Membership Types define the parameters for purchasing a membership. Create Membership Types according to the applicable purchasing options as defined by your department. Membership Types are assigned to the Membership program. Examples/suggestions include: Individual, Family, Senior. 

Membership Types cannot be deleted if they have memberships associated to them.

Standard  - Basic type occurs for the number of weeks, months or years indicated on the Type and expires after that duration.

Subscription - A membership subscription is a recurring payment for a membership. It can be in weekly, monthly, or annual intervals. Once the subscription is set, the credit card will be charged at the beginning of the interval, such as Sunday for weekly, the first of the month for monthly, or the first of the year for annual intervals. The start date of the membership must be at least a day away from the date of the registration.

Once the extension is set, an adjustment will be applied at the beginning of the interval, such as Sunday for weekly, the first of the month for monthly, or the first of the year for annual intervals. The start date of the membership must be at least a day away from the date of the registration.
