Certainly! Here’s the revised version with improved grammar and formatting:
Member Products enable you to automate membership purchases. They can be configured with various details, pricing, and durations.
In this section, you can create different products tailored to your group and make them available to users based on specific criteria.
Accessing Member Products
- Navigate to Administration Configurations
- Select “Users” from the Menu
- Select “Member Products” from the Menu
- View Member Products on the Page
Creating or Updating Member Products
Using the instructions above to access Member Products, you can modify them at any time. Below are key fields you can configure:
- Title: The name of the product, best kept short and clear.
- Description: Shown to users when purchasing the product. Include membership terms and other relevant details (see more below).
- Product Availability: Restrict product access based on user status (see more below).
- Price: Set in whole dollars.
- Duration (Months): Specifies how long the membership will last after purchase.
Product Availability
Bilby allows you to configure products so that only certain user statuses can purchase them. For example, you can create a product exclusively for “Approved” users or design a discounted renewal for “Expired” members.
This is especially useful if you offer introductory memberships to new users.
| Availability | Description |
|---|---|
| Approved | Only users with an “Approved” status can purchase the product. |
| Member | Only active members can purchase. Ideal for offering discounted renewals. * |
| Expired | Only users with an “Expired” status can purchase. Useful for adding an admin fee on late renewals. |
| All Statuses | Available to any user with a valid status. * |
| Not Available | Temporarily disables a product (e.g., for seasonal offers). |
* Members
Users with a “Member” status can only purchase “Member” products if their member expiry date is within 45 days of the current date. For example, if their membership expires on 15 February, they will be notified of renewal availability in early January and again 7 days before their membership expiry.
Product Description
When a user purchases a Member Product, they will be shown a “Details” page before completing the purchase. This displays the product description, which should include:
- Terms of acceptance
- What the product includes
- Links to external resources
- Any other relevant information
Hot Tip!
Product Duration
Duration is calculated in months and applied to the user’s existing member expiry date.
Example 1: If a user with an expired membership purchases a 12-month product, their new expiry date will be 12 months from the purchase date.
Example 2: If an active member purchases a 12-month renewal during the renewal window (within 45 days of expiry), the 12 months will be added to their current expiry date.
