- Name - the name of the membership variation i.e Adult or child
- Price - set the amount, the frequency, and if the payment is one-off or recurring.
- Note that recurring payments are indefinite or can be limited to a set amount of payments.
- Membership discount - select all applicable products, the discounts, the number of redemptions and the frequency in relation to that.
- Check the unlimited option if there is no limit to the redemptions frequency. Repeat steps for varying discount rates for different products.

5. Add Membership instructions with important information before they attend such as redemption, check-in instructions or information they should know about the venue.
6. Set the date settings:
If your product has indefinite recurring payments do not enter any value in the fields:
days valid from date of purchase or
days valid from date of redemption fields
These fields should only be completed if your product is for a limited time, has a once off payment or you set a limit to your recurring payments.
For example if its a three month membership you can set the days valid to be 90.
- Days valid from date of purchase
- Days valid from date of redemption
- Sales period - when guests can purchase the membership
- Redemption dates - the dates when the customer is able to use their membership to redeem for applicable discounts on selected products.
7. Under Product management, add add-ons, allocate product category, and the tax rate.

- Select the waiver (if the product purchased requires a waiver)
- Data capture - select the form to capture member details
- Product-specific terms & conditions
- Product visibility - check this if it is not to be sold online
- Product-specific venue - if the address is different from the venue address details
9. Click Save to publish
