Create Memberships Hidden from General Sign Up
If you’ve got special membership options, like discounted plans or ones with exclusive benefits, you might not want them shown to everyone on your public sign-up page.
GymMaster lets you create hidden memberships that only become visible when a valid discount code is entered.
This is perfect for :
- Corporate or staff memberships
- Special promotions or partnerships
- Loyalty or referral offers
Create a Hidden Membership
To hide a membership from the regular sign-up options:
- Navigate to Settings > Membership Types
- Edit or create the membership you want hidden
- In the Sell Membership Online section, leave “Online Sign-Up” unchecked
- Save your changes
This ensures the membership won’t appear unless specifically unlocked with a code, or added directly to a member by staff
Tip: Use a Separate Category
To keep things tidy, we recommend creating a new membership type category just for hidden memberships.
This makes it easier to manage and group these special offers.
Create a Discount Code
Next, create a code that will reveal the hidden membership on your sign-up page:
- Go to Settings > Financial Configuration > Adjust Membership Discount Codes
- Click + Add Discount Code
- Set your desired code, discount (if any), and under Eligible Membership Types, select the hidden membership(s) this code should unlock
- Save to create
When this code is entered on the sign-up page, the hidden membership will appear.
Tip: Use Direct Sign-Up Links
You can skip the step of entering the code manually, by adding the discount code directly to the sign-up URL. That way, when someone clicks the link, the hidden membership is already unlocked.
Example : https://YourDBName.gymmasteronline.com/portal/signup?code=DiscountCode
Just replace YourDBName and DiscountCode with your actual GymMaster database name and discount code.
