Exploring the Book Ahead of Renewal Date Feature

In this guide, we will explore the Book Ahead of Renewal Date feature, understand its significance, and learn how to effectively use it. This feature is crucial for managing how customers can utilize their current cycle's credits for booking classes or appointments that occur after their membership renewal date.

What Does It Mean?

The Book Ahead of Renewal Date feature allows you to control whether customers can use their current cycle's credits to book sessions that fall after their membership renewal date. For instance, if a customer's subscription renews on the 20th of every month, you can decide whether to restrict or allow bookings after this date.

Why Is It Useful?

  • Restrict Booking: Ensures that customers can only book future sessions after their membership has renewed, maintaining a structured booking system.

  • Allow Booking Ahead: Provides customers with the flexibility to plan ahead by using their current credits to book sessions that occur after their renewal date.

How to Use the Feature

When setting up the Book Ahead of Renewal Date feature, you will encounter two options:

  1. Restrict Booking After Renewal Date:

    If this option is selected, customers must wait until their membership renews before booking future sessions. This ensures that bookings are only made with renewed credits.

  2. Allow Booking X Days After Renewal Date:

    With this option, customers can book classes or appointments that fall within a specified number of days after their renewal date. For example, if you set this to 10 days, customers can use their current credits to book sessions happening up to 10 days after their renewal date.

Depending on your studio's policies and your members' needs, you can select the option that best fits your business model.
