Pause membership (vacation, emergency)

planned

Anaswara Swathi (Head of Community)

A "pause membership" option to stop the billing of current members and adding new members for a certain period, after which you can easily resume your membership from where it was paused.

Pause Individual Membership Levels

Gem of Amara

It's becoming more and more important to me to have the ability to pause membership and now with the tier system, it would fit my needs perfectly to be able to pause individual tiers. Thanks.

I agree with Jennifer that arbitrarily changing the day someone is charged would be a huge problem, but skipping a certain number of payments would be great. If I'm going on a summer vacation, focusing on finals, having surgery, etc., and I want to pause all payments for the month of May (or for the summer) that would be incredibly helpful and shouldn't disrupt anyone's budget.

Pause or extend membership

Anthony F. Navarro

If I'm going to take a week off (holiday, medical emergency, vacation) I'd like to be able to take the due date of my member's next payment and extend it by a week, so if someone had always paid their membership on the 7th, when I hit "Extend by 7 days" now their payment will always be on the 14th of the month.

This could potentially backfire in BIG ways. Some supporters are very specific about the date the join a membership solely for being able to put the payment date into their budget when/where it best fits into their budget.
For example, if I was your supporter, I would be highly ticked off if my payments on the 7th suddenly jumped by a week to the 14th because it would completely disrupt & unbalance my budget. Especially in recent times when people have literally had to budget every single penny. Even moving $1 from 1 week to the next could cause major issues.
If I was your supporter, I would much rather receive a short post of:
"Hey,
I just had to share this beautiful scenery with you while I'm on vacation.
Until next week when I return,
Tony!"
Instead of my payments being moved without my knowledge or permission.  When it comes to messing with other people's money & budgets  - just DON'T do it!
(Ps. Contrary to popular belief, budgets aren't only for the broke. Ask any rich or filthy rich person - they have budgets too, just with a few more 0's!)

Jennifer Robinson: You could do a pro-rated monthly expense. It will always come on the 5th of each month, but let's say I paused it for 2 weeks, then the amount due on the 5th of next month would be the 16/30 (16 days active out of the 30 that were available in that month)

would that work for you?

Jennifer Robinson: maybe it could be implemented as a one cycle pause? So if the creator pauses payments today, it would be off until the same day next month so every member would not pay for one cycle.
