      Seasonal Membership Payment Options

      A Seasonal Payment Option is a 12-month membership with seasonal pricing that adjusts based on when it’s purchased during the season.

      📌 When to Use Seasonal Memberships

      Seasonal memberships are designed for organizations that run activities in defined seasons (sports clubs, associations, training programs, etc.).

      Use Seasonal Memberships when:

      • You want fair, reduced pricing for late joiners.

      • You want all members to renew together at the start of the next season.

      • You want to avoid manually adjusting payment options during the season.

      Example:
      A running club sells memberships per season. If someone joins halfway through, they should not pay the full price but instead a reduced price. Seasonal memberships solve this automatically and ensure that everyone renews on the same day when the new season begins.

      ⚙️ How to Activate a Seasonal Membership

      1. Go to YOGO Admin → Prices

      3. Inside the membership editor, click the + under Payment options

      4. Select Seasonal Payment Option

      Each membership can only have one seasonal payment option.

      📝 Configuration

      When creating a seasonal payment option, you’ll set:

      • Payment option name (e.g., Seasonal Membership)

      • Coverage (always 12 months)

      • Price (the full-season price)

      • Season start month

      • Day of month (optional – only available if you are not an “always renew at first of month” client)

      Only days 1–28 are available to avoid leap year complications.
