Hi @Markvoucher , this is a great use case for digital memberships. I’ve worked on a similar type of system while developing digital membership cards using Membership Anywhere. The main idea is to connect the subscription platform with the membership database so the card status and expiration date update automatically based on the payment status.
In your case, since you are using Squarespace for recurring billing, you can use Zapier as a middleware to automate the workflow. For example:
• When a new membership subscription is created in Squarespace → Zapier can trigger an action to create a digital membership card in Membership Anywhere.
• When the subscription renews → Zapier can update the expiration date of the membership card automatically.
• If the subscription is canceled or payment fails → Zapier can change the membership status to inactive or expired.
Another option is using webhooks or API integration if both platforms support it. That can make the automation faster and more reliable than periodic syncing.
For museums and cultural organizations, this kind of setup works well because it reduces manual administration and ensures that access control (QR / barcode scanning) always reflects the current membership status.
It would also be useful to keep a small buffer period (for example 1–3 days) after renewal attempts before disabling the card, just in case of payment retries.
Hope this helps, and I’d be interested to hear how your implementation progresses.
