Creating Membership Options

How to create, delete and edit membership options on Foireann.Clubs generally provide their members with a number of options to choose from when subscribing for the upcoming season and examples typically include Full Membership, Youth Membership, Social Membership, Playing / Non-Playing options etc.  These options can be catered for following the simple steps in the Membership Options section of Foireann. When created, Membership Options provide the choices for club members to select and also the appropriate link to the relevant Association for registration purposes.  

Membership Options must be created regardless of your club facilitates online payments or not. These options are the different membership packages your club offers and will outline the member type, the playing status and the cost of membership. 

Depending on how you decide to set up your membership options, these will either become available for your club members to choose when creating their membership order or just for your club administrators to choose when registering members.

There are four main sections to complete when creating a Membership Option:

• Payment Options

6. Within the Membership Option Description section, complete the following fields:

• Season
• Membership Option
  • Name of the membership option
• Description
  • A small explanation of the membership option
• Status
  • Active = Available for selection, visible to all club members
  • Draft = Not available for selection, only visible to club administrators

7. Within the Membership Configuration section, you can configure who the membership option is intended for i.e Adults, Youths, Players, Non-Players.
