Must know
  • Once a membership has at least one active member, its billing terms — price, billing interval, and start/end dates — lock. Those fields are disabled on the form.
  • Non-billing fields (name, description, image, restrictions, purchase window) stay editable.
  • For recurring memberships, existing billing cycles are never rewritten retroactively — edits take effect from the upcoming cycle. A one-time / per-session membership has only its single cycle, so an allowed edit (like a rename) updates that cycle in place.
You can edit a membership through most of its life, but what’s editable narrows once real members are attached, so nobody’s price or dates change out from under them. (An archived membership is the exception — it drops off the list and no longer offers an Edit action.) While it has no active members (draft, scheduled, or active with zero holders), everything is open — treat it like initial setup. Once at least one member is active, the form locks the fields that would change what people are billed. If you hover a disabled field you’ll see:
This membership has active members, so its billing terms (price, billing interval, dates) can only be changed by Uplifter. Contact support to make this change.
Everything else stays editable:
1

Open the membership

On the Memberships page, open the ⋯ menu and choose Edit.
2

Change the non-billing fields

Update the name, description, image, season, GL code, restrictions, or purchase window. These save normally.
3

Save

Your changes apply going forward — the current and future cycles pick them up, but past cycles and anyone’s existing coverage dates are untouched.
If you genuinely need to change a locked billing field on a membership that already has members, reach out to your Uplifter contact — this guardrail exists so a price or date change can’t silently rebill or shorten coverage for people who already bought in. To change one member’s price without touching the default, use a per-member price override instead.
