MidsouthMakers Member Management System

The MidsouthMakers Member Management System is a web-based platform for managing makerspace membership, physical access control, finances, and community engagement.

RFID Access Control

• Members are issued RFID keys and PINs for physical access to the makerspace
• Multiple access points (doors, keypads) can be individually managed
• Per-device member authorization — admins approve which members can access specific devices
• All access attempts (successful and failed) are logged with timestamps
• Members can self-link their RFID key to their online account

Membership Management

• Online membership application with Discord notification to the board
• Configurable membership types with custom pricing
• Family membership support with primary/dependent grouping
• Member activation, deactivation, and admin designation
• Searchable member directory and photo gallery (via Gravatar)

Financial Tracking

• PayPal integration for automatic invoice and transaction retrieval
• Manual CSV upload for PayPal transaction reports
• Automatic matching of payments to member accounts
• Expected dues calculation with family-dependent exclusion
• Missing payment detection — flags active members without recent payments
• Inactive paid member detection — flags paying members who are no longer active
• Monthly revenue overview and financial reporting

Digital Waivers

• Online liability waiver with digital signature capture
• Support for individual and dependent/guardian waivers
• Automatic PDF generation and email delivery
