Set up your club
Starting the club, what Club settings holds, sharing the join link and QR code, and choosing how people can join.
Starting a club takes a name. Everything else, from levels to the terms on the join page, lives in Club settings and can wait until you need it. Only admins and the owner can start or change the club.
Start the club
Name it
Open Customers › Club. Under What do you call it?, type the club's name, such as Ridgeline Mug Club.
Open it
Click Start the club. You can add members by hand straight away.
Add a level
The join link and the register sign people up into a level, so add one before you share the link. A free level is fine, and for most clubs it's the whole club. See Levels and dues.
Add your first perk
A birthday pint is the usual first one. See Perks.
Club settings
Open ⋯ at the top of the Club tab and choose Club settings.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | The club's name, everywhere members see it. |
| What members get | A sentence or two shown on the join page. |
| Member cap | The most members the club takes. Leave it blank for no limit. |
| How people join | Which ways in are open. See below. |
| Membership levels | Free and paid levels. See Levels and dues. |
| Terms | Printed on the join page: age, what discounts cover, anything your state requires. |
Click Save changes. Levels you add or edit here save on their own, with their own Add or Save.
The cap counts active and lapsed members. Lowering it never removes anyone who already joined; it only stops new sign-ups until the club is under it again.
The join link never changes
The link is made from the club's name when you start it. Renaming the club later keeps the old link, so a QR code you've already printed keeps working.
Share the join link
The Overview has a Join link card with the link and a QR code for it. Copy link copies the link. Put the code on a table tent or a coaster, or send the link to anyone you'd like to sign up.
Whoever opens it sees your club's name, what members get, the levels they can pick and your terms, and signs up with a name and an email or phone number. They get their member number on the spot. See What members see.
Choose how people join
How people join, in Club settings, has a switch for each way in:
| Switch | Lets |
|---|---|
| The join link | Anyone with the link or the QR code sign themselves up. |
| The register | A bartender sign someone up from Square, with no one opening PintDeck. See Square at the register. |
They all start on. The line above the switches says what your choice means in words, such as Anyone can join from the link. Staff can sign someone up at the register.
You can always add someone yourself from Add member, whatever these say. With the join link off, a sign-up from the join page is turned away and told to ask at the bar.
Each level can also open or close a way in on its own, such as a cellar level you only sign people up for in person. See Levels and dues.
