A membership is an instance of a plan assigned to a specific contact. The plan defines price, billing frequency, scope, and use limits; the membership snapshots those values at the moment of sale and tracks the member’s usage and billing schedule from then on. The same contact can hold more than one membership at the same time (for example a monthly main plan plus a 10-class add-on pack). The Memberships page lists every membership in the org, regardless of status.Documentation Index

Opening the page
Go to Members in the main menu, open the overflow next to Add Member, and pick Memberships. The URL is/members/memberships.
Tabs and counts
Tabs filter by status, with server-side counts in each badge:- All - everything.
- Active - the default tab. Currently valid memberships.
- Paused - billing and access on hold.
- Pending - start date is in the future.
- Used - all available sessions consumed but the membership has not been cancelled.
- Cancelled - cancelled either immediately or at end of period.
- Expired - past the end date without renewal.
Grid columns
Each row shows the member, the plan, billing frequency, price, current period, status chip, payment status, and usage allowance. Click a row to open the membership detail page.Adding a membership
Click Add Membership. The dialog lets you:- Pick the contact.
- Pick the plan. Fields auto-populate from the plan: price, billing frequency, signup fee, max uses, scope (which classes, areas, or instructors the membership covers).
- Adjust start date. The end date and renewal date are computed from the billing frequency, but admins can override.
- Set auto-renew (only for recurring frequencies; defaults from the plan).
- Optionally take payment in the same step. If the plan requires payment upfront, the payment section opens automatically and the membership cannot be saved without it.
The lifecycle
Memberships move through these states. The actions available on each row reflect the current state.Pause and resume
Use Pause to put a membership on hold. Billing stops and access is blocked while paused. When you Resume, the end date and renewal date shift forward by the pause duration so the member recovers the time they paid for. The pause dialog accepts an optional reason (e.g. vacation, injury, medical leave) and an optional auto-resume date. Leave the resume date blank to require manual resumption.Renew
Renew appends a new billing period to a recurring membership. The renewal dialog shows the resulting new period dates. One-time memberships cannot be renewed; create a new membership instead.Cancel
Cancel offers two modes:- Cancel at end of period - the membership stays active until the current period ends, then will not renew. The current scheduled cancellation date shows on the row as “Cancelling on ”.
- Cancel immediately - status flips to cancelled today and access is revoked immediately.
Delete
Deletion is only available when the membership has no transactions. To remove a membership that has been paid against, cancel it instead so financial history is preserved.How usage is counted
When a membership hasmaxUses set, each booking against it debits one use at the moment the booking is created. Cancelling the booking restores the use. A check-in that is linked to a booking does not double-debit, because the booking has already paid for the session.
A pre-existing booking honors the membership even after the membership has been exhausted or has flipped out of active status:
An exhausted or no-longer-active membership still honors bookings that were created against it while it was active. The booking debited a use at booking time, so check-in for that specific booking goes through even if the membership has since hit zero uses or expired. See Attendance for the walk-in versus pre-booked distinction.
Membership scope (validFor)
Memberships can be scoped to specific classes, areas, or instructors. The scope is set on the plan and copied to the membership at sale. When a booking is being created, only memberships whose scope covers the chosen class/area/instructor are offered as payment options. Admins can edit the scope on an existing membership if the plan’s snapshot is stale.Auto-renew
Recurring memberships can auto-renew. When the period ends, a renewal transaction is generated and charged against the member’s saved payment method. Auto-renew is only available for active, used, or pending memberships, and defaults to the plan’sdefaultAutoRenewal setting.
