Memberships allow you to seamlessly add discounts to multiple services, classes, and products at once. You can offer discounts based on a set number of visits as well as set specific auto-renew options, which allow you to charge clients automatically based on the charge frequency you set (this is only applicable to businesses in the United States).
If you choose to require auto-renewal, you can set the Auto-Renew Limit or the number of times you want to renew the membership. This gives you more flexibility and control and provides clients with more payment options.

Let's take a closer look at this feature!
Managing Current Memberships
1. Click Settings.
2. Click Memberships.
3. Click on the Action drop-down menu that corresponds to the membership to edit or delete it.
4. This screen appears when trying to save a membership that has been changed or modified. Select Apply changes only to future members if you want the update to affect customers who purchase the membership in the future.
Select Apply changes to 1 existing members and future members if you want the changes to affect current customers who are part of the membership as well as clients who sign up for the membership in the future.
Purchasing Membership Cards to Sell to Customers

Adding a New Membership
You can choose not to require auto-renewal when creating memberships. If you choose to require auto-renewal, you can set the Auto-Renew Limit or the number of times you want to renew the membership. This gives you more flexibility and control and provides clients with more payment options.
1. Click New Membership. Customers will have an option to purchase the membership when using the Vagaro Check-in App. Businesses also will be able to sell memberships to customers directly on the Vagaro checkout screen as well as on their booking page or Vagaro website.
2. Enter the Membership Name as well as a Description.
3. Enter the Price of the membership. Select the Tax you want to add. Then enter the Reward Points you want to give to the customer for purchasing the membership.
Customers also collect points anytime the membership auto-renews. Once the client collects enough points, they'll be able to redeem a class, service or class once the redeemed value is met.
4. Under Charge Frequency, click the drop-down menu to choose how often you want to bill the customer for the membership.
You can charge the client Weekly, Every 2 Weeks, Every 4 Weeks, Monthly, Every 6 Weeks, Every 2 months, Every 10 Weeks, Quarterly or Yearly. The software automatically charges the customer's credit card on file.
5. Select the Auto Renew option. Then enter the Auto Renew Limit. This option allows you to set the number of times you want to renew the membership. You also will have an option to select Unlimited when entering the Auto Renew Limit.
6. Select the Show Membership Online option to display it on your Vagaro website and widget.
You can also allow membership discounts in addition to any discounts offered in your daily deals for services, classes, or products.
7. Select Allow Membership Discount on top of Other Discounts to include the membership discount with any Preset or Promo Code discounts you're offering to clients.

Adding Discounts and Visits to Multiple Services and Classes
1. Click Mass Edit in the Service tab to apply discounts to multiple services and classes at the same time.
2. Select All Categories and All Services/Classes to add discounts to all the items. Then, enter the discount. Notice you can add a free discount.
3. Enter the number of visits. You can add an unlimited number of visits. Click Apply when you are finished.
In the example below, we applied a 50 percent discount to the services and classes we added to the membership and limited the discount to 10 visits.
Grouping Services and Classes
1. Once you've added the services and classes to the memberships, you can group specific items within the membership. Click on the checkbox that corresponds to each item on the left side of the screen. Then, click Group.

Click Add Product to add more products to the membership.
Grouping Products

This is great info and I'm so glad we can customize the memberships to this extent now. I do have a question though, so the membership cards are really only used with the check-in app? There is no way to scan them, say when a member is checking out of their brow appointment?
