This is a step-by-step guide to creating your first Membership Category. The Membership Category we will be creating will be a “Junior” Category with some common settings. This will not show all options or capabilities of Membership Categories, but will give a brief introduction to some of the most used settings.

For further, more detailed guidance on Membership Categories, read the full guide here: How to Create a New Membership Category

Instructions

  1. Log in to your myClubhouse site.

  2. Navigate to Subscriptions > Membership Categories.

  3. Click “Add Category”.

  4. Enter the Name of the Membership Category.

  5. Enter a short description about the Category, including who is eligible, and the benefits these members receive. This will be visible to members.

  6. Select “Junior Member” for “Role when Active”.

  7. Leave the Start Date as “User selects start” and “As Soon As Possible”. This will mean that the Subscription will start on the day that the member registers.

  8. Leave the End Date as “Season End Date” and a Duration of 1 year. This means that the Subscription will end at the end of the current season.

  9. Click “Costs” to move to the Costs tab.

  10. Enter the Subscription Cost.

  11. Select “Subscriptions” for the “Subscription Cost Payment Scheme”. This controls how a member can pay for their Subscription.

  12. For the “Subscription product categories” select “Subscription”.

  13. Click on the “Renewals” tab.

  14. Automatic Renewals are a very useful and commonly used tool, but for your first year, we recommend doing renewals manually. So leave “Automatically Renew?” set to “No”.

  15. Set the “Renewal Grace Period” to 7 days.

  16. Set the “Renewal Reminder Period” to 30 days.

  17. For the Renewal Progression, select “Full Adult Member” from the dropdown next to “this Category”.

    This means when a member is no longer eligible for this Membership Category, the system will renew them to the Adult category. So here, when a member reaches 18 years old, they will be moved from the Junior to the Adult category.

  18. Click “Restrictions” to move to the Restrictions tab.

  19. Leave “Available to new applicants?” and “Available to existing members?” checked.

  20. Set the “Age Range” to be “to 17”.

  21. Click “Save Changes”.
