Renewal Options

Decide how memberships under this type will renew:

  • Automatically re-bill: The membership will renew automatically.

  • Manual renewal: Members will need to renew their membership manually.

Configuring Expiration and Billing

  • Expiration Date: Choose how the expiration will be determined (calculated by joined date, fixed date, etc.).

  • Billing Frequency: Set how often the membership will be billed (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually).

Adding a Description

Use the description field to give members more context about the membership. This can include:

  • An overview of what the membership includes

  • Who the membership is designed for (e.g., students, families, professionals)

A clear and compelling description helps potential members choose the option that best fits their needs.
