2. For sign-ups: Convoca Enroll
Your members sign up for activities right from the website. You see the list of registrants, manage the waiting list and take attendance from your phone. No Google forms, no paper sheets.
3. For collecting fees: Convoca Gateway
Redsys integration to collect membership fees by card or Bizum directly from your website. No fees from third-party platforms. The member pays and the system automatically marks the fee as paid.

5. For social media: Convoca Publisher
You write about the activity once and it gets published to Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Telegram and Mastodon. You save the time of posting to seven different places.
6. For forms: Contact Form 7
The classic form plugin. Lightweight, free and with support for attachments. Ideal for your contact page or simple sign-up forms.
7. For SEO: Yoast SEO
If you want your association to show up on Google when someone searches for “neighborhood association [your area]” or “cultural activities [your city]”, you need SEO. Yoast walks you through it step by step.
All of these plugins are free (or have a free version). You don’t need a budget of thousands of euros to digitize your association. Discover Convoca →
