A Volunteer's review of their Wild Apricot Experience for the OPA

Generally I think our group likes the platform. It brought us out of the dark ages, and I don't know what the heck we would be doing if we didn't sign up for it.

I am not a web-designer, but I was the volunteer web-master for OPA just before we switched to WA. I had used Wordpress to build our website, and it was too much work (for a volunteer mom of two little babies at the time, who is not a web designer so is learning a lot as she goes.)

Pros

For our organization, Oregon Potters Association, it has helped to solve a number of our problems. For example, not only do we use the platform to get membership dues, we rely heavily on the directory, and well as having a place to get our members to register for upcoming workshops and sales. It really is great!

We are about to connect Quickbooks to our website, which we really think will help us. We have a big pottery show once a year where sometimes 200 + members sign up to participate, it is always complicated on our end- because they pay a down payment to reserve a booth (like $50), and then we need to collect the remainder of the booth fee (like $300) when it gets close to the show ( about 8% cancel so they don't have to pay the remaining fee but we keep the registration fee)- I spent last year adding invoices manually to each participant, because I don't think WA has a way to do split-payments and it was a bloody nightmare! - but Quickbooks integration will surely help us this year, right!?!?! Please tell me it will 🤣

Cons

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do newsletters for non OPA members. It seems that a non-member could sign up for a newsletter, and then their email is in our system, but it kind of gets muddy when we want to only send a newsletter out for our members (member only events, get togethers at peoples houses, etc. ) and public events (come to our big pottery show). I also get confused then, when I see all of the numbers in the system - who is a member and who do we just have their email. We sometimes write grants and we like to share our reach for certain events we do - it would just be nice if it was clearer to separate the members/non members in our system. Maybe there is, and I just haven't quite figured it out.

a once great membership platform that fails to deliver today

Horrible. We have not been able to launch, and despite WildApricot acknowledging the conflicting responses from support reps, they will not schedule a call with a support manager to resolve this.

Pros

The promises we were told that we could use our existing wordpress website with WA handling events, gating content, etc.

Cons

That the onboarding and support reps do not having training on how to set up WA with an existing wordpress website. We've wasted 2+ months with email and chat loops without answers and with support reps that provide conflicting information

Use WA to Run the Whole Club

Love it. After a few years of managing the system, it has become a powerful tool for our club.

Pros

Our whole ski club is run using Wild Apricot. It's a very comprehensive system to broadcast events, track registrants and collect payments. As director I found it extremely helpful to oversee event status, and track sales as they occur.

Cons

Admin access needs to be more granular. Giving someone admin access exposes major parts of the system. Our need is to limit admin access to a specific event or event grouping. Considerable computer experience is necessary to manage the system and our volunteers don't all have the same level required. This puts the system at risk of unintended damage.

Great Platform for Member-Based Organization

Our overall experience with WildApricot has been very positive. The platform functions extremely well and handles a very large volume of transactions without difficulty. WildApricot is expensive but delivers excellent value.

Pros

WildApricot provides an excellent platform for the website for our arts and crafts guild. The website development tools are powerful and easy to use and customize. The platform allowed us to build our website ourselves without incurring costs for an outside web developer.

Our organization is membership-based, requiring that all participants in our events and activities be current paid-up members. The Wild Apricot platform ensures that this criteria is met at all times.

Great membership and event management features include customizable membership and registration forms, a helpful mobile app for administrators, easy payment processing, and effective search and reporting tools.

Cons

The main limitation of WildApricot for our organization is the inability for a individual to hold more than one category of membership at a time.
