Must know
  • What a card is. A rate card is a named set of tiers that turns an athlete’s total weekly class minutes into one monthly tuition. Each tier’s minutes value is its inclusive upper bound, and the top tier is open-ended.
  • What counts. Only enrolled athletes in active rate-card programs count, including athletes still finishing requirements. Paused enrollments and enrollments whose end date has passed drop out. Minutes come from the schedule in effect today, or on the program’s start date if it hasn’t started.
  • Cards never blend. Each card prices its own classes. An athlete on two cards pays both amounts as one monthly charge, billed in advance on your club’s monthly billing day and never prorated.
  • Availability. Uplifter turns Rate Cards on for your club. If you don’t see Rate Cards under Settings > Financials, contact Uplifter support.
How a ladder resolves. Say a card has rows up to 180 and 300 minutes plus an open-ended top row. Those price 0 to 180, 181 to 300, and 301+ minutes a week. An athlete in a 90-minute class and a 120-minute class totals 210 minutes and pays the middle row’s monthly price: one amount for both classes. Where minutes come from. A program’s weekly minutes are the time slots on its weekly schedule. A slot with its own dates counts only while it is in effect, so an August buyer of a September program is priced on the September schedule. A rate-card program needs at least one time slot before it can be made active. When the model fits. Rate cards suit hours-based tuition, like competitive squads, where more training time costs more per month but less per hour (check the Per Hour column). Classes families pick by weekly time. If families choose one or two weekly times of the same class, set up each time as its own monthly program (Registration Style Enroll in entire program or Full & Drop-in) on the same card. A family registers the athlete for one or two, and the card prices the athlete once, on the total minutes. What does not apply. A rate-card program must bill monthly. Flat one-time fees, annual dues and sign-up-per-class programs stay on fixed pricing. Per-session pricing, the Proration setting, and pass, membership and punch-card prices are also unavailable: the tier is the price. On Full & Drop-in programs, drop-in purchases keep per-class pricing and never count toward the tier. The editor at a glance. Your club can keep several cards.
  • Rows show From (min/wk), Up to (min/wk), Monthly Price, Weekly and Per Hour. From fills in itself, and the top row’s Up to is a locked infinity sign.
  • Prices can stay level or rise as minutes rise, never fall. If two rows break this, both prices turn red and Save stays unavailable until you fix them.
  • Minutes are whole numbers and prices must be above $0.00. A card holds up to 100 tiers. Card names must be unique and up to 100 characters.
  • Saving asks Update this rate card?, says how many athletes it reprices, and notes it takes effect at each family’s next billing cycle with no charges now. Each price change is recorded in the Activity log under My Organization.
  • A card with no tiers shows in a program’s Rate Card picker but can’t be picked. With no cards, the picker shows a create a rate card link.
Who can use it. Opening Settings > Financials > Rate Cards needs permission to view settings. Seeing the cards on it also needs permission to view financials (or edit training). Changing cards needs permission to edit financials. Without it the buttons still show, but saving is refused. Staff who can edit training can pick a card in a program’s Billing step without settings access.
