Grouping Memberships within Categories

2 min read Updated 7 days ago

Membership Type Categories allow you to group similar memberships together and apply shared settings across them.
This helps keep memberships organised, simplifies reporting, and makes it much easier to manage settings that should apply across multiple membership types.

Why Use Membership Categories

Membership Categories can be used for things like:

Example	What it Does
Reporting	Filter and report on related memberships together
Tax Settings	Apply shared tax rates across a group of memberships
Online Sign-Up	Organise memberships into clear groups for online sales
Maintenance Fees	Apply maintenance fees to all memberships within a category
Bluetooth Access Tokens	Automatically assign Bluetooth credentials during online signup
Sign & Complete	Require forms and agreements to be completed during signup

Create a Membership Category

Navigate to:

Settings > Membership Types > Membership Type Categories
Create a new category
Edit an existing category
Configure the shared settings for memberships within that category

Assign Memberships to a Category

When creating or editing a Membership Type, select the appropriate category from the Category dropdown.
Once assigned, the membership will inherit the shared settings configured for that category.
Using categories keeps membership management cleaner, more consistent, and much easier to maintain as your club grows.
