Memberships allow you to add discounts to multiple services, classes, and products at once. You additionally can offer discounts based on a set number of visits as well as set specific auto-renew options.
When you manage customer memberships from either the Reports/Memberships or Customer Profile/Memberships screens, changes you make affect ONLY that customer's use of the membership. Changes made on the Settings/Memberships page potentially affect all customers using that membership, depending on how the business implements a change.

Cancel Membership
From the Membership Report |
From the Customer Profile/Memberships |
Cancelling a membership makes the services, classes or product discounts included unavailable to the customer. They are no longer charged for renewals, and the membership is not available to use at checkout for a service that was included.
Cancelling a membership cannot be undone. You'll have to sell a new membership if the customer changes their mind about cancelling.
- Run a Transaction List report, locate the membership to refund, and select Refund from the Action menu. See Refund a Membership for detail.
- Use the Refund Membership option from the Customer Profile/Memberships page, see below.
Refund Membership
This option is only available from the Customer Profile/Memberships tab. When you choose this option, you can choose the refund options (to the customer's credit card, cash, or a gift certificate.) You can also select the option to cancel the membership at the same time you issue the refund.
History
You can view a summary of all transactions for a membership by selecting History from the Action or More menus. For details, see Membership History.
