Did you know that our clients have the option to offer their registrants flexible payment options? At Interpodia our team is always trying to provide our clients with the tools and features they need to streamline their operations and enhance their customer experience. Clubs can now offer installment payment options to their registrants, making registration processes more accessible.
Here are 5 reasons clubs should consider implementing installment payments for their club members.
- Increased Registrants: Clubs can attract a broader range of participants by offering the flexibility of breaking down registration fees into smaller manageable installment payments. This makes the club’s offerings more accessible to people who may have initially been deterred by a significant upfront payment.
- Flexibility and Convenience: With the option to spread out payments over a period of time, more individuals can participate in club activities, regardless of their financial situation.
- Streamlined Payment Process: Installment payments are automatically processed on specified dates making it hassle-free for both clubs and registrants.
- Improved Cash Flow: Clubs can create custom payment plans that suit their needs. This includes setting the number of installments, payment intervals, and payment deadlines. With this system in place, the club receives a consistent revenue stream over time, allowing the club to budget and financially plan accordingly.
- Enhanced Member Retention: Providing flexible payment options can improve member satisfaction and encourage them to stay with your club for the long term.
What type of installments can clubs offer?
Clubs have the option to offer registrants two different installment plans.
Option 1: Determine the number of recurring payments and what is the fixed period of time between payments. This payment option is based on the initial date of purchase. The registrant makes the first payment on the initial date of purchase and continues to make further payments every thirty days and repeats this for the number of payments you set.
Option 2: Set the exact dates that recurring payments will be processed. This is a calendar based installment payment option. The club decides the dates that recurring payments will be processed regardless of the original purchase date. Keep in mind that with this calendar based payment option, if you allow people to register after the first scheduled recurring payment date, they will not pay the payments that were set in the past. To manage this your organization can decide and adjust when it will stop accepting new registrants if they choose to go with this option.
