How to Switch Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) Settings Between Monthly and Yearly

This article will guide you through changing a user’s automated billing settings between monthly or yearly billing for membership renewal. First, you must select the membership category that will be subject to renewal and enable automated recurring billing (ARB) for that category. Then you will impersonate the member and toggle the setting. If you wish to provide instructions to members on making the switch themselves, they can be given the procedure starting at step 8.

 

Accessing Membership Categories

1. From the Member365 Administrator Dashboard, click ‘Membership’ on the bar at the top of the screen.
