Memberships generate predictable recurring revenue for your clinic. Patients enroll, get billed automatically, and receive benefits like discounts and credits — so they keep coming back.
Memberships let you offer recurring subscription plans to patients. Each membership defines its own pricing, billing frequency, discounts, credits, and enrollment terms. Patients enroll in a membership and are billed automatically on a recurring schedule, while receiving the benefits you configure.
Create a Membership
Add Membership
Click the Add Membership button in the top right corner. This opens a full-page editor with multiple sections.
Fill in Basic Information
Enter the following details:
- Membership Name: The name patients will see (e.g., “Gold Membership”, “VIP Monthly Plan”).
- Description: An optional summary of what the membership includes. Use the AI generator to draft this automatically.
- Setup Fee / Promotional Discount: A one-time charge when a patient enrolls. Enter a negative value to apply a promotional discount to the first payment.
- Freeze Fee: The amount charged when a patient freezes (pauses) their membership.
- Minimum Billing Cycles: The number of billing cycles a patient must complete before they can cancel.
- Maximum Billing Cycles: The total number of billing cycles before the membership expires automatically. Set to 0 for unlimited.
- Text Color: Pick a color to visually distinguish this membership name in the platform.
Configure Fee Schedule
Set the recurring price and optional cycle-specific pricing overrides. See the Fee Schedule section below.
Set Billing Frequency
Choose how often the membership bills: Daily, Weekly, Biweekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annually, or Yearly. If you have multiple bank accounts configured, select which Deposit to account receives membership payments.
Configure Credits and Discounts
Set up patient credits, global discounts, category-level discounts, item type discounts, and per-item discounts. See the sections below for details.
Configure a Fee Schedule
The fee schedule lets you set different prices for specific billing cycles, which is useful for introductory pricing or promotional periods.- Cycle-Specific Prices: Click Add Cycle-Specific Price to override the price for a specific cycle number (e.g., Cycle 1 at 50).
- Going-Forward Price: The standard recurring price that applies to all cycles without a specific override. If no cycle-specific prices are defined, this is the membership price.
Set Up Credits and Discounts
Memberships can include multiple types of benefits that apply to enrolled patients.Patient Credits
A dollar amount credited to the patient’s account each billing cycle. Credits can be used toward any purchase. Configure the credit amount in the Patient Credits field. Banking Options: Enable Rollover Unused so unused credits carry over to the next billing cycle instead of disappearing. For example, if the membership includes 30, the remaining $20 rolls to next month. Optionally set a Rollover Expiry in days to automatically expire banked credits after a specified period. Leave blank for no expiry.Global Discount
A blanket percentage discount applied to all services for membership holders. Set the percentage in the Global Discount field (0-100%).Category Discounts
Apply discounts to all items within a specific category. Click Add Category Discount to select a category and set a discount percentage and quantity. Set quantity to 0 for unlimited usage within that category.Item Type Discounts
Apply discounts broadly to all physical products or all services. Click Add Item Type Discount and choose whether the discount applies to physical items or services. Set the discount percentage and quantity.Per-Item Discounts
Discount specific services, products, or packages individually.Search and Select
Use the item search field under the Discounts section to find and add specific services, products, or packages. You can also click + Create new item or package to create one inline.
Set Discount Details
For each added item, configure:
- Quantity: How many times per billing cycle the patient can use this discount. Set to 0 for unlimited usage.
- Discount Amount: The dollar amount off the original price.
- Discount Percentage: The percentage off the original price. Changing one automatically recalculates the other.
Items with a 100% discount must have a quantity specified. Set quantity to 0 for unlimited free usage, or enter a specific number to cap how many times the item is included per cycle.
What your patients see: At checkout, membership discounts are applied automatically. The patient sees the original price crossed out with the discounted price below it. Staff don’t need to manually apply anything.
Discount Groups
Group multiple item discounts together so patients can choose one option from the group each cycle, rather than receiving all discounts independently.Select Items for Grouping
Check the Add to a group checkbox on two or more individual item discounts. Only items with a set quantity (greater than 0) can be grouped.
Create the Group
When two or more items are selected, a blue banner appears. Click Create Group and enter a group name.
