    Extra costs for member applications

    Current behavior:
    Membership fee is currently fixed for each membership level.
    In some situations it is desirable to have it dynamically calculated based on user selections. For example, user might enter a donation, select some special materials - or actual membership fee structure within the same level can be different

    Desired behavior:
    - Administrator to be able to specify extra costs fields in database fields
    - These fields to be displayed in membership application and used to dynamically calculate price

    Notes:
    1) During renewals user should be able to change his selections if allowed by administrator
    2) There should be an option to distinguish between one-time and recurring selections (e.g. if this level uses automatic recurring payments)

    Application Add On's

    On my "Application" wish list I would like to be able to add additional products/membership choices on the application.

    For example one could Check off that they would like a $5 cd and it would be added to the checkout process.

     Also on my wishlist for the application ad-on's would be more room for text.

    For example I have a agreement I would like my members to perhaps check off  but there is not enough room.

    Otherwise I must say I really like the ease of the application. I've just started the site up and just in two days I've goten several compliments. Thanks!

    Re: Application Add On's

    Hi Kim,

    Extra priced items are on our list, so this will be coming.

     
    Room for text - noted, will add to our list.

    Thanks for your input, really appreciated!

    Option for members to pay other amount in membership dues

    Hi,

    Any chance you'll create an option for members to choose how much to donate when they join via the membership form on our website?  We have sliding scale membership dues of $1 - $19.  Regular membership is $20.  Members get a free gift with a donation of $50 or $100, and they can join as Charter Lifetime Members for $500.  Currently, we have to set up each of these as a different "member level" and there is no way for people to donate another amount unless we create even more "member levels".  http://www.origins-usa.org/Default.aspx?pageId=24335

    Thanks,

    Bernadette

    Re: Option for members to pay other amount in membership dues

    Hello Bernadette,

     We do have this on our list and with your vote we will increase the priority of addressing it.

    There is no specific timeline as we are constantly re-evaluating the relative priority of different requests by commonality among our clients, but I would guess we get to do it in Q2.

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    I wanted to vote for this one! Its important to us, because we would like to add several other choices to our membership application such as cd, copy of our policy etc....and have it all calculated in according to there selections.

    Right now we have to do several different types of membership application levels and people are allways confused no matter how simple we make it.

     One application with "choices" and then them calculated would change are organization 10 fold and I believe increase membership levels a lot!

    Please vote if you need this!

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    And each option would have a specific price associated with it, right?

    Re: Different Initial and Renewal membership fees

    Bill,

    We have a similar feature on our Roadmap: http://www.wildapricot.com/forums/thread/6777.aspx
    that will be able to cover your needs.
    You are welcome to comment and vote for this feature.

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    I vote for this as an enhancement as well. At the time of application, we ask members what size cycling jersey they need (we provide one free of charge). We also give them the option to order additional jerseys, and/or a cycling jacket at a cost to them. It would be nice if this could be incorporated in the registration payment so we wouldn't need to invoice seperately for that later.

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    I vote for this too.  We would like to give members the option of adding a donation (in any amount of their choosing) to one of our scholarship funds when they register for their membership.

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    I'd like to add my vote for this feature. We offer 5 membership packages, each with 4 different price points depending on the size of the member organization. I can easily setup the 5 packages but I'd hate to setup 20.

     Thanks,

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    I would also like to vote for this option.

    Our association currently has three membership levels:

    Individual Membership
    Student Membership (reduced rate of individual membership)
    Organization Membership (allows for up to 3 individuals to have one shared corporate membership)

    For new members applying for the first time, we have a setup fee which is added to the first year of payment.  We require our process to allow for this setup fee one time, then renew at the normal rate.

    I don't currently see adding a one time additional fee to new members for each level.  We do need to do this!  So any advances toward this area would be much appreciated :)

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    Our members fall within two categories ... print or email newsletter.  Each has it's own price.  We would like to be able though to manually change fees paid to account for discounts, those who need a payment plan and scholarships.

    Re: Extra costs for member applications

    I vote for this feature too - or at least a version of it. To expand our numbers we regularly offer promotional discounts (through codes in the past) and also crucially need to be able to adjust membership costs for individual cases  - for instance if the cost of an event was subtracted from their membership fees.

    Many thanks,

     Claire

    Re: Application Add On's

    We need this feature for people to ask to receive a printed and mailed newsletter instead of the normal email/website newsletter. We are implementing now and are not clear how to handle this in the base system as it is, since we already have multiple member categories.

     
    What we would like is a checkbox on the application form "Do you want the printed newsletter?" and if chosen their membership cost is increased by a given amount.

    Also a question of how this could be changed by the person in their profile in a way that would let us know they wanted to receive the print version, or stop receiving the printed version, so we could both change our behaviour (about sending them printed newsletters) and also manage the charges for it.
     

     Thanks.
