Digital membership cards

Digital membership cards in every member’s wallet.

People forget their wallet, but they never forget their phone. Every member gets a branded digital membership card with a secure QR code, ready to add to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. It sits one swipe away on the lock screen, survives the app being closed, and proves live membership the moment it is scanned. No more lost plastic cards or out-of-date paper lists.

What you can do

The full feature surface

Add to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet

Members tap once to save their card to the phone wallet they already use. It shows on the lock screen and stays current even if they never open the app, so the card always works at the door.

Scan members in at the bar or the door

Staff scan the QR code with the Comnly app and instantly see the member’s name and photo with a clear admitted or not-admitted result. The check happens live against your membership list, so a lapsed member is caught on the spot.

Sharing is designed out

The barcode is backed by a rotating token, not a fixed number. If a member loses their phone or a screenshot leaks, they reissue the card in a tap and the old one stops working everywhere, including any saved wallet pass.

Every scan builds attendance insight

Each card scan is recorded, so committees get a real picture of who is in the club and when, your busiest days and times, and your most regular faces. It is the closest thing to true footfall data, stronger than an RSVP.

Privacy kept tight

A card scan only reveals the member’s name, photo, and membership status to authorised staff. It never exposes email, date of birth, or any directory detail, and per-member attendance is only visible to admins with the right permission.

Branded to your club

Cards carry your club’s name and logo, so the card a member shows at the bar feels like an official membership credential rather than a generic app screen.

How it works

From idea to delivered in minutes

STEP 01

Member joins

As soon as a member is approved, their digital membership card is issued automatically inside the Comnly app. There is nothing for the committee to print or post.

STEP 02

Add to wallet

The member taps Add to Apple Wallet or Add to Google Wallet, and the card lives alongside their boarding passes and bank cards on the lock screen.

STEP 03

Scan at the club

Staff scan the QR code to verify live membership in seconds, and every scan quietly feeds your attendance picture.

FAQ

Common questions

How do we issue digital cards to our existing club members?

Share your club join link or QR sign-up poster, review membership requests, then help approved adult members download the app and sign in. Start with a small group and test a live membership check before rolling out to everyone. Existing membership records and access decisions should be checked by the committee.

Can we try a card design before setting up the club?

Yes. The free digital membership card maker lets you preview your branding and download an image for the committee. It is a design preview only: its QR opens the tool and cannot validate membership.

Is the digital membership card included in the standard plan?

Yes. Digital membership cards, including Apple Wallet and Google Wallet export, are part of the standard Comnly subscription for every club.

What happens if a member loses their phone?

They reissue their card in a tap from the app. The old QR code stops verifying immediately, and any copy already saved to a wallet is updated automatically, so a lost or screenshotted card cannot be reused.

Do members have to add the card to a wallet?

No. The card always lives inside the Comnly app and is reachable in one tap from the feed. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are an optional convenience for members who want it on their lock screen.

Can staff see members’ personal details when they scan a card?

No. A scan shows only the member’s name, photo, and whether their membership is live. It never reveals email, date of birth, or any other directory information, which keeps door and bar staff within strict privacy limits.

Do we need special hardware to scan cards?

No. Any phone running the Comnly app can scan a member’s card using its camera. There is no separate reader or terminal to buy.
