What does FullRoster do?
One record for every person
Every member's dues, events, emails, course credits and payments sit on one timeline your whole team can see. People who register for an event or donate become contacts automatically, and contacts never count toward your price.
- A timeline of everything each person has done
- Unlimited custom fields that become filters and columns
- Saved views like Lapsed or Prospects, ready to email
Ask anything about your members
Type a question the way you would ask a colleague, like which lapsed members came to three or more events, and get the answer from your own data as a list you can act on.
- Ask from any screen, in plain English
- Save any answer as a report you can run again next month
- Board reports and a dashboard built in from day one
Newsletters drafted for you
Describe what's happening and FullRoster drafts the newsletter in your voice, with your upcoming events and a Register button. Send it to any level, section or group, from your own domain.
- A block editor that works in every inbox, no HTML needed
- Welcome, renewal and win-back series ready to go
- Opens and clicks logged on each person’s record
Renewals that run themselves
Members who pay by card renew automatically, with reminders before each renewal, retries for failed cards and a grace period before anyone lapses.
- Members choose auto-renew, an invoice, or not renewing
- Sections and extras on one invoice, prorated mid-year
- Applications approved before anyone is charged
QuickBooks entries that match your bank
Each payout that lands in your bank becomes one QuickBooks Online entry that explains that exact deposit, split by dues, events, donations and education, fees included.
- Matches the bank deposit to the penny
- Account mapping set up once, with suggested defaults
- Optional QuickBooks classes for year-end reporting
Events with member pricing and phone check-in
Members see their price when they sign in, with no promo codes to type. Check people in by scanning the QR code in their confirmation, and CE credits post at check-in.
- An event page drafted from one sentence
- Cancellations and refunds handled for you
- Confirmation, reminder and thank-you emails by default
Courses and CE credits
Sell courses built from the YouTube, Vimeo or Zoom recordings you already have, add a quiz with a pass mark, and issue credits and certificates automatically.
- Credits from events and courses on every record
- A PDF certificate for every credit
- Member and non-member prices
A portal members sign into without a password
Members renew, register, take courses and find documents in one portal on your own domain, signing in with a one-time link or with Google.
- Members manage their own membership and card
- Registrations with tickets and QR codes
- Members-only resources by section or for the board
And when you need something different, we build it in.
Chapters with their own dues, a credential registry, a conference with tracks, a link to another system. Our team builds it into your FullRoster at a fixed price and maintains it, so you never outgrow the product. How custom features work →

When might ClubExpress be the better pick?
If you'd rather go with a product that clubs have used for many years, ClubExpress has a long track record. FullRoster is newer. In exchange, it's free for up to 1,000 active members, with CE credits, courses and QuickBooks sync included rather than sold as modules.
How do you switch from ClubExpress to FullRoster?
We do the moving, at no cost, and a typical move takes a few weeks from your export to launch.
- Export from ClubExpress. Download your members, families and memberships as spreadsheets and send them to us.
- We bring it over. We set up your levels and bring over your members, families, company memberships, lapsed members and renewal dates.
- You check it. Nothing goes live until you've looked through it and said it's right.
- You launch. Tell members about the change in your own words, with an announcement you preview and edit first.
Plan the move around your ClubExpress renewal date, so you aren't paying for both. More detail is in Switching to FullRoster.
