Age & Member Type pricing charges each member a different price based on their age or member type (Adult, Child, Senior).
Step 1: Create the Product
Go to Finances > Products and click Add New.
Enter the Product Name as it should appear on the member's bill (for example "2026 Membership Dues").
Enter a description. We recommend: "Click the checkbox on the right to select this membership type." List the cost for each age group or member type so members know what to expect.
Set Fee Type to Membership Fee.
Step 2: Choose the Pricing Method
Each product can use one of these pricing sections: Flat Rate Pricing, Per Member Pricing, Age & Member Type Based Pricing, House Guest Options, or User Defined Price.
This article uses Age & Member Type Based Pricing.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Use only ONE pricing method per product. Do not enter values in more than one pricing section (for example both Flat Rate AND Per Member). Leave the others blank.
Step 3: Turn On Age & Member Type Pricing
In Age & Member Type Based Pricing, check Enable Age / Member Type Pricing.
Optional: check Require All to require payment for every member on the account. When unchecked, the account can choose which members to register.
Step 4: Require Date of Birth
In Require Date of Birth, select the member types that must have a date of birth before they can be registered. The list shows all your member types.
Example: if you select Child, any child on the account without a date of birth cannot be selected at checkout. The member sees a "Not Entered" message telling them to add the date of birth from the Manage Account page first.
This is how it appears at checkout when a birthdate is missing:
🚨Recommended: When using age-based pricing, also require date of birth site-wide in Settings > Members > Account Settings > Require Date of Birth. See Member Splash Settings.
Step 5: Set Up the Prices
In Prices, add one row per price. In each row enter either a Minimum Age and Maximum Age, or a Member Type, and then the Price.
Click Add Row to add more rows.
Age ranges include both ends (for example, 3 to 17 includes ages 3 and 17).
Age is calculated from the member's date of birth on the day the payment page is loaded.
Best practice: use age-based OR member type-based, not both.
Use age-based pricing when:
Members might age out of a category.
Example: 0-2 years free, 3-17 years $45, 18+ $100.
Use member type-based pricing when:
The price is the same for everyone of that type, regardless of age.
Example: all Adults $500, all Children $150.
Step 6: Publish the Product
New products: click Publish.
Existing products: click Update.
💡 Tips & Best Practices
Clear descriptions help members: list every price tier in the product description.
Test before going live: go to Membership > Accounts, use Switch to on a test account, and check the price for different ages and member types.
Age cutoff dates: there is no cutoff-date setting; age is based on the current date. If your club uses a cutoff (for example "age as of June 1, 2026"), set your age ranges with that in mind.
Lock birthdates and member types: in Settings > Members > Account Settings, use Allow Members to Edit Date of Birth (Yes, always, Only outside the season dates, or No, never) and Allow Members to Change Member Type to stop members switching to a cheaper price. Members can still add a missing date of birth.
