Hey Everyone!
I am evaluating our current Gift Membership process to see if there is a way to make it better. I would love to hear how your museum, zoo or aquarium does gift memberships. Right now we use Contrib-2 on TNEW for gift memberships, the money goes to on-account and the recipients information is collected via the form that creates a CSI. On the backend we apply the on-account money in contribution entry to assign the membership to the recipient. Does anyone do a different process? I would love to hear about it!
Thanks!

Late to the conversation but I wanted to note that you can also use the Gift Certificate payment setup for Gift Memberships. We've renamed it as Gift Memberships and sell them via web and in person. We track whose purchased it and whose redeemed it via the Gift Certificate number. You can in theory purchase tickets with it but that's not been an issue.
That is very true! We played with this idea but we moved against it since it would be too complicated for our finance department. However, it is a great idea. I wish we could restrict gift certificates to certain things, that would make life incredibly easy!
