NOTE: As of July 2019, to purchase digital downloads, purchasers must have or create a login account with your association. This means the contact MUST exist in your database in order for a login account to be created. If the purchaser exists in your database, he/she will be given the access level assigned to their membership type (if applicable) or the default access level you have setup for your organization. See Setup User Info Hub Login Settings for further information. In a future software update, a contact record will not need to exist in order to create a login. This will allow the general public to purchase digital downloads.
