# Memberships (/docs/memberships)



**Memberships** let you package your activities into paid plans that customers buy once and benefit from over time. A member gets discounted pricing on the activities you choose, for as long as their membership is valid — giving you a predictable revenue stream and a strong reason for guests to return.

You'll find Memberships under **Resources → Memberships** in the dashboard.

How it works [#how-it-works]

A membership has three moving parts:

1. **The plan** — what the customer buys: a name, a price, and how long it lasts. See [Membership Plans](/docs/memberships/plans).
2. **The benefits** — what the membership gives them: discounted pricing on specific activities, optionally limited by day of week or number of uses. See [Membership Benefits](/docs/memberships/benefits).
3. **The purchase** — the customer buys the plan at checkout, receives a membership number, and gets a receipt by email. See [Buying a Membership](/docs/memberships/buying-a-membership).

You build a plan once, add one or more benefits to it, and enable it. From then on, customers can purchase it and enjoy member pricing.

Example [#example]

A paddleboard rental shop creates a **"Season Pass"** plan for $199, valid for 365 days. It carries one benefit: **20% off all activities**. A regular customer buys the pass, gets their membership number and receipt, and saves 20% on every rental for the next year.

A second shop runs a **"Weekday Club"** for $49 that only discounts Monday–Friday bookings, capped at 4 uses per month — perfect for filling otherwise-quiet weekday slots.

What you can build [#what-you-can-build]

* **Flexible pricing** — percentage off, a fixed amount off, or a flat member price.
* **Targeted benefits** — apply discounts to every activity or only the ones you choose.
* **Time and usage rules** — restrict benefits to certain days of the week and cap how often they're used per month or year.
* **Two validity models** — a rolling duration that starts when each customer buys, or a fixed seasonal window shared by all buyers.

Permissions [#permissions]

Memberships live under the **Resources** area of the dashboard. Team members with Resources access can create and manage plans; see [Configure Roles and Permissions](/how-to/team/configure-roles-and-permissions).
