BEFORE YOU PROCEED - Please read and understand the following:
Bulk price updates require 4 working days from the effective date to take effect, as Direct Debit requests must be processed through the banks. This means that any changes made today will not reflect for customers until 4 working days later.
You cannot schedule bulk changes to run automatically on a future date — the update must be performed manually when required. For example, if you want new prices to apply from 1st April 2025, you should run the update process on 26th March.
In line with UK Direct Debit regulations, members paying via Direct Debit will receive an email notification confirming that their existing subscription is being cancelled and a new one is being set up at the updated price. This may cause confusion, so we strongly recommend informing your members about the upcoming price change in advance. Let them know they will receive this email but no action will be required on their part.
Package
This feature is available on the Complete package only.
Step 1:
To access the 'Bulk Payment Actions' area, first go to the 'Settings' menu in the top right. Then, scroll down to the 'Bulk Payment Actions' tab.
Step 2:
Click the 'Create new action' button. Give your action a name, for example "Peak Plan - Price change", then click "add and edit" to set-up your price change
Step 3:
Choose the membership plan for which you want to adjust the price. For multiple plan adjustments, repeat this exercise for each plan.
IMPORTANT : You cannot schedule bulk price changes for a future date. The effective date should be at today's date. This ensures that the subscription is updated correctly from the point at which you run it. If you collect on the 1st only, then running the bulk action on the 25th on a 30/31 day month will leave sufficient time and ensure that prices will change for payers from the 1st of the following month. February is an exception, and so to change for March, run the routine on the 21st to 23rd.
Step 4:
You now have 3 different options for amending current member prices:
Option 1 - Amend ALL members on the same plan to the SAME price:
Here you would select "Set Fixed Payment" and insert the NEW price, for example, if you want all members on the plan to pay £49.99 per month going forward, insert the value 49.99:
Option 2 - ADD a fixed value to all members current prices:
Here you would select "Increment Payment" and insert the amount to ADD to each member's current price, irrespective of what they are currently paying. For example, you wish to increment the members by an extra £5.00 per month, insert the value 5.00:
In this example, a member currently paying £30.00 per month will increase to £35.00 and a member currently paying £35.00 per month will increase to £40.00 per month
Option 3 - Amend ONLY members paying a defined price to be increased to a new value:
Here you would select "Change Specific Payment" and insert the from and to values. For example, you only want members currently paying £30.00 per month to increase to £35.00 but wanted to leave anyone paying any other amount as they are:
Repeat as needed for each current value that you want to change.
Step 5:
Send a message (optional but highly recommended!)
We strongly advise that you send a message to accompany the price change. This keeps your members informed of their new payment amount. It's easy to do this by clicking "send a message", then composing, select "no consent needed" (as this is an essential business communication and not marketing) and this will be sent when you run the increase action:
Please Note - any members that pay by Clubright Pay or GoCardless will be informed separately of their new subscription amount by email too. You may wish to include reference to this in your email to avoid confusion.
Step 6:
Click on the 'Check & Schedule' button.
Review the list of customers whose prices will be changing. If the correct customers are displayed and the setup is accurate, you can proceed by confirming and scheduling the changes.
If everything appears correct, click 'Confirm and schedule'.
The price adjustment for the selected membership will take effect in 5 working days.
The Bulk Price Change Process will ONLY impact current active/overdue members. If you wish to change the price at which the plans are sold at, then please make sure you change the plan value in Settings > Membership Plans > Payment Schedule tab
