  • Product Type: There are four different options for product type:
    • Standard: A standard product is available for both sign-up and renewal.
    • Signup Only: A signup only product is available only for sign-up.
    • Renewal Only: A renewal only product is only available for renewal.  
    • Auto-Renewing Subscription: Subscription products are only available to rolling date membership levels and are a completely automated subscription. Once enabled, a member can sign-up to a subscription product and save their credit card details against the subscription. There are additional options for subscription products:
      • Re-accept T&Cs: Select whether or not you would like the member to fill out a new form and re-accept the terms and conditions every year.
      • Allow Cancellations: This setting will determine if a member can cancel their auto-renewal at any stage prior to the term of duration of the membership being reached.
  • Period: The duration options will vary depending on your Membership Period Type. If you have chosen Rolling Date you will need to select from “Monthly, Quarterly, Bi-Annually, Annually, 2 Years, 3 Years, 4 Years, 5 Years or Perpetual). If you have chosen Fixed Date you will get to select (Annual, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years or Perpetual).
  • Joining Price: This is the price of your membership for new members including any sign-up or setup fees.
  • Renewal Price: This is the price for all renewing members.
  • Tax Rate: If this membership product should charge a different tax rate to the site default tax rate then you can customise the percentage charged here.

If you select “Yes” the membership will be publicly available. If you select “No” you will be given a list of all of the roles (including membership levels) that are available. Simply tick all of the roles and available tags that you would like to be able to see this new membership product e.g. you may only offer 5 year memberships to current members and not new members. Once access is allowed, only 'current' members and members expired within 30 days can purchase a restricted membership product.

AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION SET UP

When using Membership Subscriptions the system will save the members payment details in the Member Jungle payment gateway. For this reason, the subscriptions are not available to websites that utilise external payment gateways. (Dedicated Stripe payment gateways are allowed). 

Subscription products are not available for fixed date memberships. Your membership level will need to be set to rolling. See Membership Level Setup for more information on what this means.

To have an auto-renewing subscription membership product, you will require this to be turned on for your website. If you do not have the subscription option in your membership settings, and would like to use this method, please raise a support ticket to let us know.

To find out more visit Auto-renewing Subscription.

Linked Online Store Items

You can also link items from the Online Store to each membership level so that they are offered to members as a part of their membership purchase.

Products can be linked specifically to this membership level or to all levels.
