After a customer purchases a membership, you can view and manage it in their customer profile or by running the Memberships report. Customers can have more than one membership, as long as they are all different and renew their memberships on time. In a customer's profile, you can view their usage history, switch them to another one, manage auto-renewal, update membership details, reactivate inactive ones, as well as cancel or refund them.
Prerequisites: This feature is available for all Vagaro businesses, and the customer must have already purchased at least one membership. Optionally, Credit Card Processing is required to set up auto-renewing memberships.
All memberships can be edited so that their settings are specific to a customer. None of these changes will affect the original membership created in the Memberships screen.
Note
On a phone, tablet, Pay Desk, or PayPro, this task can be performed on the Memberships report screen.
