Prorating allows a customer purchasing a club to pay a prorated or adjusted price for the remainder of the first month of their club membership with the understanding that the expiration date will be moved to the first day of the next calendar month. Upon the renewal of the club, the customer is charged the full amount of the club and their expiration date is moved forward based on the duration of the club.
Prorating is honored only if billing is on the 1st of the month and prorating is enabled. When a customer renews and billing is 1st of the month, their expiration date is moved to the 1st of the next month. If prorating is enabled, they are billed the remaining portion when renewing; However, if prorating is not enabled they will be billed the full club amount.
Customers can view the prorated purchase price on the club wash buttons shown on the ICS payment terminal screen.
