Club Management
 
While Group Sales functionality is included with E-Commerce module, Club Management application requires the purchase of a separate module. Club Management extends the basic Group Sales functionality of allowing group members to log-in and purchase products specific to their group by adding functionality to allow group leaders to log-in and access various management functions such as reviewing purchases made by the group, posting announcements for group members and even creating a new group.
Being part of a group or club literally means that the guest has access to the appropriate log-in and password necessary to gain access to the group-specific products or the additional management functions. All completed web sales done while logged into the group or club are recorded within the account configured for the group in SysManager. Groups may charge their purchases to the account or they can be forced to pay for their purchases in full with a valid credit card, based on the account’s configuration.
