Summary
FLOW allows the purchase of multiple Direct Debit (DD) memberships offline (online functionality coming soon) under a single billpayer. This enables one customer to purchase memberships for themselves and others in a single transaction, with all DD collections linked to a single DD mandate.
This feature must be enabled by your Client Success Manager. Please contact them if you would like to activate it.
Once enabled, staff access must be configured via the Customers Area in the Staff User Role settings.
Key Points to Note
-
Offline Sales Only: Multi-customer memberships can currently only be sold via the Customers module. Online sales will be available soon.
-
Flexible DD Management: You can freeze or cancel DD fees for individual memberships while keeping others active.
-
Single Direct Debit (DD): The head payer (customer responsible for the DD mandate) will have a single DD transaction, regardless of the number of associated memberships. (Except for Fixed Memberships.)
