A list in a PDF does not renew memberships.
Most chamber directories are a page of names updated once a year. A member business directory with real pages, reviews and numbers gives members a reason to stay and to pay for more.
A member directory, from both sides.

Every member listed the day you launch.
Export your member list from your spreadsheet or membership system as a CSV and import it as business pages. Then email members to claim their page: a code goes to an email at their own website's domain, and claims you need to check wait in a queue with a record of who decided and when.
- Directory fields: address, phone, website, hours, services with prices and social links.
- Up to 20 branches for members with several locations.
- A "Claim your business" section for the home page.
Basic, featured and sponsor levels.
On Professional you can create your own account types, such as Member and Non-member, each with its own rights and an approval step, so only approved members can post. Memberships add paid plans with a length in days, so a yearly tier is a 365-day plan. On every plan you can sell featured listings, sponsored places in a category and banner space.
- Verified business badge for members whose documents you have checked.
- Payments to the chamber's own Stripe or PayPal account.
Memberships are paid plans on the site; Yclas does not send dues invoices or keep a member CRM.
Mixers, breakfasts and ribbon cuttings in one calendar.
An event is a listing with a date, an end date and a venue. Make it repeat every week, month or year, and it moves on to its next date by itself. Visitors see upcoming events, a calendar page and an Add to calendar button.
- Members can post their own events if you let them.
- Past events drop out of search on their own.
Shown: the hours block on a member page. Events use the same listing pages with a date and venue.
Show members what the directory brought them.
Switch on listing performance and each member sees views, calls, website visits, directions, messages and the searches that found them. On the 1st of each month, members with activity get an email with last month's numbers. That email is a good reason to renew.
- Reviews members can reply to, and invite customers to leave.
- "Best of" awards each year for the best-rated members in a category.

What is chamber of commerce directory software?
Software for the public list of a chamber's member businesses, with a page per member, search by trade and area, and tools for members to keep their details up to date.
Can only members be listed in the member business directory?
Yes. On Professional, create a Member account type that needs your approval and give only that type the right to post. Or keep posting closed and add members yourself.
Can members update their own page?
Yes. They claim it with an email code and then edit hours, services, photos, branches, deals and events.
Does it handle membership dues?
Paid membership plans run on Professional, paid into your own Stripe or PayPal account. Yclas does not send invoices for dues or replace a member management system.
Can we list chamber events?
Yes. Events have a date, end date and venue, can repeat weekly, monthly or yearly, and appear in a calendar with Add to calendar.
Can the directory be on our own domain?
Yes, such as directory.yourchamber.org, with SSL included and no Yclas branding on paid plans.
How do we show who is a verified member?
Members upload a document, your staff check it, and approved members show a Verified business badge.
