Frequently Asked Questions
What makes StarChapter different?
The StarChapter support team is in-house and US-based. We have a hands-on implementation with dedicated project managers, association-focused growth, and data-driven software development based on actual association chapter needs.
Who is responsible for updating the website?
StarChapter is a self-managed software, so you can update whenever you would like without needing permission or assistance.
Can you block administrators from certain areas or features?
Yes, you are able to restrict access to administrators. You can see more information here.
What kind of software security does StarChapter have?

Does StarChapter take any % of ticket pricing?
There are no additional fees assessed on your organization’s activities. There are transaction fees associated with credit card payments, if you chose to add a StarPay account to your Starchapter system.
How long does it take to go live?
It varies based on responsiveness from the point of contact at the organization, but an average project will go live in 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the plan purchased.
Are the StarPay fees negotiable?
No, we’ve negotiated a standardized fee based on the volume of transitions from our customers.
We’re already happy with our website, can we keep it?
Much of StarChapter’s value is in the ability to have the system handle basic updates and recurring tasks automatically. This includes website updates, so we don’t recommend using a third-party website if you would like to set up a more efficient system. We can build the website in our system to match it as closely as we can, but you’ll find that our additional features that are integrated will offer you a lot more.
Are we limited to the email templates provided?
No, you have creative freedom. You can use the templates already provided and edit them, or you can build your own with our email builder.
Can we use StarChapter to store documents?
Yes, you can host all your documents in the system. You have up to 10GB of storage.
What happens when a board transition occurs?
StarChapter has a lot of great features to help with board transitions, including a dashboard to walk you through our recommended updates at the time of transition. Training is also available for all board members.
