Discounts on invites

When you invite someone with a membership, you can set the price they join on. This is how most clubs move existing members across without changing what they pay. You set the terms per person, so each child in a family can have their own rate.

For the basics of inviting, see Invite your first members.

Add a discount to an invite

1. Open Members and click Invite members.
2. Choose Detailed invite.
3. Enter the person's details and choose a membership.
4. Under Discount, pick one from Use a saved discount, or leave it on Custom discount and set the terms (see below).
5. Add any children. Each child has their own discount fields, or tick Grant this membership free for that child. Use the Same as button to copy another person's discount.
6. Send the invite. In Send this invite?, check each person's terms, then click Send Invite.

A custom discount has these fields:

• Percent off (1–100).
• Applies for: First payment only, First N months (then enter For how many months), or The life of the membership.
• Also waive the signup fee, if you want to.

Each discount applies to that person only. When the person joins in the app, they are charged the discounted price.

Waive the first pro-rata charge

Use this for members who have already paid for the current period, in cash or with a previous provider.

1. In a detailed invite, choose a paid membership. Leave Grant this membership free unticked.
2. Tick Waive pro-rata charge.

The member pays nothing for the part-period when they join. Their first full payment lands on the plan's billing day, and they are billed as normal from then on.

• It only takes effect on plans that bill on a set day of the month. On a plan billed from each member's signup date, it does nothing.
• It applies only to the membership named on the invite, and only to their first subscription.
• It does not waive the signup fee. Use Also waive the signup fee for that.

Save a discount you use often

If you offer the same deal repeatedly, such as a blue light or student rate, save it once and pick it by name on invites.

1. Open Discounts and choose the Saved discounts tab.
2. Click New Saved Discount.
3. Enter a Name. Only your staff see it.
4. Enter Percent off, or leave it blank to only waive the joining fee.
5. Choose Applies for, and tick Also waive the joining fee if you want to.
6. Under Which membership, choose All memberships or one membership.
7. Click Save discount.

A saved discount restricted to one membership only appears on an invite when that membership is selected for the person. If you edit a saved discount, only invites sent after the change use the new terms. Anyone already invited keeps the terms they were offered.
