Setting Up Memberships

Setting Up Memberships

Membership plans define what members can access, how much they pay, and on what schedule. Bliply supports standard recurring memberships, drop-in passes, class packs, and trial memberships.

Creating a Membership Plan

1. Navigate to Memberships in the sidebar.
2. Click + New Plan.
3. Configure the following:
   • Name — e.g. "Unlimited Monthly", "10-Class Pack", "Student Rate"
   • Membership Type:
     • Standard — Recurring billing with automatic renewal
     • Drop-in — Single-use pass for one class
     • Class Pack — Pre-purchased block of credits (e.g. 10 classes)
   • Description — Displayed on your sales page and join flow

Payment Options

Each membership can have one or more payment options that define how the member pays:

• Billing Frequency — Monthly, quarterly, or annually
• Setup Fee — One-time joining fee charged on first sign-up
• Initial Period Fee — The amount charged for the first billing cycle (can differ from recurring)
• Recurring Fee — The amount charged on each subsequent billing cycle
• Commitment Duration — Minimum contract length (e.g. 12 months)
• Visibility — Public (shown on sales page), Direct Link (accessible via private URL), or Hidden (admin-only assignment)

Credit System

• Allocate a specific number of class credits per billing period (or set to unlimited).
• Credits are consumed when members book classes.
• Configure whether unused credits roll over to the next period.
• For class packs, credits are allocated once at purchase and decremented per booking.

Trial Memberships

• Toggle Is Trial on any plan.
• Set the trial type: Free or Paid.
• Set the trial duration in days (e.g. 7 days, 14 days).
• After the trial expires, the member can be converted to a full membership automatically or manually.

Programme Access

Restrict which programmes (and therefore which classes) a membership grants access to. Leave empty for unrestricted access to all programmes.

Payment Start Date Options

• Membership Start — Billing starts on the day the membership begins
• First of Month — Billing aligned to the 1st of each month
• Fifteenth — Billing on the 15th of each month
• Last Day — Billing on the last day of each month
• Custom — Any specific day of the month
