Meet 8am™ AffiniPay

A person creates a custom payment page for their organization

We built 8am AffiniPay with one goal: to give associations, nonprofits, and member-based organizations a better way to manage payments.

We heard the same challenges again and again: billing was too complicated, systems didn’t connect, and security felt like an afterthought. So we set out to build a better option: payment software tailored for how modern associations actually operate.

Whether you're processing dues, event registrations, or donations, AffiniPay offers payment solutions that work the way you do.

AffiniPay is part of 8am, a trusted business platform, built to support professionals like you, so you can focus on your clients and do more of the work that matters.

Security you don’t have to second-guess

From dues to donations, AffiniPay safeguards every transaction with enterprise-grade security, so your team can stay focused on impact, not infrastructure.
