Membership types and fees

Membership types are the association’s own categories for what a member pays — for example Standard member, Youth member and Supporting member. You create them in the settings and attach a fee to each type.

Create a membership type

  1. Open the association settings and choose Membership types.

  2. Add a new type and give it a name.

  3. Set the fee and how often it is charged.

    Leave the fee empty for a type that costs nothing, such as Honorary member.

  4. Mark one type as the default.

    New members get the default type unless another one is chosen.

Name types after what they cost, not what people do

A membership type answers the question "what do you pay?". Good names are Youth member, Supporting member and Family member.

Avoid names that describe a task, such as Leader or Player. Those are roles, and they are set on the member separately — otherwise it becomes unclear whether someone who stops playing should also stop paying.

Collecting payment

Once the types are in place you create a payment request and choose which members it applies to. The member receives a request and pays by card or Klarna, and the payment is registered automatically.

If someone pays another way — by bank transfer, or Swish straight to the treasurer — you mark the payment as paid manually from the member’s profile.

Changing a member’s type

Change the membership type from the member’s profile, or on several members at once through bulk editing in the member list. Changing the type does not affect payments that have already been created.

Types on the application form

If you have a public application form, you can choose which membership types are selectable there. Types you do not want people to pick themselves are left out and set by an administrator instead.
