How to set up family/group subscriptions

This feature allows multiple contacts to be grouped under the one membership. This is useful for households all family members are linked under a common reference or grouping of people within an organisation under the one subscription.

Subscriber Groups requires the background processor to be used and override contact values to be setup on the Merchant Faciltiy. For more information on the background process, see: How does the Batch Payments Processor work

When Subscription Groups are enabled, the Checkout will prompt users for each subscription group (family) entry.

When renewing a membership/subscription, the Subscriber Group members will be pre-populated and can be amended.

Various (configurable) member types are supported such as “Adult”, “Child” etc. Maximum numbers of a particular member type and number of voting rights are supported at each member type level.

 

The Merchant Facility tab can be found within the Payments2Us menu (Top right picklist in Salesforce - Select Payments2Us), or it can be found under the "More" at the end of the tabs. (In Salesforce Classic - It can be under the "+" at the end of the tabs)
