The full changelog with release dates can be viewed at "OpenPlay > What's new on Flow"


Introducing Scheduled membership payment options

We have introduced a new 'Scheduled' payment option for Memberships, allowing you to offer memberships that run for a specific, fixed period - ideal for seasonal or term-based memberships.

Note: A feature flag must be enabled by OpenPlay to use this feature.

  • Admins can create payment options with specific start and end dates.
  • Add custom names such as "Summer Term 2026" to help staff and customers identify them quickly.
  • Staff see the exact active dates during sign-up, so they can give clear, accurate information.
  • Customers can view the specific dates their membership will be active, both during purchase and within their account.
  • Options are automatically hidden from sale once the fixed end date has passed, keeping your lists organised.

Activities V2 improvements

  • Manage 'join after start' from the schedule: The 'Allow joining after start' toggle is now available in the schedule settings, so you can see and update joining permissions directly within the schedule slideover. This gives a consistent experience between the course template and individual schedule settings.
  • Smoother, more reliable service: We have refined how the platform manages internal processes following the transition to Activities V2, helping keep it fast and responsive.
