Must know
  • Set per membership, on by default. Prorate partial periods is in each membership’s Pricing & Billing card.
  • On: a member who joins partway through the current cycle pays the cycle price times the days left, divided by the days in the cycle. Buying the next cycle ahead, and every renewal, is full price.
  • Off: members pay the full cycle price whenever they join. The switch isn’t offered for a One-time or Per Session membership with no End Date.
  • New purchases only. A change reaches only later purchases, including staff sales through Add member and manual invoices.

Don’t see the switch? A One-time or Per Session membership with no End Date has no period to prorate, so Uplifter hides the switch and stores it off. New memberships start that way. Picking Monthly or Yearly, or adding an End Date, brings the switch back. It shows off if that’s how it was last saved, so turn it on again if you want to prorate. How the first charge is worked out. Only a purchase that starts coverage now, in the running cycle (Start now on your club website), is prorated. Days left counts today, so joining on the cycle’s first day pays full price. Choosing Next cycle is full price, and so is every renewal: only the first cycle can be prorated. Non-renewing memberships are usually a flat price, so the help text suggests turning it off for them. Staff sales follow the same rule. A manual invoice line for a cycle under way is priced this way, and so is Add member into the cycle badged Current, whose Charge summary shows Prorated amount when it applies. With a club Monthly billing day. If Settings > Financials > Payment Schedule sets a Monthly billing day, a new monthly member pays at checkout for the rest of the current cycle. If the billing day that pays for the next cycle has already come (or is today), the next full cycle is collected too. After that, they’re charged on your billing day. The switch still decides whether that partial cycle is prorated or full price. Changing it later. It stays editable after members join, never re-prices anyone already in, and never opens the Change how this membership bills? dialog. Programs and passes work differently. Programs prorate by scheduled sessions left, set per category under Settings > Financials > Payment Schedule > Proration, with a per-program override. That Proration card doesn’t control memberships. Passes never prorate.
