Give your members their own 10-digit membership number, different from the “User ID” they automatically get when signing up on your site. This approach is particularly beneficial for associations, clubs, fitness websites, and more.
Having a unique membership number is great for keeping things private and secure, since it separates a member’s public identity from the behind-the-scenes database stuff. Plus, it makes managing memberships a breeze when you need to link up with other systems for things like in-person membership validation, event sign-ups, and special member perks.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up these unique numbers when members register. Then, we’ll cover various ways you can display the member’s number in different parts of your site’s frontend and admin area.
