Overview
Zero-Dollar Recurring Add-Ons allow your club to create recurring add-on records with a $0.00 payment amount. This is ideal for providing members with recurring session packs — such as personal training or scheduler sessions — at no charge, without requiring any payment processing.
When a zero-dollar add-on is active, charges are generated on their normal schedule and are immediately marked as paid. Any associated personal training or scheduler sessions are dropped automatically for the member at that time. Zero-dollar add-on charges do not count as past due or delinquent and will not affect a member's club access or check-in.
Enabling Zero-Dollar Recurring Add-Ons
This feature must be enabled by ClubOS before it is available at your club. Contact ClubOS Support or your CSM to request activation.
Creating a Zero-Dollar Recurring Add-On
Once the feature is enabled for your club, you can create a recurring add-on with a $0.00 amount directly in Member Management.
- Open the member's account in Member Management and navigate to the recurring add-ons section.
- Begin creating a new recurring add-on record.
- Set the Amount field to $0.00.
- The Payment Method section and all related payment inputs will be automatically disabled while the amount is zero. No payment information is required or collected.
- Complete the remaining fields (frequency, number of payments, etc.) and save the record.
Note: If the feature is not enabled for your club, the Amount field will require a value greater than zero and a payment method will be required.
How Zero-Dollar Add-Ons Work
Billing Method
When a recurring add-on is created with a $0.00 amount, the billing method is automatically set to Statement.
- The member's contract will reflect Statement as the recurring payment method.
- No payment information is stored on the record.
- Generated charges will carry a billing status of Statement and will not include payment details.
Charge Generation and Session Drops
Zero-dollar add-on charges are generated on their normal schedule based on the frequency and number of payments defined on the record.
- When a zero-dollar charge is generated, it is immediately marked as paid — no manual action is required.
- When a charge is marked as paid, any associated personal training or scheduler sessions are automatically dropped for the applicable member or cardholder.
Member Access and Delinquency
Outstanding (unpaid) zero-dollar charges are not treated as past due or delinquent and will not interfere with a member's club access or check-in.
