1. Verify Payment Integration
Before creating membership plans, ensure that a payment gateway is connected. You can choose either Square or Stripe.
2. Create a New Membership Plan
Go to Booking Settings → Memberships → New Membership Plan.
When creating a new membership plan, pay attention to the following:
-
Payment Mode

One-time payment: Select “The customer pays once, upfront” if the client is only paying once.
-
Recurring subscription: Select “The customer pays periodically” if you want automatic recurring billing.
-
-
Number of Payments

If left blank, payments will continue indefinitely until canceled.
-
If a number is set, billing will stop after that many payments.
-
-
Conditions

3. Ways to Purchase a Membership
Memberships can be purchased in three different ways:
a. Membership → Purchase Membership
b. Orders → New Order → Add Membership
c. Customers → Customer Details → Memberships → Purchase Membership
When purchasing, keep in mind:
-
Duration
-
If a future start date is set, the membership will be in “Scheduled” status until the start date, when it becomes active.

-
Members Eligible for Shared Access
-
If the membership allows sharing, you can assign additional users besides the purchaser.
-
-
Payment Setup
-
Card details must be saved to charge the customer.

-
-
The recurring amount is shown, and if tax applies, set it under Basic Settings → Taxes → Add.

A membership must be in Active status to be used.
Memberships in Past Due, Scheduled, Canceled, or Paused cannot be applied.
