asVereinbase – Club & Member Management for WP

Club management directly inside WordPress

asVereinbase turns your WordPress website into a practical club and member management system.

Instead of maintaining your website in WordPress and your member data in a separate system, asVerein lets you manage both in one place.

Manage members, organize membership fees, accept online membership applications, publish club calendars and provide a protected member area – directly from your existing WordPress installation.

Your club’s member data stays within your own WordPress environment instead of being stored in a separate external club management platform.

What can you do with asVereinbase?

Member Management

Keep your club’s member data organized directly in WordPress.

• Create and manage members.

• Keep member administration connected to your club website.

Membership Applications

Allow prospective members to apply directly through your WordPress website.

• Reduce manual data entry and paperwork.

Membership Fees

Club Calendar – New in Version 1.2

Organize club events, activities and important dates directly in WordPress.

• Create and manage calendar entries in your WordPress installation.
• Display club calendars on your website’s frontend.
• Choose from different frontend calendar views.
• Help visitors and members keep track of upcoming club activities and dates.

The integrated calendar module connects your club’s schedule with its WordPress website, without requiring a separate calendar platform.

Protected Member Area

Create a private area for your club members.

Members can log in to your WordPress website and access content intended specifically for them. Your public club website and internal member area can work together in the same WordPress installation.

Why asVerein?

Many clubs use several different tools:

• WordPress for the website.
• Spreadsheets for member lists.
• Separate software for membership administration.
• Other tools for calendars and club events.
• Email and additional services for club organization.

asVerein is designed to bring club administration, member information and club calendars closer to your WordPress website.

One WordPress installation. One member database. One place to manage your club.

Built for clubs already using WordPress

If your club already has a WordPress website, you don’t necessarily need another completely separate platform to manage members and publish club events.

asVerein integrates club administration directly into WordPress. Your club can continue using the WordPress installation it already knows while adding dedicated functionality for member management and calendars.

Privacy and data ownership

Member data can be sensitive.

asVerein is designed so that your member administration remains part of your own WordPress installation. This gives your organization more control over where member data is stored and how its WordPress environment is operated.

Actual privacy and data protection compliance also depends on your hosting, WordPress configuration, installed plugins and how your organization processes personal data. Certain functions use third-party services, as described below.
