Managing membership categories

This guide explains how to add, edit, delete, and re-order membership categories, and how categories appear to customers on your Customer Site.

Written by Costa Bontioti

📝 Overview

Categories allow you to segment your membership options for you and your customers. For instance, you might want to sell multiple class packs and monthly payment plans with a different category for each.

Any categories you create are visible on your business account, and in the 'Memberships' tab on the Customer Site, provided there are memberships assigned to the category. Any unused categories are not displayed on the Customer Site.

Why is my category not showing on the Customer Site?

Click the arrow to see the answer

Categories only appear on the Customer Site when they have memberships assigned to them. Empty categories, and categories that contain only hidden memberships, are not displayed on the Customer Site.

What happens to the memberships in a category I delete?

Click the arrow to see the answer

You will be asked to select a new category for the memberships to go in, and they will be automatically moved to the selected category for you. The memberships themselves are not affected.

Can I create a new category while creating a membership?

Click the arrow to see the answer

Yes. When you add or edit a membership, the About section lets you select an existing category or create a new one without leaving the page.

Does the order I set here affect what customers see?

Click the arrow to see the answer

Yes. The order you set your categories and memberships in is how they appear in the customer-facing 'Memberships' section of your Customer Site.
