Memberships allow you to seamlessly add discounts to multiple services, classes, and products at once. You can set specific auto-renew options, which allow you to charge clients automatically based on the charge frequency you set.
While the membership is paused, the customer won’t be able to redeem any visits or utilize any discounts. Once the membership is resumed, they will again be able to use the membership regularly.
You can manage Auto-Renewal for Memberships from three areas of the Vagaro application:
-
→ to pause or resume memberships for individual customers.
-
Customer Profile to pause or resume memberships for individual customers.
You can access these functions for Customer Profile in both the Web version and the Vagaro Pro app.

If the membership is being resumed outside of the billing cycle, you will be prompted to charge the customer for the next month’s membership charge.
For example, if the membership renews on the 15th of every month and is paused on April 18th, and then resumed on May 20th, the customer will be charged for the membership right away. If it was paused on April 18th, then resumed on May 10th, the membership would not be charged because the next billing date is not until May 15th.
Whether the customer is charged immediately or at the next billing cycle when a membership is resumed depends on the type of pause:
-
If it was an Indefinite pause and resumed outside of the billing cycle, the customer is charged immediately.
-
For a Temporary pause, consider this example:
A membership on a monthly renewal is paused for 2 billing cycles (at a discounted pause price) on April 18. If you resume the auto-renewal on May 20, the customer will be charged the regular price at the next billing cycle, June 15, because they had already paid the paused price for the month of May.
Note
On the checkout page, if any customer is being checked out and has a paused membership, you’ll get a prompt asking to resume the membership.
