# How to Set Up an Add-On Feature Membership Program

### Before you begin (Prerequisites)

* **Permissions**: You must be an **Administrator**, **Supervisor**, **Manager**, **Support**, or **Account Rep**. See: [How to Manage Users and Permissions](/products/control-panel-overview/admin-overview/manage-roles-permissions.md).
* **Payment Processor**: At least one processor must be connected. See: [How to Link a Payment Processor](/products/control-panel-overview/admin-overview/link-payment-processor.md).
* **Primary Program**: At least one Paid Subscription or ID Card membership program must exist.

### What is an Add-On Feature?

An **Add-On Feature** is a membership program type that creates an additional membership card and subscription for an existing member, billed independently from their primary membership. Use it when you want to sell a recurring benefit — such as locker room access, parking, or a guest pass package — on top of a member's main membership.

| Use Case                             | Program Type                 | Result                                                                                                     |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Primary membership                   | Paid Subscription or ID Card | Member's main enrollment; one membership card                                                              |
| Add-on benefit (locker, parking)     | Add-On Feature               | Separate card and subscription alongside primary                                                           |
| Standalone recurring charge, no card | Service                      | No membership card; managed via [**SELL > Manage Subscriptions**](https://control.peoplevine.com/services) |

### Instructions

1. Navigate to [**MEMBERS > Manage Membership Programs**](https://control.peoplevine.com/admin_membership_list.aspx).

> **Note (Pro Dash):** Navigate to **REWARD > Manage Membership Programs**.

2. Click **NEW MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM**.
3. Select **Add-On Feature** as the membership type.
4. Enter the basic program details:

| Field                     | What to Enter                                                   |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Membership Card Title** | Descriptive name (e.g., "Locker Room Add-On", "Parking Add-On") |
| **Internal Name**         | Short label for internal reports. Members do not see this.      |

5. In **Billing for this Membership**, enter prices for each frequency you offer:

| Field                                            | What to Enter                                              |

| **Initiation Fee**                               | One-time enrollment fee, if applicable (set to 0 if none)  |
| **Service Fee**                                  | Credit card processing surcharge percentage, if applicable |

6. In **Taxes**, assign **Tax Groups** to each billing line item (Dues, Initiation, Application, Fees).
7. Set **Allow Signup Option** to **Full-Service/Admin Only**.
8. Click **UPDATE MEMBERSHIP**.

### What Happens Next

* **On the system side**: The Add-On Feature program appears in [**MEMBERS > Manage Membership Programs**](https://control.peoplevine.com/admin_membership_list.aspx) and under the **Membership** tab when subscribing a person. The member gets a separate membership card and subscription with its own billing cycle.
* **On the member side**: The member sees both memberships (primary and add-on) in the Member Portal.
* **Next step**: Enroll a member via [How to Enroll a Member](/products/control-panel-overview/membership-management-hub/enroll-member.md) — select the Add-On Feature program from the Membership tab.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://help.peoplevine.com/products/control-panel-overview/membership-setup-overview/setup-addon-membership.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
