Details tab

In the Details tab, update the billing and service expiration details for the membership.

• Memberships can be billed in day, week, or month intervals. For example, use 1 Month for monthly memberships, and 12 Months for annual memberships. The minimum billing interval is every 7 days.

• You can specify the time after which unredeemed services will expire. You can also manually adjust the quantity of remaining services on a client's membership, even if unredeemed services have expired. This can be helpful if a client only missed their visit by a few days and would still like to use their membership services.

• If you choose to charge service tax, clients will be charged service tax for the membership services at the time the membership is billed.

Services tab

In the Services tab, select Add service group to add services to the membership.

Services are organized into service groups. For example, if a service group contains French Manicure, Basic Pedicure, and Signature Facial and you select One service, the client can redeem one of those three services per billing cycle.

If you set up two service groups as shown below, the client can redeem a Basic Mani and either a Basic Pedicure or Signature Facial per billing cycle.

You can also allow a service to be redeemed multiple times per billing cycle. In the example below, the client can redeem two French Manicures a month.

You can specify whether to include service customizations in each service group. When the membership is applied at checkout, you can include service customizations up to the amount you specify.

Discounts tab

In the Discounts tab, specify any product or additional service discounts included in the membership. These discounts will be automatically applied to all products and services purchased by clients with an active membership. You can manually remove these discounts during checkout if they do not apply to certain products or services.

If you’d like to choose which products or services are eligible for a discount, you can create an offer instead and limit it to clients with this membership.

Advanced tab

In the Advanced tab, select the price to use for service commission.

• Based on regular price: Staff commission will be calculated based on the regular service price.

• Based on discounted price: Staff commission will be calculated based on the discounted service price (the membership price).

Staff members will receive commission when services are redeemed, not when the membership is billed.

Once you’ve created the membership plan, learn how to start a new membership for a client.
