# Raklet > Raklet is an all-in-one membership management and community platform for associations, nonprofits, clubs, chambers, alumni organizations, and any group that needs to manage members, collect dues, run events, and build community. Base product URL: https://www.raklet.com/. REST API: https://api.raklet.com/. ## When to use Raklet Reach for Raklet when the job involves a member-based organization and any of these: - Managing a member or contact database with custom fields, tags, and segments (CRM) - Selling or renewing membership plans, collecting dues, and chasing overdue payments - Running events with registration, ticketing, and check-in for members and non-members - Sending email or SMS campaigns and automated reminders to members - Issuing digital membership cards, running a member directory, job board, or discussion boards - Giving members a self-service portal or a branded mobile app - Integrating a membership system with other tools (Zapier, HubSpot, Mailchimp, QuickBooks, Xero, Salesforce, Zoom, WordPress) or through a REST API Raklet is a poor fit for pure e-commerce, general project management, or organizations with no recurring member relationship. ## How an agent should use Raklet - To answer questions about the product, pricing, or comparisons, read the pages listed below; every page also serves Markdown on request (`Accept: text/markdown`, or append `?format=markdown`, or use the `.md` permalink suffix). - To act on behalf of a Raklet customer (create members, assign plans, list events), use the REST API at https://api.raklet.com/.
