New Payment Option for Membership

New or renewing members can now utilize Stripe to make their membership payment. This method is superior to our existing PayPal gateway as it allows for auto-renewal each year. Rather than receiving ALA’s reminder email and needing to re-submit the membership form and payment, those who pay with Stripe will have their membership auto-renewed (you will receive a reminder from Stripe prior in case you wish to cancel).

Stripe allows you to pay with Credit Card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Link. It is a secure and encrypted payment method that is used by most of the world’s top companies (replacing PayPal).

The option to pay your membership via PayPal will be phased out at the end of 2024. E-Transfer and Cheque will continue to be options available for remitting payment to ALA.
