An ongoing membership runs in weekly, monthly or yearly cycles and can renew automatically. A temporary membership has a fixed start date and end date, for example a summer membership.
Ongoing memberships
You can offer weekly, monthly and yearly cycles. Switch on the ones you want.
With Auto renewal and auto payment on, the player is charged automatically each cycle, like a subscription.
With it off, the membership simply ends after one cycle.
Auto-renewing cycles can also have a contract period, a free period at the start and a grace period.
You can add a one-time joining fee.
Temporary memberships
Set a Start date and an End date. The end date is required.
Every holder's membership ends on the same end date.
Pro rata pricing is on by default. Players who buy after the start date pay less for the shorter time left.
No automatic renewal, free period or grace period.
Good to know
Choose the type when you click Create membership. You can't change it later.
If you change a temporary membership's end date, the expiry changes for everyone who already holds it.
