Each membership type in organisations can have a joining fee applied. To setup go into your organisation > Setup > Membership Types. Click on the edit button for the membership type or create a new type. Set a Joining Fee cost.
This applies only to new members joining the organisation. The joining fee will be applied as a charge and is viewable in the discounts section and on invoices. Members who are not renewed but are re-joining will not be affected. To apply a joining fee to them:
- Move them into a new membership type e.g renewing after lapsing
- Set the price to include the fee
- After payment move them back to the old membership type.
