# Configure Membership Benefits (/how-to/memberships/configure-membership-benefits)



Benefits are what make a membership worth buying. Each benefit grants discounted pricing on activities, and you can add several to a single plan. For the concepts behind them, see [Membership Benefits](/docs/memberships/benefits).

Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

* You need a membership plan to add benefits to. See [Create a Membership Plan](/how-to/memberships/create-a-membership-plan).
* Decide which activities the discount should apply to and how it's calculated.

Steps [#steps]

1. Open the plan in **Resources → Memberships**.
2. In the **Benefits** section, click to add a benefit.
3. Choose the **discount type** and enter its value:
   * **Percentage off** — a percentage (0–100).
   * **Amount off** — a fixed amount.
   * **Flat member price** — the price members pay.
4. Choose **which activities** it applies to: leave the target empty for **all activities**, or select specific ones.
5. *(Optional)* Restrict the benefit to certain **days of the week**.
6. *(Optional)* Set a **monthly** and/or **yearly** usage cap. Leave blank for unlimited.
7. Add more benefits if needed (e.g., a separate weekend rate), then **Save** the plan.

Tips [#tips]

* **Use multiple benefits for tiered offers.** Pair a weekday discount with a smaller weekend one, or a deep discount on your signature activity with a flat rate elsewhere.
* **Caps stack.** Setting both a monthly and a yearly limit applies both — for example, 3 per month up to 30 per year.
* **Benefits are snapshotted at purchase.** Changing a plan's benefits affects future buyers only; existing members keep what they bought.
