Q. Why is it that when an existing member upgrades their account it creates a new processing record for them?A. If they upgrade on the order page, and then if they pay with a different email other than the one under their account it will create a PROCESSING record for them.
A special order page can be setup where it requires them to be logged in to view it and then this issue will not occur.
When this happens, you should delete the PROCESSING record and add the billing record to the original Member account.
Q. What does .processing mean when viewing members?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. 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.

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.
