What GatherAMS is
GatherAMS is membership management software for clubs, chambers, trade associations, and self-managed homeowner associations. It can turn spreadsheets into a member portal with a central database, custom fields, directories, and role-based access. Membership tools automate scheduled invoices, renewal reminders, and recurring payments through an organization’s own processor. Event features include online registration, tiered tickets, waitlists, and on-site or QR check-in. Communications provide mass email campaigns with open and click analytics, discussion forums, and an AI chatbot. A public REST API, webhooks, and named financial integrations are listed. GatherAMS states that supported processors such as Stripe, PayPal, or a bank carry 0% markup.
