mskelly Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm trying to update the website for the local HS support group. Right now, our calendar and membership database is on Yahoo. I'd like to try something different though. Being able to pay for membership and field trips online would be a HUGE benefit for us. Are there any sites that would help me do this?

Mrs Mungo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Have you thought about a for-pay site? Our scout troop uses https://www.service-life.com/. You can do sign-ups, use paypal, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskelly Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Yes, I'm looking into that also. Do members typically accept the Paypal fees and the fee for the website? I'm afraid there would be some loud grumbles that such a big portion of the dues is going to a website, but I'm one who loves forums and the ease of current websites (obviously since I spend so much time here!).

Tohru Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) meetup.com, however there is a charge, but there is a calendar, payments option for dues, payment options for field trips/meetups, RSVP tools, and a message board. It's pretty cool. ETA: If your group already has a website, you can add a forum to your website and a shopping cart too. If they don't, could you create a website and add those things to it? Just a thought. Edited July 7, 2012 by jadedone80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Our local homeschool group uses Meetup as well. We haven't used it to pay for trips, though. It seems to work well and makes it easy for new families to find out about us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily in FL Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Our group switched to Google Groups a couple of years ago. We use Google Calendar and Google docs to communicate with each other as well. We really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskelly Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 How would I add a forum and Paypal to our existing website or a new website for that matter? Would it be like a blog with a link to Paypal? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
