Released
OA LodgeMaster Users,
The OA LodgeMaster Team is excited to announce the immediate release of version 4.5.3! This release includes online dues payment and new mobile app functionality! Lodges can now seamlessly and securely process online dues payments directly in the OA Member Portal and the OA Member App. The release includes several other bug fixes and improvements throughout OA LodgeMaster. For lodges who requested offline access, this version includes an update to the offline Lodge Client.
Online Dues Payments
Beginning today lodges can accept online dues payments directly in OA LodgeMaster from the OA Member Portal and OA Members mobile app. Payments are processed securely through the Scouting America Payment platform, eliminating any barriers to using the new dues payment feature. Lodge Administrators are advised to review the payment integration documentation. Setup is required prior to using the online dues payment feature.
OA Members Mobile App
The new OA Members Mobile App is now available! Download for Android on Google Play and from the Apple App Store for iOS. Access your member profile, pay your dues, view upcoming events from your lodge, section, region and the national organization. Access resources including member journeys for new Ordeal and Brotherhood candidates.
Lodge Administrators can start adding app content to the app from within OA LodgeMaster. Go to the Mobile App module to add news, resources, and approve push messages. View the recording of our app announcement from the National Council Of Chiefs here.
A full list of bug fixes and improvements can be found on the OA LodgeMaster Documentation site. Visit https://lodgemaster.oa-scouting.org to access the Lodge Client, read documentation, or submit support and feature requests.
Yours in Brotherhood,
The OA LodgeMaster Team
