# Uplifter 1.5.7 (September 10, 2026)

> What changed in Uplifter 1.5.7, released Thursday, September 10, 2026: Families and shared access, the recurring billing register, card-reader terminals and the Find your club directory.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Released Thursday, September 10, 2026.** This page also covers the smaller releases around it, September 7 - 13 (versions 1.5.6 and 1.5.8 to 1.6.1).
  * **Families and shared access are new.** Households can share access to their athletes, and sibling discounts count only athletes in the same Family.
  * **Some changes depend on your plan.** **Settings > Organization > Features** shows what your club has. A feature marked **Not included** needs Uplifter support.
</Note>

## For club staff

**Sibling discounts move to Discounts.** Set them up only under **Settings > Financials > Discounts**, where **Orders per owning Family** uses one allowance per order for all qualifying siblings. Existing program rules moved there. See [automatic discounts](/club/discounts/set-up-an-automatic-discount).

**A recurring billing register.** **Financials > Recurring Billing** lists one row per athlete and product (**Active**, **Paused**, **Failed**, **Cancelled** or **Completed**) with only the actions that apply: edit, pause with a restart date, cancel now or at period end, **Resume** or **Retry now**. Each charge has a **Cycles** ledger, and filters cover program, next billing date and payment method. See [recurring charges](/club/payments-checkout/what-are-recurring-charges).

**Card-reader terminals.** If your plan includes **Store**, use **Order a Terminal** under **Settings > Financials > Terminals**, then take cards at the point of sale or with **Charge on terminal** on an invoice. See [card terminals](/club/website-store/set-up-card-terminals).

**Refunds cover memberships, passes and custom items.** Per line, choose how much goes back and what happens to the item, such as **End access now** or **Remove unused credits**. See [refunds](/club/refunds-cancellations/which-purchases-can-i-refund).

**Clearer membership cancellations.** End a member now or at period end, choose what happens to the money, and whether to notify the family. **Cancelled** is its own status, and **Remove from membership** fixes a wrong add. See [cancelling a membership](/club/memberships/how-do-i-cancel-a-members-membership).

**Per-session pricing.** A full-enrollment program can charge **Per session**, so holidays and cancelled classes lower the bill. It bills on your **Monthly billing day**, and when you change that day you now see which charges move first. See [program pricing](/club/programs-classes/set-program-pricing).

**Change days and dates after families register.** A dialog on save covers affected sessions, refunds and notifications. Cancelled sessions send families a **Program Schedule Updated** email. See [program schedules](/club/programs-classes/set-program-schedule).

**Purchase conditions.** A program, store product, event ticket type or competition category can require an earlier purchase within a time window. Staff can always override at checkout. See [requiring an earlier purchase](/club/programs-classes/require-an-earlier-purchase).

**Requirements work the same everywhere.** Bookings now enforce level, age and waiver rules at checkout, and age can be measured at program start or a chosen date, in years, months or both. See [age restrictions](/club/programs-classes/set-age-restrictions).

**Enroll in Program asks how to charge.** The tray ends with a payment step: **Card on file**, **Send invoice**, **Gift card**, **Cash** or **Comp**, plus when recurring billing starts. See [enrolling an athlete](/club/athletes-families/how-do-i-enroll-an-athlete-in-a-program).

**Chargebacks explained.** A pulled-back invoice shows **Charged back** with a plain reason, and a dispute in progress shows **Chargeback pending** in payment history. Alert emails include the reason when given. See [invoice statuses](/club/payments-checkout/invoice-statuses-explained).

**Program applications replace the interest form.** The no-login interest form is retired. **Application Required** is offered only when your plan includes **Program Applications**, and the programs list shows athletes awaiting review. See [reviewing applications](/club/registration-enrollment/review-and-approve-registration-applications).

**Also new for staff.** An **Activity** tab on the athlete profile records each enrollment and membership change and who made it. Manual invoice lines take any price, with **Reset to list price**. Cancelling a session lets you return **Family pass credits** separately from refunds. **Cancel card** on a gift card writes off its balance, refunds no one and can't be undone. See [the athlete record](/club/athletes-families/what-is-an-athlete-record).

## For coaches

**The Programs list starts with this week.** It opened on **Rest of this week** and shows sessions loaded out of the total, with **Load more**. Since Uplifter 1.7.1 it opens on **Upcoming**. See [browsing classes](/coaches/coach-your-day/browse-search-my-classes).

## For families

**Families and shared access.** From **Family** in the family portal, add athletes, invite other adults (who must accept) and share selected athletes outside the household. Each purchase and pass now belongs to a Family. Since Uplifter 1.7.0 every account has a named Family. See [inviting someone](/families/families-household/invite-someone-to-your-family).

**New cards and bank accounts are saved.** At checkout and when paying an invoice, a signed-in family's new card or bank account is saved for future billing, with a notice. Guest checkouts never save one. See [saved cards](/families/families-payments-billing/save-a-card-or-payment-method).

**Coming up and declined payments.** On **Billing Details**, **Due soon** becomes **Coming up**, covering the next 30 days. A declined payment shows a red banner with **Update card** and **Pay now**. See [orders and charges](/families/families-payments-billing/where-can-i-see-all-my-orders-and-charges).

**Google and Microsoft sign-in.** From a club website it creates the account as a club member. Elsewhere, an address with no Uplifter account sees **We don't recognize this email**, and nothing is created. See [logging in](/families/families-getting-started/log-in-to-my-account).

## On your club website

**Find your club.** uplifter.app is now a public directory, searchable by club name, city, sport, region or postal code. The **Directory listing** card under **Settings > Website > General** controls your listing (published websites only). See [directory listing](/club/website-store/list-your-club-in-the-directory).

## Smaller fixes

* Guardians can sign program waivers from registration and order pay pages again.
* Deleting an athlete in a Family no longer fails.
* New families can check out for a just-added athlete, memberships included, before your club links them.
* Checkout pricing errors show their reason, and sign-in sheets and rosters list every enrolled athlete.
* Signed-in invited guardians can add athletes, and staff-created athletes join a Family.
* Receipts list each payment method on part-credit or part-gift-card orders.
* Cash, bank or e-transfer payments on a manual invoice enroll the athlete right away, and can be recorded on balances carried over from a previous system.
* The program schedule preview counts only real sessions, and schedule builder locks explain themselves on tap.
* A **Reload payment form** button appears if the card form stalls, and no decline banner shows mid-typing.
* Editing an allergy keeps the emergency contact.
* Guest attendee ticket purchases no longer fail at payment.
* Guardian profiles explain the account balance and next charge.
* Canadian clubs can pay their Uplifter subscription by pre-authorized debit or Google Pay.
* Staff who are parents at another club are no longer stuck in the family portal.
* The payout summary shows refund fees only for refunds to the original card or bank.
* Paying for a spot an admin placed no longer triggers the program-full refund.
* Moves from Uplifter 1.0 carry over emergency contacts, medical and custom questions, required governing-body plans (now as memberships), and whether each family and staff member had set up a login, more completely.
