Activate a membership

To activate a membership from the Contacts application, navigate to the Contacts app, and click on a contact to open that specific contact form.

From the contact form, open the Membership tab, and click Buy Membership.

Tip

To successfully buy a membership, both the Account Receivable and Account Payable lines must be configured for that contact. These can be found in the contact form’s Accounting tab, under the Accounting entries section.

On the Join Membership pop-up window that appears, select a Membership from the drop-down menu. Then, configure a Member Price.

Click Invoice Membership when both fields are filled in. Doing so reveals a Membership Invoices page, wherein invoices can be confirmed and completed.

Alternatively, to offer a free membership, tick the Free Member checkbox, in the Membership tab of a contact form.

The Current Membership Status is listed on the Membership tab of each contact record:

  • Non Member: a partner who has not applied for membership.

  • Cancelled Member: a member who has cancelled their membership.

  • Old Member: a member whose membership end date has passed.

  • Waiting Member: a member who has applied for membership, but whose invoice has not yet been created.

  • Invoiced Member: a member whose invoice has been created, but has not been paid.

  • Paid Member: a member who has paid the membership fee.
