Q. How do I fix it when a member upgrades and it creates new processing record instead of associating the payment with the existing member?A. When logged in as the admin go to "
View Members".
Then, find the new PROCESSING record and click '
Billing' and copy the billing details (
including transaction id).
After copying, delete the billing record. Find the original Member record and click on 'Billing' and add a new billing record with the details copied from the PROCESSING one.
By copying the transaction id it will ensure that future payments will apply to the correct account.
By adding the billing record it will make sure any commissions earned are applied that night when commission payments are calculated.
Q. What happens if I have a Member with the username temp and I change it?A. A username of TEMP987 means the
person didn't complete the setup process and needs to finish creating the account (and then it will change from TEMP987).
If you manually modify the TEMP987 record while logged in as the admin to something else,
then the Member account that was TEMP987 is not completely setup and doesn't have it's primary capture page loaded and other minor issues like not having a signature loaded.
Q. How do I fix a member that has the username of temp987?A. The processing records are Members that paid, but never filled out the form to create their account.
The process is, they pay first, and then afterwards go to the join page to create their account.
When they pay, the processing record is created, and then when they fill out the form, it is populated with their information.
If they pay, but never fill out the form, then they will show up as processing until they create their account.
With these records, you should send them to the join page to finish creating their account.
Don't try to edit the processing records yourself by putting in their information
(the processing account is missing several things and needs to go through the join process),
instead, fill out the form on the join page using the same email that shows for processing.
Q. How can we upgrade members to another membership when they send us payment manually?A. Go to "
Members" then find the Member that you want to change the membership for and
click on their membership.
It will give you a list of available memberships that you can click on to change the membership.
After that,
click the billing link on the right side and enter in the amount you received there.
Entering the billing amount is not needed if you are not paying commissions.
If using direct payment the process is different.You would still change their membership, but instead of clicking on billing to enter the amount
you will
click on the amount column that appears next to the username and enter it there.
NOTE: You will need to click the red suspended link to unsuspend them if they are suspended.
Q. If a member upgrades or downgrades, how can they keep their account without starting over?A. If a member wishes to upgrade/downgrade their account then they should first go to /admin/billing and cancel their account there. Then they should login again and on the suspended page click the option they want to upgrade/downgrade to.
They can also order again from the order page as long as the email they make payment with from the order page matches the email of their account it will reactivate them. It may take them to the join page where they fill out the form to create a membership, but they do not need to fill out the form because they already have an account.
This answer does not apply if you are using direct payment to members.
