How can we help?

Once you have some Prospect and Member offers created, you can start signing people up using the Member Enrollment application. Select the Member Enrollment application from the My Apps page.

Member Enrollment Application

Defining the Membership

On the Member Enrollment screen, you will need to first select the offer being signed up for from the list on the left. You can filter by Member and Prospect offers and needed.

Once you've selected an offer, you will need to select additional details, such as the items and add-ons to add and the salesperson. In order for your users to appear as salespeople, they must have the POS - Can Access permission.

For any term memberships, you will also be able to make adjustments to the Renewal Terms. These will be set to whatever was set up in Offer Builder, but it can be changed.

Defining the Membership

Entering the Buyer and Cardholder Information

Next we'll need to add all of the member information. This is done with two different types: the Buyer and the Cardholders.

• Buyer: This is the individual that is financially responsible for the membership. The Buyer may also be a member (cardholder), which can be indicated by toggling the Is also member toggle in the Buyer tab
• Cardholders: These are the individuals checking into the facility. 

At the minimum, you will need to fill in the Buyer's information and either use the Is also member toggle, or fill in separate information for the first cardholder in the Add'l Member 1 tab. Additional cardholders can be added using the +  button, but only if the offer allows additional cardholders.

Buyer and Cardholder Info

The Alternate ID is going to be important if you are using membership cards. The card number for the new member/prospect MUST be entered into the Alternate ID field. This will allow My Club Business to recognize the membership card when it is scanned for check in.

Summary and Adjustments

The Summary section is going to be where many manual adjustments are made. Here, you can:

• Use the Pencil icon to adjust the number of payments on the membership. This can only be equal to or lower than the original number of payments.
  

  Adjust the Number of Payments

• Use the Calendar icons to manually change the Start Date, the First Due Date, and the Expiration Date.
  

  Adjust the Membership Dates

• Apply both Discount Codes and manual discounts.
  

  Apply Discounts

• Make manual adjustments to any added Point of Sale items using the Pencil icon
  

  Adjust POS items

Adding Discounts

Part of the Summary section deals with adding discounts which can be done one of two ways: with Discount Codes (see this article) or manually.

Discount Codes

If you've created Discount Codes and added them to the selected offer, you can enter the Code and click Add Code. This will add the prebuilt discount created in Offer Builder to the membership.

Manual Discounts

If you are not using Discount Codes, you can still make adjustments to the price of the membership manually. Not only will this let you discount the price, but you can also increase the price. First, you will need to select the type of discount you will be applying:

• Percentage Discount: This will take a percent amount off of both the Fees Due at Sign Up and the Recurring Fees.
• Items Discount: This will take a dollar amount off of ONLY added Point of Sale items. If no Point of Sale items are selected, this will do nothing.
• Dues Adjustment: This will either increase or decrease the member dues by a dollar amount.

Adding a Manual Discount

Once everything has been managed on this page, click Review and Pay to continue on to the next step.

Review and Pay

This screen is where you can review the details of the membership so far and enter the member's payment information. On the left, you will find the membership details and information on the added Buyer and cardholders. On the right, you will find fields for entering the Buyer's payment information.

Review and Pay Screen

When it comes to entering payment information, you will have a few options

Sign Up Payment

The Sign Up Payment is going to include everything that the member must pay for during sign up. This can be paid for with either a Credit Card, cash, or a check. Select the payment method and then enter the relevant information. If the member is paying with cash or check, you will only need to select the cash drawer that is being used.

Recurring Payment

If the member is not signing up for a Paid in Full membership and there are recurring charges, either in the form of add-ons or membership dues, you will need to enter information for that as well. Here, the member can choose either Credit Card, EFT (bank account), or Statement. ASF generally recommends either Credit Card or EFT if possible.

If the member is going to have their recurring fees drafted from a Credit Card, and they will be paying their Sign Up Payment with the same Credit Card, you can choose to use the same card information by using the Is Same as Sign Up Credit Card toggle. Credit Cards can also be swiped if you are using a compatible credit card swipe.

Adding Payment Info

Once the payment information has been added, click Sign Terms and Conditions.

Signing the Contract

The final part of signing up a new member will be to review the membership and sign the terms and conditions. Let members read over the contract and sign in any and all required locations. Once all signatures have been added, click Create Membership or Create Prospect.

Communication Opt-In

While signing the contract, you will find a signature box used for opting in to receiving text communications. This is optional for your member and they may choose to sign this box to opt in or leave it blank.

After opting in to receive text communications, members can always opt back out by following the directions found in the first text they receive. For more information on communication preferences, be sure to review this article.

Member Email Communications

For clubs that are integrated with Club OS, members will be automatically opted in to receive promotional email communications. Only Buyer information will be used when adding the member to receive email communications. Cardholder information will not be used for this.

Members can always opt themselves out of receiving email communications by using the link that can be found in the email they receive.
