The tool you’re looking for is Join It, a membership management platform that supports both automatic renewals and digital membership cards.
Join It — Membership Management
- Auto-renewals: Recurring membership payments, renewal reminders, and failed-payment notifications.
- Digital membership cards: Branded cards for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
- Member management: Centralized records, payment tracking, and a self-service member portal.
- Check-in: Scannable QR codes to verify membership status.
Digital cards are included with the Total plan and above.
Other options worth considering:
- Membership Booth — membership renewals, dues, and digital cards for clubs and attractions.
- Communal — automated renewals, membership cards, and member portals for community organizations.
My recommendation: Start with Join It if you want one system to manage memberships, automate recurring payments, and issue digital cards.

Several dedicated membership management platforms handle both recurring auto-renewals (via saved credit cards/Stripe) and wallet-ready digital membership cards (Apple Wallet and Google Wallet).
Top tools supporting both features natively:
- Join It : A popular, streamlined membership management platform built explicitly for this combination. It automates multi-step renewal reminder sequences and recurring card charges, while automatically issuing and updating Apple/Google Wallet digital cards that change in real-time when a member renews or upgrades.
- Member Jungle : An all-in-one club and association platform that supports automated recurring subscription billing and rolling membership renewals. It instantly generates digital membership cards that sync directly to the member portal, email attachments, and their dedicated mobile app.
- Neon One : Tailored heavily for nonprofits, cultural institutions, and associations. It combines robust CRM and automated renewal features with integrated digital membership cards that can match specific tiers and display barcode/QR verification.
- Hivebrite : A feature-rich, highly customizable community and association management platform that supports automated membership lifecycles, recurring billing, and mobile-friendly member cards.
To help narrow down the ideal platform, tell me:
- What type of organization do you run (e.g., nonprofit, gym, museum, professional association)?
- Approximately how many members do you manage?
