AMS systems are very focused on capturing information about members and other customers so frequently their “out-of-the-box” functionality is cumbersome. AMS vendors need to offer a happy medium to address issues like yours.

But, AMS could not easily be configured to just take pass purchase. Instead, it wanted to create an entire user profile, validate it via email, have you log back in, fill your profile, then register, then pay, etc, etc.

That was quickly abandoned and we simply wrote up a quick PHP script to grab basic reg data. Perhaps not as ideal from a member database integration point of view, but the initial approach would have certainly hurt our pass sales in a major way.
