Dues Collection for 2026-2027

If you are starting to set up dues for 2026-2027, please review the Dues Management Step by Step guide.  


We encourage you to schedule time with one of our support team members to review your dues setup before you make collection available to your members. Click here to book a meeting.  If that’s not feasible, please let us know if you would like us to review your setup before you go live by sending an email to MemberEssentials@ajli.org.

New Features

Dues Pay Link Override - Coming in mid-January, Dues Management will allow you to override the Pay link displayed under Dues Requirements on the member home page.  This enables you to require a member to complete a form before paying dues.  The form can be a member compact, membership expectation agreement, or any form built in the ME form tool. When the member clicks on Pay, she will be taken to the form.  After submitting the form, the member is taken to the dues payment page.  We will send out a help article when the feature is ready. 


Updated Dues Screens - Also coming in January, dues payment screens and profile fragments will be updated to better support payment plans and recurring payments.  Members will also be able to download a list of their financial transactions directly from their profile. 


We have more features in the works for the second half of the League year. Be sure to check the Member Essentials Plus Roadmap for updates. See Member Essentials Plus Development Roadmap


Happy Holidays!
