Payment Classes

Payment classes are used to define your registration fees, or membership types/categories, within your account.

These are the categories for which members register/pay. Think of them as "buckets" or categories that members fall into. A member can hold a single membership type at any one time in a membership season, and can be upgraded/downgraded between different membership types.

You can create your membership types by:

• Go to Finance   payment classes.
• Click   add payment class
• Select the 'Fee type' as Registration fee
• You will then need to map your payment class to its relevant National Member Type (see About National Payment Classes below)
• Fill in the other details (e.g. the payment class name and amount). 
   The amount can be $0 (e.g. for Life Members, Volunteers, and Administrators). This is used to categorise these members into these non-paying membership types.
• Under the Payment class restrictions header, you can set certain restrictions f or this payment class such as:
  • Minimum and/or maximum age.
  • If it is applied to new or returning members only.
  • If it is displayed at registration.
•  If the Maximum or Minimum age has a padlock  next to it, this means that your state or national organisation has dictated the age restrictions already.
• Then, click Add payment class.
