FAQ'S
DeckCMS FAQ
Everything you need to know before bringing DeckCMS to your chamber.
Can I try DeckCMS before committing?
Absolutely. We will set up a free guided tour with sample chamber data so you can explore ambassador tracking, integrations, and revenue reporting before you migrate anything.
Will it work with the tools we already use?
Chances are, yes. DeckCMS integrates natively with Constant Contact, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, and Stripe — and connects to thousands of other apps through Zapier.
How long does migration take?
Most chambers are fully migrated in 2–4 weeks. Our team handles the heavy lifting of importing your member records and rebuilding your workflows.
Is it built for non-dues revenue?
Yes. Donation campaigns, a members-only job board, and category-level revenue reporting are all built in — because modern chambers cannot rely on dues alone.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes. Ambassadors can log touchpoints from the field and members can access their benefits, directory, and digital membership card from anywhere.
How much does DeckCMS cost?
Pricing scales with your membership size, starting at $150/mo. Visit our Pricing page or request a demo for a quote tailored to your chamber.
Does DeckCMS replace my chamber's existing website?
We can work with your existing website, or if you need a new one, our relationship with Spark Bridge Solutions gives you access to a fully custom design.
Do members get redirected to a third-party portal?
No. DeckCMS keeps the directory and calendar on the chamber’s own domain. ChamberMaster, GrowthZone, ChamberDesk, Chamber Nation, and Membee all redirect members offsite to a separate portal.
Does DeckCMS support QR code check-in for events?
Yes. DeckCMS offers QR code check-in along with volunteer check-in support and PDF rosters. Most competitors listed here offer mobile-only or basic check-in options, and Membee does not offer QR check-in at all.
Is chamber data locked into DeckCMS?
No. DeckCMS provides full API access to a chamber’s own data. ChamberMaster offers no data access, GrowthZone’s access is limited, and ChamberDesk, Chamber Nation, and Membee do not offer data access at all.
Is texting/SMS compliance handled automatically?
Yes. DeckCMS has texting compliance built in, so chambers don’t need to manage it themselves. ChamberMaster, GrowthZone, and Chamber Nation require self-managed compliance, while ChamberDesk and Membee don’t offer SMS features at all.
Does each chamber get its own dedicated instance?
Yes. DeckCMS gives every chamber its own dedicated space rather than a shared system. Membee does not offer per-chamber instances, and the other competitors listed use a single shared instance model.
Can we display upcoming events on a TV or digital signage in our lobby?
Yes! DeckCMS integrates with your event calendar to make it easy to display upcoming events on a lobby TV or other digital signage. Events sync automatically, so your display always shows the latest information without any manual updates.
