Paid clubs - Pay to access club without "requesting to join"?

[Lucas Thompson]

I'm trying to create a club in which the user must pay to access the club.  In order to hide the content from public view, I need to set the club to "closed club".  However, this is a problem because it creates an additional step in the payment process as the user must "request access" first and then wait to be approved by a moderator before making the purchase.... 

How can I create a "closed club" and the user gains access to the club by paying the membership fee...  without the club moderator needing to approve the request to join first?

This is the message that appears when a user attempts to join the club:

"The cost to join this club is $0.50/month. Once a club moderator approves your request, you'll be able to pay the membership fee after which you will be added to the club."

I would like this too.

Does anybody know if a change like this is possible by hiring a custom developer?  Or is something like this locked in and unable to be changed?

I haven't looked at the code since I'm replying from my phone, but it should certainly be possible to add some code to have the club auto-approve any request  automatically. 🤔

There is no way in which to do it within the core platform. It would require modification to do this. Closed clubs are indeed intended to work in  that manner

Does this mean it's possible for me to hire a developer to make this modification?  Or is it impossible to make a modification to the core platform?

Of course its possible to hire someone to develop things. What is possible and what isnt, would depend on the expertise of the person you choose to hire.
