Gift Membership Features
Account Creation
When purchasing a gift membership, no user account is required or created for the gift giver. This ensures a seamless and straightforward purchasing process, eliminating the need for the giver to manage or remember account details.
Custom Message
Gift givers have the option to personalize the membership by including a brief custom message. This message is shared with the recipient and adds a thoughtful, personal touch to the gift, enhancing the overall experience.
Confirmation Emails
The Gift givers receive a confirmation email after the purchase is complete and the gift recipients receive a membership confirmation email which includes confirmation of their new membership along with the personalized message from the giver.

To simplify the recipient's experience, the gift membership is set up without the need for a password. This eliminates the hassle of creating and managing login credentials, making it easier for the recipient to enjoy their membership right away.
Unique Gift Purchase Links for Organizations
For organizations, we’ve enabled a way for you to link directly to specific Membership Type for folks to purchase a ‘Gift Membership’.
This streamlines the process by enabling organizations to link directly to a specific membership type through a URL. You can use this link on your website alongside a call-to-action, such as "Gift an Annual Gold Membership" (where "Annual Gold Membership" represents the name of your membership type).
