Wix Bookings: Creating a Membership Plan

Improve monetization and increase recurring income by offering your clients membership plans. Give them unlimited access to selected services for a month, a year, or any time frame you choose (e.g. a yearly gym membership).

Clients can choose between paying for a service using their membership plan or paying using another method (cash, card, or discount coupons). You can also create services that can only be paid for by using a pricing plan exclusively.

Notes:

• Membership plans are not available for courses.

• Clients cannot use their memberships to pay for group bookings.
