Encourage guests to self-serve membership upgrades and renewals (BETA)

Let ROLLER drive your membership sales, upgrades and renewals, and increase your recurring revenue, with membership management.

Using membership management, you can enable your guests to self-manage their memberships, with the ability to upgrade at any time. ROLLER will also encourage guests to renew expired memberships and win-back canceled ones, eliminating the need for staff intervention.

This article will walk through how guests can self-manage their memberships via progressive checkouts and online accounts, and how ROLLER encourages renewals.

Requirements

Before guests can self-serve their membership upgrades and renewals, there's some configuration work required from venues in Venue Manager.

• Venues must be using progressive checkouts with online accounts enabled.
• Venues must be using ROLLER Payments.
• Venues must have configured membership upgrades and renewals at the membership product level. To learn more, read the guide Create a membership product.

How guests upgrade a membership

If a guest would like to upgrade their memberships, they can do so from their online account.

Once logged in, guests can follow the steps below.

1. From My tickets, guests select the memberships they want to upgrade.
2. They select Manage and then select Upgrade membership.
3. A new webpage will open. This page has been configured to only show memberships equal to or greater than the dollar value of their current membership.
4. Your guests then select the memberships of a higher value they wish to upgrade to and then select Upgrade.
5. Guests pay any differences in membership fees, as the upgrade will incur an extra cost. Once payment has been made, the memberships will be updated in their online account.

How guests renew a membership from an automated win-back email

When your guests’ memberships expire, or have been canceled, ROLLER will automatically send an email to your guests, with the option to renew. This can be configured by venues in Venue Manager. ROLLER will also send a reminder email 30 and 60 days after expiry or cancellation.

Once your guests receive their expiry or cancellation email, they can follow the steps below if they want to renew.

1. From the email, guests select Renew now.
2. If their original membership product is available to purchase, then they’ll be taken to the Product details page with their cart already populated, and they can checkout quickly and seamlessly.
3. If their original membership product isn’t available, then they’ll be taken to a membership products page where they can select new memberships to purchase.
4. Once payment is confirmed, the new memberships are confirmed and will be active and available to use.
