How to configure Membership Types? – HELPFUL VILLAGE

Click the Membership tab.

This section allows you to view and manage the different membership settings for your Village.

To view your Village's available membership types, click Membership Types.

Grace Period

Grace Period: The grace period is the period of time after a member's expiration date during which the member is still considered an active member. Once the grace period ends, the member is no longer considered active.

A typical grace period for Villages is 30 days.

There are two ways to identify members who are currently in their grace period:

Member Profile: An orange dot (•) displayed on the member's admin profile indicates that the member is currently in their grace period.
Active Members List: Go to Admin → People Management → Active Members. Members who are in their grace period are highlighted in red.

Renewal Notice

Renewal Notice: A notification email sent to a member to remind them that their membership is approaching its renewal date. The notice may include relevant renewal, payment, and membership information.
