What is a Fixed Length Membership?

With a membership, a client has access to designated classes as well as one-on-one services for a predetermined amount of time, or until they decide to terminate their membership. A fixed length membership means that this membership is set to expire after a certain amount of time and be removed from the client’s profile until purchased again either on the app or within the business.

Things to Consider:

Before creating your membership, be sure that you have uploaded the proper waiver to accompany this specific membership if it is different from previous waivers. If you have not uploaded the waiver associated with this membership within your account, don’t sweat it! Click the "Add New" button at the bottom of the waiver drop down in the “Details” tab, copy and paste your waiver, then add a title and you’re all set!
Before crafting your memberships, it is best practice to add all of your classes and one-on-one services so that you can create memberships in the most efficient way possible. If at any point your business adds on a class, class group, or service, memberships can be edited to include these offerings.
Memberships can be marked as not for sale or edited at any time. To do this, open your “Memberships” window, and next to the membership you wish to edit, click the corresponding three dots in the far right hand side and select the proper option from the drop-down menu.
