- In the Bonus Points section, set the Bonus Points parameters if needed.
- In the Club Rule section, set the following club billing parameters:
- In the Duration box, select a number representing how many months to bill the club. For example, an unlimited monthly club will have the duration be 1 month. Type 6 for a prepaid 6 month club which can even be purchased as a gift and then after the 6 months can renew month to month.
- In the Billing Day box, select First Day or Sign Up Day. The billing will be scheduled to take place on the first day of the month for this club -or- the day of the month the Customer sign's up for this club.
- In the Grace Period box, select a number representing an amount of days that the customer can continue to receive washes if there is an issue with billing a customer's credit card such as it declines or internet outage. This is the grace period to stay in good standing with your customers until they can work things out with their bank or provide another credit card. Only applicable to customers whose status is “Bill, Active, or Declined.” Customers who are in the “Not Signed Up, Terminated, or Suspended” status will not be granted a grace period.
Unlimited Clubs. If you type zero (0) in each of the Wash per boxes, then the club is not limited. Customers may redeem unlimited washes for the given Duration.
Single-Rule Clubs. Establishing a single rule is the simplest club scenario. For example, in Wash per Month, you can type 31. This establishes a monthly limit for club customers. Other limits are not enforced.
Multi-Rule Clubs. If you want to establish multiple rules (for example, day, week and month), follow the general guideline of ascending order (for example, week is greater than day, month is greater than week, quarter is greater than month, etc.).
The ascending order guideline is not required by the software. Any combination of positive integer values and zeros are valid, whether they are in ascending order or not.
- Click the Save button.
The club is added to the list.
The Club Service PLUs are between 900 and 999. The Club Service PLU number is automatically generated for the club. You cannot change the PLU number.
