Add benefits to a membership
Learn how to add exclusive membership benefits in eola, including free activities, percentage discounts and fixed price discounts, and manage them as your membership evolves.
Membership benefits let you give members exclusive pricing that isn't available to your general customers. The more valuable benefits you offer, the more attractive your membership can become, and the more likely members are to keep coming back. For example, you could offer members free activities, a percentage discount or a fixed amount off selected activities.
Decide who the benefits apply to
When setting up your membership price plan, you'll choose how many people the membership benefit applies to. For example, a membership for one adult would include 1 adult and 0 children. A family membership for four people could include 2 adults and 2 children.
This determines how many people can use the membership benefits when the member makes a booking. The member will only be able to apply their benefits to the number of people included in their membership.
If you haven't set up your membership pricing plan yet, see our helpful Set up a Membership Price Plan guide for more information.
