The Goal: Understand how Recalculated Pricing works in GrowthZone and when pricing is recalculated for member renewals.
How Recalculated Pricing Works
When Recalculate Price is set for your membership types, the system will recalculate dues pricing for all upcoming renewal invoices in the following scenarios:
- If you have changed the base price for a membership type, the recalculated price will reflect this change.
- If you have changed the value of a field tied to formula-based pricing, the membership's recalculated price will reflect this change.
- If you change the value of a field tied to membership levels, the recalculated price will reflect the change.
IMPORTANT:
- Pricing will only be recalculated at the beginning of a new term. If a membership term is 12 months but the member is billed monthly, quarterly, or semiannually, the recalculated price will take effect only when the membership renews.
- Pricing will be recalculated for all members. If you have made manual adjustments to a member's schedule, those changes will be overwritten with the current pricing configured for the membership type.
Recalculate Price will immediately update pricing for new members and upon renewal for existing members. If you wish pricing to take effect for both new and existing members on a specific date, use the effective date pricing option. See Effective Date Pricing for more information.
Common Pitfalls
- Manual schedule overrides will be lost: When Recalculated Pricing runs, any manual price adjustments to a member's scheduled billing will be overwritten by the current membership-type pricing.
- Mid-term price changes don't take effect immediately: For existing members on multi-frequency billing (e.g., monthly payments on an annual term), the new price applies only at renewal, not to the next invoice.
