Benefits are what make a membership worth paying for. Sailia supports three benefit types — combine them freely to design your offering.

​
Session discount benefits

Apply a percentage or fixed discount to specific sessions or activity types. Use this for things like:
  • 20% off windsurfing lessons for members
  • Free Friday paddleboard hire
You choose what the discount applies to and how much. Sailia applies the benefit automatically at checkout — members never need to enter a code.

​
General benefits

Free-text perks that don’t change pricing but still matter to members:
  • Access to the members’ lounge
  • Priority email support
  • Early access to event bookings
These appear on the public membership page alongside other benefits, helping customers see the full value of joining.

​
Ticket access benefits

Control which tickets members can see or book — or create member-only ticket types. Use this for:
  • Open water swim — members only
  • Yoga drop-in: £8 for members, £12 for non-members
You can mix public and member-only tickets on the same session, with separate pricing tiers for each.

​
Managing benefits

Open a membership and use the Benefits section to add, edit, or remove benefits. Changes apply to every member on the membership automatically — no manual syncing. If a membership has no benefits or no active plans, Sailia displays a reminder so you know what’s missing before launch.
Session discount benefits run before any other discount codes in the stack, so a manual code applies on top of the already-reduced member price.

​
In short

  • Benefits define what members get.
  • Three types: Session discount, General, and Ticket access.
  • They apply automatically and can be freely combined.
