How do I give members guest passes to bring a friend?

Let members bring a friend or guest to a class, give them a free guest place each month, check guests in and keep track of how many people they bring.

There isn't a guest pass allowance you can add to a member's account. Instead, turn on Allow Tickets for the class so members can add a friend when they book, then give them a free monthly credit through their membership plan to cover the friend's place. This article explains how bringing a guest works, how to set up one free guest a month, how staff let guests in, and how to keep track.


How does a member bring a friend to a class?

With Allow Tickets turned on for a class, the member books it as normal and their own name is the first attendee. The basket then shows an Attendees section with + Add attendee and a Name of person attending box for each extra person. Each name takes a place in the class. It works the same way in the member app.

The member's own place is covered by their membership as normal. Each guest needs a credit for that class, either one the member already has, or a ticket they pay for by card in the basket. The membership itself never covers a guest.


How do I give members one free guest a month?

  1. Turn on Allow Tickets for the class: go to Settings, under Your Offerings select Activities, open the class, and under How is it booked? > Ticket purchasing choose Allow Tickets. Save your changes.

  2. Open the membership plan and, under Included Free Add-Ons, create a free add-on with 1 credit and set How often to Every month.

  3. Go to Products, open the new add-on and tick the class under Which activities apply?. Save your changes.

Unused monthly credits don't carry over to the next month.

⚠️ Note: don't skip step 3. A new add-on isn't linked to any classes when it's first created, so members can't use the credit until you tick the class under Which activities apply?.


How do staff let a guest in when they arrive?

There's no separate check-in for a guest. On the class register, the guest's name shows under the member's row. Check the member in and the guest comes in with them.

Guests don't have a member profile, so they can't scan in on the Welcome Screen.

⚠️ Note: staff can't add a guest to a member's booking from the Diary. The member adds their guest when they book.


How do I keep track of how many guests a member has brought?

ClubRight doesn't keep a guest count against each member. If you use a free monthly credit, the limit looks after itself: once a member has used that month's credit, any more guests need another credit or a ticket paid for by card.

To see who a member brought to a class, open that class's register, where each guest's name shows under the member who booked them.
