How to sell or renew a membership at the front desk.
Sales of plans go through the POS so the payment, receipt and reports all match. Gifts and corrections go straight onto the member profile without a sale.
- Who it is for
- Front desk staff, owners and managers
- Plan
- Advance and Team
Sell a plan
- Open Customers (Members for gyms) and click the member.
- In the action bar at the top of the profile, click Sell plan. If the member had a plan recently, the button reads Renew followed by the plan name instead.
- The POS opens with the member already chosen and the Memberships tab showing (Plans and courses for businesses that sell courses).
- Tap the plan to add it to the cart. Renew puts the same plan in the cart for you.
- Take payment as usual. The package is added to the member when the sale is paid.
Give a plan without payment
Use this for a free month, a prize, or to copy over a membership someone paid for elsewhere. No sale or revenue is recorded.
- On the member profile, open the more menu (More actions) and choose Give plan without payment.
- Pick a Plan, or choose Custom (enter manually) and type a name and Total sessions (0 means time based, no session cap).
- Check Start date and Expires at (optional). The expiry fills in from the plan length; change it if you need to.
- Tick Activate later to keep the package dormant until you press Activate on it. Start and expiry then count from that day.
- Click Create package.
What your customers see
- The new package shows in the member app and on the member page straight away, with its sessions and end date.
- A package created with Activate later does not open the door or allow bookings until staff press Activate.
Common problems
- Why does Renew not show for this member?
- Renew only offers a plan the member bought from a plan (not a custom package), that is not a day pass, and that is still running or ended in the last 60 days. Use Sell plan instead.
- Will Give plan without payment show in my sales report?
- No. It records no sale and no revenue. To charge, always use Sell plan.
