The Goal: Create and price membership application add-on items so your members can opt into extra opportunities (sponsorships, conference room use, mailing labels, extra category listings, and more) that generate additional non-dues revenue and carry over into each year's renewal billing.
Before You Begin:
- Add-on item functionality is available with version 2 or greater of the membership application form.
- Create a Fee Item for the add-on items first. See Setting Up Fee Items.
- Once your add-ons exist, include them on your membership application form. See View/Create your Membership Application Form.
