While we have tried to make the membership renewal process as quick and simple as possible, you may occasionally find yourself needing to manually renew, change, pause or stop a membership for a member.
Follow the steps in this article to manage your memberships effectively.
Assigning a new membership
To assign a new membership for a specific member:
Go to your Members in the People module and find the member you want to edit
Click on their name or use Edit from the context menu
Open the Memberships card
Click on the Add membership button
A dialog will show up where you can choose the membership type and specify the start and end date for the new membership:
Optionally, you can also create a transaction for the membership fee and notify the member of the new membership. Click on Save to confirm.
Renewing a membership
To renew a membership for a specific member:
Go to your Members in the People module and find the member you want to edit
Click on their name or use Edit from the context menu
Open the Memberships card and find the membership you want to renew
Click on the context menu and choose Renew
You will be presented with a dialog with the following options:
Confirm that all the details look correct, and if needed, modify the start and end date of the new membership, and/or the transaction amount to charge the member.
Creating a transaction fee for the membership is optional and can be disabled if you don’t want to charge the member.
Click on Renew to confirm the renewal.
Pausing a membership
To temporarily pause a membership for a specific member:
Go to your Members in the People module and find the member you want to edit
Click on their name or use Edit from the context menu

In the dialog you will be prompted to specify the pause and resumption date:
Note: Pausing a membership will stop the current membership on the pause date, and start a new membership on the resumption date. The new membership will have its end date automatically extended by the duration of the paused period.
