# Create a membership plan

> Add a billing plan — price, frequency, forms, and add-ons — to an existing membership.

Plans define how a membership is sold — its pricing, billing frequency, and any extras like forms or add-ons. Each membership can have multiple plans (for example *Monthly*, *Yearly*, *Family*), all sharing the same benefits.

</Note>

## Step 1: Open the membership

From the **Memberships** dashboard, open the membership you want to add a plan to. Scroll to the **Plans** section, where existing plans are listed. Click the **+** icon in the top-right of the Plans box.

## Step 2: Fill in the plan details

The **Create new plan** form has these fields:

| Field                 | What it controls                                                        |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Plan name**         | Shown in your dashboard and on the shop front (e.g. *Monthly Standard*) |
| **Billing period**    | How often members are charged — monthly, yearly, every 3 months, etc.   |
| **Price**             | The recurring price per billing cycle                                   |
| **Setup cost**        | An optional one-time joining fee                                        |
| **Approval required** | Whether new members need manual approval before activation              |

Click **Create plan** when done.

## Step 3: Add form questions

After creation, you land on the **Plan details** page. Here you can add:

* **Application form questions** — answered once when joining (emergency contact, membership ID, etc.)
* **Per-person questions** — answered for each person on the plan (useful for family or team memberships)

## Step 4: Connect add-ons

In the **Connected add-ons** section, attach any optional extras members can buy alongside the plan — locker hire, equipment storage, and so on. Click **+** to pick from existing add-ons or create a new one. See [membership add-ons](/pricing/membership-addons) for the underlying model.

## Step 5: Review subscriptions

The **Plan subscriptions** section shows everyone currently on the plan, with their subscription number, start date, status (Active, Pending, Cancelled), and billing dates. This is your live view of plan performance.

## Checklist

To make a plan live:

1. Open a membership and click **+** in the Plans box.
2. Set billing, price, and any setup cost.
3. Add form questions and connected add-ons.
4. Verify the membership is on your shop front.
