do I verify that the account is active?

The bookkeeper will be in for a while tomorrow morning. I’ll get her to process the check and I’ll add it to your brothers account.

Thank you Stan!

Dan should have an email by now showing the account paid for the year.

If he already has a RFID keyfob, he can activate it from MakerManager, or he can come in and get one to activate here.
