If a member no longer wishes to continue, maybe they’re moving away, can’t afford it anymore, or simply finished up, you can cancel their membership quickly through their profile.
Cancel Membership
- Go to the member’s profile and click into their Membership tab
- Find the membership you wish to cancel and hit the Cancel button next to it
- You’ll see a screen similar to this:
When cancelling, you’ll want to pay attention to a few key details:
| Option | What it Does |
|---|---|
| Reason for cancellation | Select a reason for reporting and analytics purposes |
| Minimum term | May restrict available cancellation dates; an override checkbox can be used if required |
| Cancellation date | Sets the effective date the membership will end |
| Future billing | Usually left enabled; ensures billing is correctly finalised up to the cancellation date |
| Prorating | Adjusts charges so the member only pays for the time used based on the cancellation date |
| Cancellation fee | Allows a fee to be applied at the time of cancellation if required |
Once everything looks right, click Confirm to lock it in.
Erasing a Membership
If the membership was added by mistake, is less than 3 months old, and hasn’t been paid for or used, you can use the Erase Membership button instead.
This wipes the membership and any related charges completely, like it was never there.
