We are looking to print membership cards in real-time as members sign up upon entry. We have traditionally used a mail house for the majority of our printing and have done traditional RE:Mail Membership card export and then a card software where we had to import the exported file and go through a number...

We're exploring rapid entry systems for our Museum lobby. We've been testing with VISTA by TicketMaster. However, the default barcode on RE membership cards is not the actual member ID number. In order for VISTA to work, membership card scanning must include the member ID in the barcode to pull...
